You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Hello everybody, welcome back to another Thursday. Will in advance you are muted. I am stoked to have everybody back for another week. Doctor Dodson back in the house in a very dark corner of the house. How are we doing.
It's the first of the month, so grab your checks and come out.
Lots of people excited.
Yeah, well, I am broadcasting just barely from southwestern Virginia where I grew up, Bland County, population about six thousand. Beautiful. Our property is surrounded on three sides by National Forest. As you can see behind me, I don't know if it's bright enough. Let me briefly flood the room with light. Behind me. Is my mother's doll case. Not creepy at all, Not worried, Not a big deal. I have come to visit my seventy five year old parents and helped them
with some physical labor. I have been sedentary too long. Today I mowed a three and a half acre field with a tractor and bush hog, and I like that. That kind of work is how that's how farmers get fat, because it seems it seems like it's work, right, because the sun's beating down on you. I'm sun burnt to shit. I've put all tons of unscreened, but the sun was like, ah, I guess what it was twenty twenty five. And you feel like it's a lot of work because you get tired.
But you're just sitting on your ass and try to listening to a podcast.
You know, all of our farmer listeners are gonna be pissed that you're saying this.
No, man, I did some real work too. I dug some holes and picked up heavy things and moved them from one place to another. That's really most that's most of farming. Yep, moving shit around sometimes literally. Yeah, yeah, I did not do that, thankfully, although I did find some bear scat on the porch this morning. On the porch,
well the bear, you know, you know what's happened. See, I'm in an area where we used to have a holiday when I was growing up in school, first day a deer season was a holiday because nobody's gonna come to school anyway. Everybody went out hunting, right, And this is what the Second Amendments really for two things. I don't want to get political. The Second Amendment is for hunting for food and overthrowing the government. That's what I mean, That's what I was written for. It's what it says,
that's the text. Well, i'll tell you what has done in this area. We're totally overpopulated with deer and bear. Now you know why video games. Ain't nobody hunting anymore. They're just sitting on their ass playing, playing Call of Duty or whatever, starving to death because well you know, they're about to lose their food stamps. Jesus. So that's how I'm doing. How you been, buddy.
We are not even five minutes into the stream, and we've already talked about the big, beautiful shitty bill and the Second Amendment. And I love you so much for It's the fourth of julyb baby, celebrate losing foodstamps. I'm all right. It's been a depressing week for both of us. We both had a lot of shit going on today, specifically, tried to edit the visual essay that I'm in the throes of right now. Was not the best mindset to be in.
Let's turn it out great. I like it.
I'm so glad you think so. Yeah, It's it's been a tough week. There's been a lot of stuff going on. My kids had some stuff at Thankfully, summer school is over as of yesterday, but man, this summer has been rough for him. I had some issues with his teacher and a couple of friends. But some other people here very happy to see you. Josephine wants to know you've seen in in Tokyo, the junk Man, Buffalo sixty six, Aska Policeman, two timid souls and targets.
Targets of course. And I remember I have seen Buffalo sixty six long time ago on VHS. I need to watch that again. I kind of need to give that guy another chance. You know, the critics tore him apart after that BJ movie, right, and but I you know, I gotta give him time. Oh and you know what, I can't believe how selfish? Rest in peace?
Michael Madson, Yes, absolutely, how about that seems quite young for him to go kinda kind of hit hard today.
Yeah, me and me and several people in this community are thinking about that right about now. And then.
I don't know how many people paid attention, but Michael Madson and very similarly last named John Madden both.
Pasted today not the football game.
Yeah, the guy that all he did was in vent a football game.
Yes, I know who that is. I'm just kidding. My mama is walking out in the background. Let me tell you, I got a good mama. I got a good mama. I'm pretty lucky.
I was waiting to hear any word from over there.
She's very polite.
It's been a hell of a month since you've last been here. What have you? What are you check it out that you want to talk about.
What was the last thing we talked about? Oh, my gosh, to quote bust of Rhymes, movies. Do you talk about movies?
I've seen sure, or you know, just cool people walking down the street or something.
I got a lot to talk about. Let me tell you. This month has been all about taking the first steps towards thinking about making changes to improve mental health. Like I am mister coping right now. I'm like, I actually had a great idea for a destination therapy resort called the Copa Cabana. Right. The crowd gets it, the crowd's into it.
I'm laughing because I've read something that somebody in the discord posted that Michael or John Madden died. Yeah, he died years ago, and I just didn't even go in there to read that.
I'm gonna say it seems well, you know what, I still miss him.
Anyways, Copa Cabata, Yes, that is a very funny joke.
Mental health, it's important. You can't really do anything without the right mindset. We'll see what did I watch? Okay, So people are probably gonna beat me up in the chat.
I hope so.
But my lovely wife and I attempted a date Jack Cayne's funny. My wife and I attempted a date in which we went to see and I had I had coupons for free tickets, and it was my last set of coupons I used on this movie. And we went to see Dangerous Animals and I wanted to like it so much, and she did too. She walked out about forty minutes in. I made it. I made it about fifty I've walked out of three movies in my life, and this is now the third one. Made it fifty
five minutes in. Maybe the last thirty minutes are unbelievable. Somebody can tell me if it is. But the character development such as it was, just I was losing and I was like, these people just couldn't take it. So I did not finish Dangerous Animals. I did watch several good movies, though I saw a couple of Jack Arnold movies. I saw the three D film The Glass Web from nineteen fifty three, which I highly recommend. It's a Who
Done It? Noir film, complete with them Fatale, but set at a television station that is producing a true crime show, so there's all kinds of meta stuff. Great. Nineteen fifty nine, Audie Murphy saw No Name on the Bullet And let me tell you, as I've gotten older, we've talked about this a little bit. The older I get, the more I pay attention to run time before I start a movie. Well, this movie said seventy seven minutes, and I was like,
you're going on? And it was beautifully written of philosophical western about an assassin who gets into debates with a doctor, a physician. They even play chess together. It has to be a reference to a Seventh Seal, which would come out two years earlier. Just great. Highly recommend. No Name on the Bullet I recommend for different reasons. This is the last Jack Arnold movie. I watched Bob Hope and Lina Turner because yeah, Lona Turner's going for Bob Hope
spoiler alert, A lot of Turner. Yeah, she's forty years old in this movie. I don't care. Shan't going for Bob who, who, by the way, had to use Q cards, couldn't even memorize this line movies called Back in Paradise. He plays essentially a cross between Louis Thorreau and Andrew Tait. This is Bob Hope's character in the movie. He's a travel writer and he writes about the anthropology of romantic relationships in different cultures, if you know what I mean.
And he gets into some tax trouble so he has to come live in a suburb, this new thing called a suburb that was just starting to get built in nineteen sixty one, and he observes the ecology of suburban housewives and hilarity ensues. Dustin Puntman points out that Dangerous Animals character development pales in comparison to any Jim W. Norski movie, to which I will again reply, if the movie does what it's telling you it's going to do, it's a good movie, and if it doesn't, it ain't.
So what else did I watch? Let's Get Away from Jack? Arnold. I watched Okay, here you Go. I watched a newer movie than I liked on a shutter called Out Came the Wolves. It's about a love triangle, a love triangle that is going hunting, always always good to win, always good to bring your boyfriend and the guy who's your best friend, who you know well if no full Well has been in love with you for twenty years on a hunting trip, there are wolves. I enjoyed it, and
we'll see the last one. I'll say. Another short western, this one starring a young Dean Stockwell and Joel McCrae. It's called Cattle Drive. Sexy title, sure to get people out to the metroplex. It's about this spoiled It's about this spoiled little rich kid who's railroad baron father spoils him. As I said, well, he neglects him. Really right. You got to feel bad for the spoiled little rich kids. Their parents don't love them.
Yep.
And he gets separated from his train and lost in the wilderness, and uh, he gets picked up by some cattle drivers and has to learn how to be a man. Beautiful day. It's good. Watch the TV show, watch the news, Room. I've been thinking about the train, you know, the changes to news media over the last decade and a half. So I decided to watch The Newsroom. Don't recommend it.
It's an Aaron Sorkin show. I was interested in it because it's about like the last real news, like hard news program, cable news program as it fought its losing battle against the Internet and tiki talk and whatever. And if it had focused on the news stuff, I probably would have liked it. But every character was so loathsome and pompous, and all it was was about all of them hooking up and like I give a shit about that.
You know. Olivia Munn was pretty good in it. I liked her character, who was less frivolous than everybody else, which is funny. She was just in the speaking of news, the news that I get on my algorithm. Ol Olivia Munn says a director in the newsroom tried to black blacklister and failed. That's the That's the only news I learned today.
Amazing. I'm so glad these all go together.
Yeah, I went on and on and on. How about you? What you've been looking at?
Uh, very different things than yourself. This last weekend went to the theater to see a couple of movies.
Uh.
Took the wife to see F one the movie UH happened to show up at the theater and mister and missus KB Loves Movies was sitting right in front of us, completely understanned. So that was nice. Brad Pitt starring movie that's been in the works for quite some time. Didn't love it, not necessarily my style of the movie, but definitely wanted to see it. I think in my letterbox review I called it the equivalent of cinematic mayonnaise.
Ew.
Yeah, there's some shots that are like really well put together, and there's one scene in particular that I would love to see, Like, I hope they have a big featurette on the disc about it because I'd love to borrow it from somebody exciting buying it. But see what they did to film this shot, because it was kind of incredible. I was like, the guy's like actually dead right with the way they were filming this. But yeah, the film itself just not really that great in my opinion. I
considered it quite bland. The other thing, though, was leagues worse than that, and that was Megan two point zero saw the first one. I liked it enough. I didn't think it was necessarily a terrible movie. But man, Megan two point zero was something else, just completely go ahead.
That was the one subtitled this One's for you.
Queen's Basically it had the most telegraphed villain in the entire history of cinema maybe, and I completely just wanted to I'm not like you. I've not walked out of three films. Ever, this is one that I probably should have walked out of. But I'm getting my money's worth, even though it was a list and technically cost me nothing that day. Yeah, I do not recommend Megan two
point oh. I know a lot of people love it, and I'm not against the whole like tone change, because this is going for like a Terminator two versus Terminator horror versus sci fi action type of chain. I guess, just not not my thing. And then it bombed entirely. It's like something that really shocked Blumbhouse, which is hilarious to me because the movie's not great.
I saw a thing where Jason Bloom was talking about the reasons he felt like it bombed, but you know, the whole bombing. I'm sorry to interrupt your Oh, I'm gonna let you finish. But the whole concept of bombing is so artificial and it really weirds me out that like NPR reports on box office, like what does that mean to the average moviegoer? Like because of the blockbuster
model started by Jaws and Star Wars. Right, a successful movie is one that makes a shit ton of money on its first weekend, and if it doesn't, then it's a failure unless unless right, it's like a time a micro budget movie that like slow burns like Terrify or in a in a in a what was that h slasher movie that you hated? In a in a VI? Oh I saw that too this month. I was all right walking he's in shade. That's the you know, that's
that's how they catch you. But it's so illusory and it ends up destroying entire like companies and and and filmmakers' careers when it's completely minute, meaningless. Let a movie. Let a movie air out for a couple of weeks, for god's sake, you gave you gave Thunderbolts six months to make its movie back.
Money playing in local theater.
Yeah, you know, you know, give Megan two point. Oh time to shine.
Or don't. That's fine with me.
Well, I guess Pride Month is over. What are we are now? Patriotism Month? Oh y'all? This this month is for me.
Speaking of patriotism. One that we watched this week altogether in the discord as a Patreon we all came together and watched The Swimmer with Burt Lancaster, a very existential film. Enjoyed watching it quite a bit with the crowd. There was a lot to discuss, lots of oh boy were they making this and thinking this wasn't creepy moments in this movie? But really, man, the end of this movie hits hard and honestly kind of pairs well with what
I watched last week, which was Pixar's Elio. Just two movies combined together, you know, really deep in the idea of loneliness, and they hit hard for sure.
And everybody's talking smack about Elio. To give the Dagon cartoon a chance.
It's very good. Ellio is quite good. And then capped off my week last night with the brand of twenty twenty five movie. For some reason, I thought this was last year, but one of them days. This is streaming on Netflix right now. This is a modern comedy with Keiky Palmer and Siza who have just the absolute best chemistry together. This movie is hilarious and specifically there is a scene in a blood donating clinic and holy shit,
that scene got me so much. If you have not seen it, everybody should probably see one of them days. It is so so damn good, quite fun and really just good comedy. Nice to see something. Not a lot of comedies hit nowadays.
This says, is the one with that the wig of her face.
No, that is Sia.
I don't know what is saysa saying, I.
Don't know that I can name any titles at the moment. Actually, she's got a really good song with Kendrick Klamar. She performed at the Super Bowl this year with him.
Is she like us?
Not from what I've heard. No, you are not at home right now. You have any pickups to share?
Unfortunately I can't hold them up for the viewers, but I can rattle off a couple.
Well you know what I can do cause I actually, and I have not told you this, I have to ship them to you. But I have some of your pickups.
No way, why don't you tell the audience. What we got there.
We shopped at the Limelight sale that was just going on over in the UK. And you've got Claire Denise Chakras, You've got Birdie, You've got Track twenty nine from Indicator, Little Murders from Indicator, you've got the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes from Eureka. And then is the Fugitive. They made me a fugitive from Indicator, and they got here extremely quickly. I feel like we just had that conversation about what to get and they're already here.
Yeah. Shout out to Little Murders. I forgot. I also watched that last month. Shout out to Sam Deagan who recommended that on her podcast right after Donald Southern passed away. I saw it on YouTube. Didn't realize that there had been a physical release, and there it was. When the sale hit.
I want to shout out Limelight. This showed up with a handwritten note like thanking us for shopping at the sale. It says, dear Ryan, I would like to thank you for ordering with Limelight Connection Collections. This is our first sale and your customing custom means so much to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon. The Limelight Team, and just to you know, be in the politeness spirit, I also added the other movie that you wanted and
got you Werner Hurtzeg's Radical Dreamer for free. Thanks for being amazing. This is yours, buddy.
Wow, that is really nice. No, seriously, you know, well that's a long story. We have a lot to cover tonight, but remind me to tell you but next week or next month, let's talk about generosity. Okay, generosity. I want to talk about someone very generous. Some people are asking why you had to order my stuff. We are both broke and so we decided, but we're also irresponsible, so we just had to be irresponsibly responsible and safe lit an order so we could get free shipping. Yeah, so,
uh what we were talking about pickups? So yeah, those things. And then of course there was the Criterion sale. I got Anora and the Brazil four K and The Wages of Fear four k Arry Lindon Adventures of Antoine Donald. I was really excited about that because that lets me retire both my DVD box at and my Blu Ray of four hundred Blows. So that's a lot of space Saver Killer sheet Barry Linda Night Moves, Mashima Life, and
four Chapters. Those are the main main things. I've been ordering a couple of things off the Vinegar Centrum sale every year when they deep discount stuff. That's when I do blind bys. You know, I'll get like, I'll get like one thing a day, you know, and tell myself that that's cheap, and then at the end it's like, oh shit, I spent two hundred books. Woosh. Yeah, so
but good. You know, the Criterion sale is always an exciting time, and gosh, all the big announcements that have been coming that we'll talk about tonight, but also the big announcements from the last few weeks from Warner and from I mean the Warner Archives announcements alone have been great.
Get are those like this next week? Actually?
Yeah, stuff from Severn and Finneger Syndrome and Radiance and everybody. It's just been a really exciting slate.
Yeah, it's a it's a lot to keep up with. We got a lot of sales to talk about tonight and cover. So this is kind of one of the best times to shot, but also kind of one of the worst if you're trying to go everywhere because there's so many of them. Speaking of Criterion sales, this is not the only stuff I got, but wanted to share and shout out. I know KB already got one shout out, but I got to go and meet him and Nathan Jones to shop together in a physical store, which is
super rare. And you'll see I got Brazil and the basquayacht set and then uh we we got we got some good stuff this time. Actually it was stuff that has not been on sale yet, so finally been like been waiting for the last however long. So uh yeah. Always nice to get something I've been waiting like four months to get from the last some other big stuff. One thing I wanted to surprise you that I got because I've been waiting for it for a very long time and it finally went on sale so I was
able to get it. But the first thing. Really wanted to shout out Deaf Crocodile, as I always do because their stuff is incredible, but this is actually only Deaf Crocodile adjacent they If you are a member or a subscriber, thanks for that, Jason appreciate that if you're a member a subscriber, you get access to a member's only portion of their website that you can get stuff and order it. They put up for sale Jerry Barta's Waiting for Gollum book.
He was able to do. This is the the director of The Pipe Piper and all the short films that just came out. This is autographed by Jerry Barta and that is extremely rare. This book without the autograph is crazy expensive because it's out of print, and it was quite a lot keeper on Whoops the Deaf Crocodile website, So thank you to Craig and Dennis for that. It is amazing. But my big thing that I'm excited about,
and I'll just give you a tiny hint. You'll know what it is, but maybe some people that aren't excited about this won't. This is rad do you did it? So I finally I've been waiting a long time.
Don't put it on.
These subspecies coffin box set from Full Moon. It is on sale right now in the full Moon website. I decided to pick it up because not only is it on sale, but I'm a affiliate member of full Moon, so I used my own affiliate link and got another little kickback from it. So yeah, I tried to save a little bit of money. If anybody wants to buy from Full Moon and you want to help somebody out in the process. Sale still ongoing for like four days, let me know and I'll send you my referral link.
I think. I think if you use the word connected as your coupon code at the end, it'll go to me. Also, so co O N N E C T ed I.
That coffin boxes down to like under ninety.
Right, it is, but it's Charles Band, so they keep restocking. Oh yeah, price wise, Yes, I think it's the eighty seven at the moment.
I mean, look, it's all five movies plus vampire and soundtrack and the Glow in the Dark Reddit. I love the Subspecies movie.
So I had this on my list ever since. I had about an hour and a half long conversation with Heather Drain about indie vampire films from the nineteen nineties, and I was like, you know, I don't I don't have Subspecies, so I needed to get it. It is. It is something that I will be going through every single movie here the next couple months. I bet I got a couple other things, but we'll save those for the next show.
Because did you all talk about to die for probably at.
Least a little bit. It's been I think it's been almost two years since we had that conversation, so I don't remember.
I've never talked to her before, but I love her stuff. I also want to say, as anybody can tell from looking at me, I am obsessive about eighties and nineties hip hop. It's true, but I have to admit I don't know shit about what's going on now. I heard the Kendrick Lamar song for the first time last week, the one where he says Drake is a pedophile yep, and it was okay. But like I'm looking around trying to learn the new stuff. I found this great artist
be for Better. I'm sure some of the people know her. She's from Mississippi. Oh my gosh, she's great. Check her out on YouTube. Big And you know who just came back after a long hiatus, Pride in North Carolina, PD Pablo. Yes, he did so pretty pretty excited about both of them. But yeah, I'm I'm trying to get caught up. I'll get on. This is a tip.
Can we say it efferent way? Because I think we're still doing crazy.
That was.
I was referencing Bone Thugs and Harmony at the beginning. Yeah, oh boy.
Uh, Tyler wants to know if you enjoyed the music styleingce of Pitbull.
I know who that is? I have not. I couldn't tell you if I've heard a song. I have not. I don't know what it is.
He he will definitely tell you his name if you.
Forget it, Like DJ Collin, does I know that guy? Is criss Cross still cool? Man?
Are you kid?
I feel like nineties hip hop was like nineteen thirty's MGM for for child stars. You know, like, I'm not real happy about the way criss Cross and another bad creation, and you know all those all those Trayvon Campbell call no Tevin Campbell, Tevin Campbell, people like that got treated. So I'm not going to make fun of criss Cross, but the backward pants were like, jeez, come on, hey, that jump song was that was tight? Though it's true Mackey making maybe mikeey making make Daddy or something.
Uh anything else from the last month. You want to you want to chat up before we get into it, sir.
Nothing the viewers want to hear about.
Well, there's a couple of things they'd probably love to hear about, but nothing that we can.
Talk about on that right, Yeah, you know, we'll see what happens. I read. Uh, well, yeah, we won't get into politics or but I'm hopeful. I'm trying to stay optimistic age you see. Uh no, yeah, just trying to think. What can I talk about? What am I allowed to do? What am I allowed to talk about? You tell me, dear listeners, what would you like to hear us discuss.
I'm hopeful, especially after some things I've seen online in the last week, that next time you're on, we're gonna be able to talk about our biggest project yet probably finally.
Uh can we talk about anything?
Oh?
Iron Heart? Iron Heart's out on Disney Plus.
I have no idea what that is.
It's the she's uh re Rea from Marvel. She's the new Iron like an iron Man or something. I don't know.
I think we talked about gator bait last time, Jason, you want to talk about gator bait? You know what just.
Coming through.
For everybody that has not had a lot of time to hear you talk about it? How about the you know, maybe your favorite personal interaction with Joe Bob Briggs so far because you've spent time, like driving to your house with him in your car, You've spent time at your house with him, You've helped like run his table for him at an event. Uh.
Oh, I haven't run the table, but I'm I'm uh, that should be happening. Well, yeah, we're going to I can say this right, Yeah, John Dale and I are going to Nashville, uh to interview him at a performance of How Redneck Saved Hollywood. And I'm really excited about that in person interview and we'll tell you what it's for soon after it's finished, I hope, you know. Yeah,
I can't really share. I asked him. I did. I did take the chance to ask him about some of his non Joe Bob writing, and you know, he didn't He talked about a little bit, but didn't get too far into it because he you know, he didn't know what I'm gonna do with it, you know, because he was a journalist. He wrote about he wrote about politics
and social issues and stuff. So yeah, no, it's just he's just a very gracious guy and actually paid attention, pays attention to what people are saying to him, and it was really cool. Yeah. Sorry, I know I didn't go in any like fun story direction, but hopefully I'll have a fun story hearing a couple here at the next episode episode that I do in August. Oh well, no, I guess I can't talk about that yet either, don't. I don't know you. You're the guy who is in charge of this stuff.
I mean, there's so much that I want to be able to say. I will tease publicly since I already said it in the discord. But we just had in one day, Will and I signed our first contract with the studio, and then later that day well yeah, well, later that day had a virtual conversation with a horror master that Will worships with every being that he is and I have loved for decades. And part of that you will see soon on my channel, and the other part of that you'll see when we can discuss it.
Yeah, let's move on.
You don't want to keep hyping that up?
Come on, No, I mean, once, once we can say what it is, we can share it. But now it just sounds like we're kissing each other's ass.
Well, I am, I love you. I love you.
I don't enjoy it, No, I just uh, I am very superstitious.
Concid is it Jason bluff.
House, I'm just very superstitious.
Oh, it's really funny.
So I want to make I want to make sure stuff is happening and we can and then we can get into it.
But that is so much better than the rest of the day has been already.
It is true. We did we did sign a contract for a piece that we did for an actual studio, and that interview, which you'll be able to talk about I guess here in a few weeks, was hilarious and unbelievable.
So it's gonna be I think my third most difficult interview I've ever done to edit.
I think you should just put up the raw footage.
Maybe I'll maybe I'll put up the row for the Patreon.
It's great. Those goddamn dogs.
Were u Rapa's here against Night says do you know ero video on Second Site films in the UK? Yes, we both love them. Will you got a favorite arrow or second Site you want to shout out in?
Well, I mean Second Sight did that great Texas chainsaw massacre? Said? You know Ero Uk, as Ryan informed me last month, puts out better four ks than Criterion every single time. If they choose between the two, that's the way to go. I can't remember what's my favorite thing from Errow UK because I don't really separate the US and UK releases on my shelf, so I don't pay attention. But I got ton like I've got a whole. I'd say I had about four hundred ERA releases next of UK and US.
You know, shouting out very specific Arrow UK releases. I am so stoked that they put out Shock Treatment and we have not got that in the US, so that's a big one. I don't think that's in print, so I'm sorry if you don't have it. I should not have said that, Hey, let's go to our announcements because it's already almost forty minutes in. As we already discussed, the Criterion half off sale is happening now, and it's
a really good sale this time. That first off, there's all kinds of stuff going on sale for much lower on Amazon, which I'm not necessarily saying to shop with Amazon, but it's kind of crazy, like there's been four k's go under twenty dollars.
Yeah, and I do have to say I ordered today Felonious Monk went down to sixteen, right, and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna have to do that.
It's so cheap compared to getting a brand new Sorcerer. Four K was at one point like fourteen dollars and twenty eight cents, which oh what that? Yeah, it was for like eight minutes. I posted it in my Instagram story to try to get as many people as I could on it, and everybody, like eight seconds after it posted was like, it's God, you idiot and something. Yeah I got I got lambasted after posting that, just so everybody knows.
And see, you know, that's why socialism can't work, you know what I mean. There's limited quantities of good things and they should go to the people who deserve them. That's right, the wealthy elite. I'm coming out pro wealthy elite.
During Patriotism Month, William.
Come on, Hey, that's what that's what this country has become. Some would say it was that's what it was always about. But you know, if if I can't enjoy inheriting wealth through the sweat of my own ancestors, then I don't want to be here.
I understand that entirely.
Uh people so much dude, So.
Collection on sale at Barnes and Noble all the way until July twenty seventh, works in store and online. Check it out. I just remember it. I've rewards of Barnes and Noble too. Damn it. I should probably go go one more. Let's go. Speaking of Aero Video, Erow UK is releasing the four K of American Jigglow that they did in the US already as the site exclusive box. If you want on this or slipcover whatever it is,
you can only get it from the Arrow site. Everything else is the same, all the same extras, all everything. The next one September one on Blu ray only in the UK. We are getting dead st Stream on Blue Rays is a Shutter title as part of that Shutter deal that we announced with them a few months ago. I love dead Stream. Have you seen dead Stream?
Well that's the guy. Yeah, I did see that.
It's okay, Yeah, yeah, it's pretty decent. This one's got a bunch of the archival extras. There's new introduction by the director I believe in his wife there. This was recorded exclusively for Aero Video. Uh what else?
Why are we laughing at me? The director and his wife? Did she have a role in the movie was she.
I'm not sure, actually, I honestly don't know.
Like, my wife's here, can you she's hanging out. I'm sure she had a role.
Silent Manimal wants to know. It's only a k But is it reaching free? Probably not actually, because there's a US release, it probably is not Reagion free.
You know who a lot. I like. The reason I thought of this is because of one of their one of their last studio albums called was called UK Drive and it's great. But the Kinks, you know the Kinks.
Yeah, I've heard of them. I've got to hose myself.
Get past the you really Got Me stuff, you know, and and get into their later career. It's all these great concept albums about class issues and culture and one of their last great albums, which came out in the late eighties, UK Jive, just beautiful. And it's region free.
So that's dead stream. I like the movie. Will is okay about it?
September Yeah, okay.
September fifteenth on Blu Ray in the UK we get Lucky McKee's The Woods from two thousand and six. I've not seen this one, Lucky, he's been on the channel. He's a good, good guy, good director. I need to see this. Stars Bruce Campbell, It's a big thing. Rachel Nichols is in it.
That's all right, Like it's better than the Village the Shamala Milan o Shamalan shooting tonight. Oh do I tell you that? I watched what's it called the concert movie Trapped? Trap? Great? Are you serious? Right now?
I love Trap?
Oh my god?
It is so entertaining for whom everyone.
A bunch of thirsty housewives. No, let me tell you real quick. So I like the Woods is good. Everybody by it. I'm gonna make sure it stays up on the screen for a minute. We didn't talk about Trapped for real, No, dude. I was so excited. When I sat down and the credits came on, I was like, all right, I'm gonna try them again. And it said Hailey Mills, and I was like, Hailey Mills, like the Hailey Meal Mills. And then it made sense to me because it's like a trap, right, But it could have
been anybody, Like I saw Hailey Mills. She had some lines, but like nothing to distinguish that it was Hailey Mills. She's just a random British person running the FBI, and look, I'm willing to suspend disbelief. We've talked earlier tonight about how I'm a Wine Norski fan. So the fact that the FBI was like, yeah, we're gonna set a trap at a pop pop concert with twenty five thousand people.
We're gonna We're gonna let like the people who sell water know what's going on, and we'll be sure they keep the secret.
Fine.
I bought it right, but it just kept getting dumber and dumber and dumber. And then when it came down to the showdown between Josh Hartnett and h Night's daughter, I was just like, oh my god. I couldn't blame it. But The Woods is interesting. Uh, it's got a cool concept. Bruce Campbell small role, but he's impactful as always. It's spooky. It's nothing like The Village. I just said it because
the Village is in some woods. I too, like Lucky McKee, who was originally going to be can I say that, Yeah, the the monster in Toby Hooper's The Toolbox murders, but I had to pull out the last minute anyway.
So the Woods we got a new audio commentary here with Lucky McKee and Walt Chaw. A new video interview with Lucky McKee and his wife, Just kidding, Vanessa McKee. They did a lot on this movie.
Made me slap my leg and it's so sunburned.
We're gonna be here six hours tonight and I love it. Oh Man. There's a brand new video interview with the actress Agnes Bruckner on here. New featurette showcasing Vanessa McKee's original storyboard artwork for the film, never before seen behind the scenes footage from the film set sourced from Lucky McKee's personal archive. Illustrated collectors booklet with new writing by Walt Shaw and mea baffy.
Yeah.
I think I need to get this and I'm excited for it because I'm not seeing.
It, to quote Wayne Chaw.
Next up is September sixteenth on Blu Ray in the US and Canada. The Adams Families Hellbender is coming out as from twenty twenty one, one that people have wanted for quite some time. Thankfully, this is for those that have not seen The Adams Family. They're the ones that did The Deeper You Dig and a handful of other movies. Arrow's given them quite a lot of love over the last few years, so it's nice to see them do this, But Hellbender seems to be most people's favorite released from
their's this or one other. But yeah, this is pretty cool to see. New audio commentary with Toby Poser, John Adams, Elda Adams, and Lulu Adams. New visual essay by the filmmaker Jen Handorf. Featurette on the visual effects by a visual effects artist, Thankfully. There's a new artwork by Beth Morris, who I just had on the show for to talk about her art nice and then a new writing on the film by Natasha Ball and Kat Hughes. Have you seen hell Bender?
No, but I've been on one not No yours was a Hellish Bender. No, call it what you want to man. Oh bearded film guy likes the artwork. I think we're going to see a very beautifully soft lit Instagram video here before too long, and you know what, I'm gonna watch it and probably save it.
Save it. That got creepy kind of quick, and I like it.
No, Well, sometimes I'll, you know, just go through my saved collection because I don't want.
To hear that. Chris will saves your videos come on man September thirtieth. Arrow's releasing The Good, The Bad, and the Weird on four K here in the US and Canada. They had already released this in the UK, and thankfully right after I picked it up, that's when they're releasing it here in the US.
Thank you for your service.
Yep, amazing. Nothing new on this, but you might want to pick it up. It's fun movie. Have you seen The Good, Bad, in the Weird?
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Yeah, this is a very fun movie.
I used to say, I noticed that I had a tick on this show where I would always say, Oh, I'm excited, I'm excited about this, I'm excited about that. And now I've noticed I just say that's pretty good. I gotta find a way to change up my responses.
Like a year ago, somebody posted in the comments, hey Ryan, we're gonna drink every time you say interesting tonight, And now I try to never say the word of my life lives.
They're on a hellbender, that.
Is true, but the big one for many people from air over this month. September twenty ninth over in the UK. September thirtieth Here in the US and Canada, Creep Show two on four K. This is the pretty much the exact same release that they did a handful of years ago. I think it's been five years.
Actually.
The difference is this is only the red cover. I think when they did it before, there was three different color options. At some point there was a Canadian cover and then the red cover, and I think there was a site exclusive purple cover. Maybe. Yeah, it's been a while, but yeah, they had a lot of options.
For this one. You know. And I used to never care about packaging until I met you. And I'm not saying you made it happen. It's just that when I started watching this show and being on it, I noticed that well, and really the industry started shifting more towards carrying out packaging. Yep. But now like I actually pay attention to it, and I'm like, you know, making decisions right,
different editions. Meanwhile, you know, every now and then I'll just go drop one hundred bucks on Warner Archive titles and be delighted. But what there's been a couple of like Warner Archive suspicious comments tonight. Is there something I don't know?
No, I was I was about to comment on we were just talking about criterions, great deals on Amazon. I don't know if you're paying attention. Like every day there's been two or three sneaky Warner Archive deals that have been shocking on. Like there was a title this week that was six dollars and fifty cents.
Don't tell me that crazy prices. All right, I'm going to open a new tab.
That's He also a reminder to everybody to follow not just on Instagram but everywhere else because I Instagram doesn't get any of the deals and all that because you can't click links, so you gotta check on Facebook or threads or Twitter or Blue Sky. I'm everywhere, but those deals, they get really good, and I try to post as soon as I see them.
What in the hell I'm looking at my Warner Archives West left, Chase.
Let's go to the next title. September eight over in the UK. September ninth in Canada, the US arrow is doing proof of the Man. Why does that say proof of the Game. Let's just hide the fact that that's misspelled there. This is from nineteen seventy seven. I need to change that title. This says when mixed Race Johnny Hayward heads from his Harlem home to Tokyo, he becomes the victim of a brutal stabbing in the elevator of a plush hotel hosting a catwalk show by elite fashion
designer Yoko. That same night, Kyoko Sun, with her powerful politician husband Yohi, is involved in a fatal hit and run accident and flees the country. Suspecting the incidents maybe linked to Detective Manuse heads to New York to investigate Johnny's background. Here he has partnered with local detective Ken Schulten, whose name whose own links to Japan, dredgeup painful memories
from a Nusai's childhood. This is supposed to be really great. Actually, we get a new audio commentary with Rod Busher and DJ Scheme Richards, new video introduction by Earl Jackson on this new filmed discussion with critics Junior Sado, biographers Tatsuyo Matsudo and Masaki no Mura. There's also a booklet new writing by Michelle Kisner and Alexander's all ten.
Worth it Man?
Yeah, I need to check this out. Proof of the Man, not proof of the game.
Well, you can take the man out of the game, but you can't take the game out of the man. Yeah, that works.
Sibnar just sent me this deal. I'll post it here in the chat. Will I think you already got these, But Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume two is only eleven twenty six right now.
These are the new four K ones.
No just Blu Ray. They're not doing any Looney Tunes on four.
K oh All I have is the six volume DVD set. These are all new things.
They are our nation.
When I click on the link, it doesn't do anything here. I'll send it in the private chat too. Fun If you got a coupon on top of that, let me tell you, let me tell you something. I like to think of myself as savvy. But the little coupons that Amazon does, they they get me every damn time.
That's kind of crazy. Rafa wants to know to zero Video still release Blu Ray. Steel Books did not hear any news about this since twenty twenty one. They've released a couple since then, but not really any in like large numbers at all, So probably either getting away from it entirely or just very rarely all right, I think that is going to be our last Arrow title with this one, and that is September first in the UK September second, North America. We got a four K of
Lost in Space from nineteen ninety eight. This is why Shout was only able to do Blu Ray because Arrow had the four K rids coming. Uh oohoo. They definitely won.
Up to them that fucking movie. Excuse me, I didn't realize my Michael, you.
Play it off. We got some new interviews here for those that loved the movie. There is a booklet here was writing by Neil Signard, articles from the American cinematographer, and an excerpt from the original production notes. Do you hate Lost in Space? Will No?
It's fine? Who's talking about Desperado?
Well, Desperado came out in a see a book last year.
Oh I see. I used to be in this band and my bandmate did this incredible impression of Tom Waits singing the Eagles Desperado. That's one of the funniest things
I've ever seen. I wish I could recreate it. Well anyhow, Lost in Space, Oh I remember that came out when I was working in a video store in my youth, and it was one of the titles that the studio was trying to push, So we had like a whole wall of Lost in Space ironically, no way you could lose your you know, lose where it was, your location. It was just bland and with you know, I guess it's the CGI of the time, but it was it felt like one of those movies that was just focus
group to death or producer noted to death. So maybe maybe if I saw it again now on four K, I'd be like, Wow, this isn't dangerous at all. Will Robinson.
Tom says really likes the Lost in Space of artwork, the movie not so much live for the TV series. Can you get with the packaging and that makes perfect sense? Jim says also love the TV series, absolutely hate the movie. Yeah that that is about what I heard from everybody.
Mm hmm, all right. You know what movie I'd like to make adapted from a TV series? I'd like to make Gilligan's Island.
You know, see that I could see that doing good actually.
Like today and like add some I put them on one of those islands that's about to go under because of climate change. So like there's a there's a they can't just live in paradise, right, like the first half day there's some paradise stuff and then they realize, oh shit, you know we're we're maybe like a year away from drowning. We got to figure this out.
I am a terrible person because I was so waiting for you to say. And so they go around like the crest of this hill and they realize it's Epstein's Island and damn dude. Anyways, let's get away from Aero video. Speaking of great movies, Megan two point zero is getting a four K steal book from Universal. You can pre order this now and it will come out eventually.
I think it came out already. Whoa hey, I loves this movie.
September eighth on four K. Vertigo releasing over in the UK, is putting out Dangerous Animals from this year. We get Alamo Psa, meet Jay Corney, and then Tucker's Experience Meet the Animal. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't say much earlier. I really liked Dangerous Animals. I think it's a lot of fun.
Why don't you do a discord watch along and I'll come in for the last thirty minutes just to.
Yeah, we could probably do that. Uh. Speaking of packaging and Warner Archive, they've announced that lots of their pre orders for high society are going out without slipcovers, and so many people think it's the end of the world. If yours was missing one. You can get one by sending an email to disc Services at allied von dot com and let them know that you need one, to give them your address. They will ship you one folded in a bubble mailer, not a box, to be prepared.
You might not even get it alive. Weird word. But the weird thing here is they're not requesting proof of purchase from anybody. Gee, three slipcovers everybody order. We are archives gonna go bankrupt from sending freeselip covers to everybody. Like million people requested these. We sold eighteen of them.
It's like this is like the Oppenheimer Oppenheimer of the Vault. That sounds like so well.
Uh, Reggie wanted to request that Timothy shall May plays Gilligan in your version of the film.
Oh yeah, I was always already thinking Willem Dafoe for the Skipper. I'm gonna give this some grit. Oh man, I'll I'll cast Idris Elba as the professor to make the Internet like lose its fucking mind.
All right, let's go to the next one coming soon on Blu Ray from Keena lober Is Malfeasance four films by Ives Bois. We Got Angels Leap from nineteen seventy one, Mad Enough to Kill from nineteen seventy five, The Woman Caught from nineteen eighty and Rise Up Spy from nineteen eighty two. Do you know anything about these French films?
I do not. I'm sorry. I was still laughing, and then I saw Sidney Sweety as Ginger and was like, yeah, actually that's tracks. No, I don't know any of these, oh man, But that's why I love collections like this.
Yeah, thanks to Keno.
Nice.
Next up, they are doing a four K of Throw Mama from the Train from nineteen eighty seven. This one directed by Danny DeVito, starring Danny DeVito, Billy Crystal, Anne Ramsey, Kate mulgrew, and Rob Reiner.
Shout out to Anne Ramsey rest in peace. Yeah, just passed away last week.
I love Danny DeVito. I love so much that he just went to the season premiere, the seventeenth season of It's Always On in Philadelphia red carpet event and he was wearing crucks.
You know.
I have to teach the I think I've talked about this before, but I have to teach this history of television course sometimes, and so I always make people watch an episode of Ozzie and Harriet when we're talking about the beginnings of the sitcom in the fifties and like the sort of suburban locale and the form of the sitcom being developed, and after they like managed to grit
their teeth through the excruciating experience as jen alphas. Watching Ozzy and Harriet, I point out that it's until recently, it was the longest running live action sitcom of all time, until it was beaten by and then I see, if anybody can guess, was always sunny in Philadelphia, which I think is such an appropriate seventeen seasons. Yeah, not as many episodes though, No, not even close. So it's an asterisk. I'm afraid.
What's up, Cubic lover.
You want to know something funny? No, I've never seen throw Mama from the Train.
You know I have not either, And I yeah, I forgot that Danny DeVito directed this. I probably would have checked it out earlier if I remembered that.
I gotta be honest with you, No, shade to the La Clippers. But I just don't think Billy Crystal's funny. I've never been able to get into.
Him, not even with your Harry's and Sally's. Oh my god, yeah, it looks like a city slicker.
You don't like that one, Sally, Come here, babe, let me talk to you for a minute.
You don't you don't like the quest for Curly's gold or keeping your mic unmuted. The music you just wave.
I clicked it and then had a flourish no. Not. I just I'm not saying that he's not funny. I'm just saying he's not for me. You know, he doesn't. I don't. I don't get the Billy Crystal thing.
I think your your first sentence was Billy Crystal is not funny.
Yeah, I just don't think he's funny the whole, the whole you look marvelous thing. I don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah, I'm a Harry huh. Yeah, you're harrier than me.
Hey uh. Let's talk about how Umbrella Entertainment has the audacity to release Dogma on four k uh, coming out later this year in Australia. The Van Smith movie is gonna be it will be getting US release. It will not be from Umbrella. There is quite a lot of speculation on who that will be, but Umbrella is going to release something. You know, it'll be like the size of a tire and it will be massive that they're putting it out.
So it'll be old Kevin Spacey about Kevin Spacey, Kevin Smith, They're the same to me, No, Lord, I mean I'm not a fan of either one.
Oh God, did you not you're snorting? Did you not like Dogma?
Nah?
Well you're wrong. Yeah, Umbrella's gonna kill it with this release. I cannot wait to see this love this movie. It's gonna be great. Wow, coming on July first, meaning it is already available. Well, go USA is releasing Nine Rings Golden Dagger on a bd R unfortunately, but I know this is a title that people have been waiting on since I got announced, thinking it was not going to get a physical release. This is also known as blocking the horse. And again I know that I say this
probably every other month or so. But we'll go USA just consistently putting out really great films that no other label is giving any love to, and not even that I can find in other English speaking countries. Are they getting physical releases? So we'll go really doing a big service with a lot of these titles. This one sounds like a lot of fun. Wish it wasn't a BDR, but they are kind of turning towards that more and more because I bet they're just not selling as many.
I'm really bad about names. I'm sorry.
Is that the Kevin Spacey thing?
Kevin Smith?
I don't.
I'm not familiar with Irine Goldeneggar, although I share your feelings about well Go.
They are great screen band pictures over in the UK or Screen Entertainment they are putting out Take an Easy Ride from nineteen seventy six. There is not anything new that I could see on this, but nice to see this in print. You can pre order this now. Anything on this one, Sir.
Well, sounds like an invitation. I'm into it. Oh wow, what kind of Deaf Crocodile. Oh I know exactly what movie Deaf Crocodile should put out if they want to put out a great martial arts movie. You're hearing it here first. This is an exclusive request to Deaf Crocodile.
For the record, If this is correct, will does not know anything.
Stepped on the announcement. But are you guys familiar with Norwegian Ninja? No? Yeah, available on DVD only currently, as far as I know, would be the perfect deaf crocodile martial arts movie.
I guarantee Craig is furiously googling right now.
Please do it. And it's it's not I mean it's there's comedy, but a lot more like dramatic gravitas than you would think.
Interesting is it? Is it actually Norwegian? Or is it from somewhere else? Is a Norwegian Ninja? By the way, I hope nobody can hear that there are my myrxis do you have a camera on me? I hope people can't hear that. My neighborhood is incessant about fireworks and it is like NonStop right now, and it sounds like it's right out the window by me. And I feel very, very insecure that you guys are just hearing popping sounds as I speak.
I did around this time of year. I always like to watch compilations of fireworks gone wrong, you know, people knocking shit over and blowing their garages up.
And yeah, we've done that. I probably shouldn't admit this on camera, but hell, why not. A friend of mine and we used to His dad was a metal worker and so he had access to oxygen and acettlene tanks, and so we used to make really small oxy acetylene. You would call them bombs, but they're not bombs. They're just light explosives. And there was one time we put a garbage bag inside of the body of a guitar and filled it with oxygen in the sedlene and blew
it up. But before we blew it up, I hid behind a car because we were in the desert and I wasn't wearing proper anything. So I stood behind the car and I was wearing flip flops and part of the guitar flew under the car and ripped the top of my foot up. Dumbest injury ever. Yeah, nice, what's this email about? I am under what's that? Anyways? I was kidding about what I just said. Let's go to
the next one. Nine Queens is getting a blu ray release over in the UK from Kurzone coming on August eleventh.
AKA how many people saw Meghan two.
This sett in Buenos Iris over the course of twenty four hours. Nine Queens is a top highly seductive heist thriller in which nothing is as it seems and where no one can be trusted. And I have young con artist teams up with an enigmatic experience master criminal for what could be the crime to end all crimes. This gets a behind the scenes FEATURETTE TV spot theatrical trailer. It's a Spanish film and I have heard this is great.
I think Megan too heard me.
Did that doll just move in the background?
Man? Let me tell you, I grew up with the stargase. I've had some nightmares in my life.
Let me tell you, I bet uh yeah. This looks like a solid release. I need to check this out.
I saw thumbs down in the in the chat, but I'm not familiar with that, so I don't know.
Some thumb's down I did. He actually said I would give a very big thumbs up to nine queens.
Well that's not what I saw. You should try reading. You should try talking about Brenda Lee.
All right, let's go to the next one, September fifth, on Blu Ray in the US from Mercury Studios, we get Brenda Lee rocking around the story behind the iconic singer. This is a brand new documentary that has been compiled. Brenda Lee is the one that got famous doing rocking around the Christmas Tree. Lots of cool stuff coming on here. I am loving that we're getting more and more of these music documentaries lately. Have you been checking any of those out, Will?
Oh? Yeah, No, I don't know. Nope, I don't know. I don't know what you're talking what ones?
I mean, there's all kinds of Well, first off, we've talked about a bunch of them on the partner labels, but like Mercury Studios, and then oh gosh, I never remember the name of the other company that does it because they don't do them all that often, but they've done like three or four of last year. They'll do like live concerts, and then they'll do the next one will be like a short music doc and it's nice. I just don't remember the company. I'm sorry, all right.
That was Branda Lee. Next up is Cult Epics here in the US September sixteenth, they are giving us a blu ray of Dakota from nineteen seventy four. I feel like this is a Will movie. Have you seen this one? No?
But it does look interesting. Why do you feel like it's a will movie.
It's Dutch.
Not I know.
I just want to see your reaction to me saying that, No, it's just it's European and from the era that you've seen a lot of films from.
So yeah, I feel like.
It's the last film by Vim Verstappen, who also did Pastoral nineteen forty three. New two K restoration of the movie, new audio commentary by Peter Verstratten. There's a Dakota Press Flight can Film Festival nineteen seventy eight. Photo galleries from trailers, new artwork, and uh yeah, I mean, I bet it's pretty decent.
Hard to fight playing with those shoes.
For some reason, I was not expecting a clog follow up to.
Me, you're gonna get an email? Would not be the.
First time, literally all right, August nineteenth that blu Ray the US from Sony The Boys season four. I've not watched any of the Boys, have you.
I've seen it all kind of well, you know, I'm a supernatural guy, and the entire cast of Supernatural Senate plus Eric Kripke, you know, the the premise of the Boys bothers me because it kind of seems like that could have been wrapped up in the pilot. It's a bunch of bumbling like regular dudes, constantly in positions where any of the meta humans could just kill them, and somehow they don't. For four seasons in counting plus a spinoff.
Oh boy, And yet it's entertaining. You know, It's like, uh, it makes me wish that Supernatural had been able to be on a stream streaming service like this with no network censorship or like the constraints of an episodic like standalone episodic structures. I don't know, Like when season five comes out, I'm gonna watch it. I'm kind of invested in whatever the hell story they're trying to tell.
At this point, I didn't know there was be more. I thought they were done, all right.
No, I think they're I mean they're pretty Uh they're not subtle parallels in references to contemporary issues, shall we say? Look, Carl Urban, I think we can all agree he's a sexy man.
And dread is great. Who dread Carl Urban's dread?
I am the law that dread.
Dread three d Yeah, huh the American the raid Essentially he's not American, No, but it's American. Never mind it's from New Zealand. I think it's an American film.
You're the speaking of American films. I love this guy.
Oh my gosh. August fourth up Blu Ray in the UK, Not America Studio Canal UK is putting out as part of their vintage Classics line two Way stretch from nineteen sixties starring Peter Sellers, Classic American Here, Yeah, anything he can. He is a stretch of an actor. We've got New Peter Sellers Criminally Good feature at New two Way Stretch, Sellers on the Inside, feature at audio commentary by authors and comedy historian Jim Ross and Robert Ross, BTS Stills
Gallery and more. And if that's not enough to sellars you, you also get Heavens Above coming on the same day as part of the same collection, with more Peter Sellers. In this one, New Sellers takes off in Heavens Above. Feature Ate New Heavens Above Q and A with daily Mashes Tom Whitley, Eva Griffith and Benedict Morrison. New Heavens Above The Mask Behind the Mask And I have never seen either of these, and I need to.
I'll tell you my first encounter with Peter Sellers spoiler alert. He's funny. When I was working at the video store back in the day this and you know, this is in the South, so when we hear in northern accents, everybody kind of like looks up right. And it was like the video stoes right across the street from my college. And the college was for rich like prep school New Englanders and New Yorkers who couldn't get into the ivy leagues.
So oh yeah, so and so I hear this, like, what is it Long Island or I don't know the difference, Brooklyn, but like Brooklyn in the nineties, not like now. This guy he looked like that, don't sweeze the charming guy, you know, I'm talking about little commercials or maybe no, no, no, it's the dunkin Donuts guy and not the same guy time to make the donuts. Well, so he's got this.
I guess it's his daughter or whatever. And she's wearing some kind of like outfit that's been sewn together from various like thrift store fines and got like these these awful nineties white people perversions of dreadlocks. You know that kids from prep school come to college and be like, I'm gonna be a weed dealer, I like Bob Marley, you know, and they'll give themselves fucking dreat locks or whatever.
And anyway, I guess she was trying to rent some movie and her dad is like, you think that's comedy, let me show you something. Pink Panther, Peter Sellers, that's comedy. And I I had never heard of Peters Sellers at that time, so I read The Pink Panther and that shit is so funny.
I have never heard you do in nineteen ninety seven, Brooklyn, and that was amazing.
It was the best movie. I love the Pink Panther movies. Yes, it is true that the Sellers did a lot of yellow face, and I gotta admit, I h the party is good. It's it's really it's really hard to it's really hard to deal with the party where he plays an Indian, but it's really funny. These his British comedies, hopefully will be a little less problematic to watch.
Probably not. Next up, we got two titles.
From this so long.
We're not even the Vinegars, We're not.
Even a shout factory, William.
Luckily they've pulled the switch through on you.
Yes they did we'll talk about that for sure. Coming in early fall this year, Oscilloscope is releasing on Blu ray and DVD. I tried to practice this beforehand. Let me see if I can get this right. Volcana Zadora. I don't. That's probably not how you say this. It's from twenty twenty four. Great art on this one by Seek and Speak, says Sam Smith. Thanks. Sam's two friends trudge through a Michigan forest with the intention of following
through on a disturbing packed. Once their plan goes shockingly awry, the haunting consequences of their failure can't stay hidden for long. Got some good extras on this, got a commentary, behind the scenes, doc, deleted scenes, a short film, and a trailer. I've actually heard this one's pretty good Acilloscope, just like random people will never see these types of movies, and I'm so glad they're doing this.
Yep. Trying to think about how to make a joke about Leonard Nimoy and Pia Zadora, but I couldn't get anything to come.
Together, never mind mine was going to be bad.
Doctor Spot Conquers the Martians, Doctor Spott, Mister Spock. Doctor Spock is the guy tells you how to raise your baby.
Next one from Osiloscope, also coming this fall on Blu Rain DVD is The Universal Theory from twenty twenty three, the year of nineteen sixty two of Physics Congress and the Alps and Iranian guest. A mysterious pianist, bizarre cloud formation on the sky and a booming mystery I said with a T on the end, not a mysterious penis will Uh the Mountain A quantum mechanic thriller in black and white. There's an audio commentary to trailer on this. Yes, Wow, you know that was what you were going to say.
Well, I wasn't going there.
Well, let's go to Shout Factory, then, so Shout Factory. About three weeks ago over on the Blu ray dot com forums, somebody had asked them a question. They were talking about the upcoming slate, like what are we going to be announcing? You've had some big slates lately, and Shout Factories like, well, September, we're going to be announcing twenty five titles, or the way they said it is like our September releases will be twenty five titles, and it just so happened to be that they were about
to announce September releases. So, of course, the way they wrote it, everybody under the sun went, oh, so you're on the next announcement day going to be announcing twenty five different releases. And people were asking for clarification. They were like, do you mean twenty five films because show Factory has a lot of box sets, And they said, no, twenty five single releases, meaning some of those could be box sets, some of those could be steal books, some
of those could be other things. Twenty five different releases. Well, this Monday came, they announced several titles and they did not announce twenty five of anything, and people are pissed off. And they came out and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we said in September we're announcing twenty five releases, and that's not what they said. It was vague on purpose, and they had like three full weeks to correct what everybody was clearly stating, like, hey, we're about to get twenty
five announcements. Let's discuss it. And they never piped in and said anything. They were just kind of letting it go on. So a lot of people felt kind of bait and switched, which I did mention last week. Hey, we're gonna have twenty five titles from shout Factory, so I was also bait and switched.
I want to know how many of those people who are mad about the bait and switch wrote to their congressman.
Well, as far as I'm aware, Jeremy is not on the blu ray dot com forms, because he may have when Jeremy never listens to this, which he actually will probably and then send me a message and say I did listen, and the congressman says, hi, So let's talk about these because these are just Yeah, this is not a great slate, but let's get into it. September sixteenth, an Amazon exclusive four K steelebook of the most released film ever that's not scientifically verifiable, that's probably wrong, but
Halloween from nineteen seventy eight. This little scene Jim is getting a release. That being said, they are a reservoir fell twenty five titles, beating twenty five art cards. They're putting out Halloween again. And they took a disc out of the set. The standalone four K release of this had three discs. This will only have two, So not really sure why.
But does it still have the little spoke for the third.
One with the side attachment that says gotcha?
Originally a Walmart exclusive.
That's not enough Halloween for you. Halloween two also getting an exclusive four K steal book. These are both Amazon exclusives coming out the same day. Don't love the art style on these and everybody that wants Halloween and Halloween two likely has them, and so they're literally just here to make money off of the Halloween fanatics.
Well, what about new an emerging film fans? What about Gen Alpha?
Gen Alpha is able to access through the standard edition four K release that they already put out.
Psych They don't watch physical.
Some of them do, it's a very low percentage.
They don't watch anything longer than thirty seconds.
Well, let's keep going because I know you want to talk about this one September. Second, they're also releasing Salvador from nineteen eighty six on four K. This is the next of their Oliver Stone films. This is only going to include a four K disc, not a Blu ray. The Blu ray the Blu Ray release was previously released by Sandpipe and that is still in print. So they that's why they can't include a blu ray on here
of the film. There is a blu ray of special features, of course, so we got a new four K restoration from the OCN for the film. We got a audio commentary with Oliver Stone on here, and then lots of new extras. Shockingly new interview with Oliver Stone and James Woods and John Savage and Michael Murphy and John Johnson. Well, new interview from thirty four years ago. I'm just kidding. Yes,
it is a brand new interview. Great new interview with Tony plaina new interview with the costume designer Katherine Morrison, new interview with prosthetic makeup artist Gordon J. Smith. And there's the making of on here, deleted scenes, lots of stuff. If you love this movie, this is getting quite a lot of supplements.
The Revolution will be in four K, apparently.
In four K with James Woods.
An actor is a tool.
Moving right along another.
You know, it's always disappointing to find out that an actor that you like some of their performances turns out to be a dick. But like most people turn out to be dick's, so I don't care. I'm not gonna you know, talk to him, I'm just gonna watch the movie, and.
The new interview would say, man, he looks like a good person. Next up, September ninth, they're re releasing another film in a steel book, and I am shocked about it, and my shocked face kind of looks like the front of this steel book. There is a four K steel book coming of Ouigi on September ninth. This is a wide release, not an exclusive. And wija auija wijabord.
Did they include the Morrissey song in there? Like? Whoever made that movie? If I've never seen it? But if weija board wijabord by Morrissey is not the title track? Speaking on problematic Problematic Entertainers is not the title track. I am immediately against it.
I don't think it is. But I'm also should say I'm really excited about that other thing that we're about to work out on the title track that we're using. The what the never mind the next.
Vision, the thing about the the women, the animal thing that the animals. Yeah, oh my god, you guys wait here.
We'll talk about that later. Next up, their next title in their Hong Kong Classics line has been revealed, and that is Peaking Opera Blues coming on four K Blu ray double dual format on September twenty third, and thankfully they are giving a lot of love to these Hong Kong titles as we talked about before. So new four K scan from the OCN. There's a new new newly translated subs, new commentary with James Mudge. There is new
an Opus for Peaking Starring in a Sweet Classic. An interview with the actor Mark Chang, new interview with cinematographer Ray Wong, New Inside Peaking Opera Blues with the author Grady Hendricks, new interview with David West on the cinema of the director. There is a new featurette Professor Lars Lahmann on the setting and time of a Sweetheart Masterpiece, plus some archival extras like there's a lot on this disc thankfully cool.
I'm into that.
Yeah, this is one I cannot wait to buy from Aero Video when they release it next up September thirtieth, we are getting a four K of Mama from twenty thirteen from Shout Factory. This is the Jessica Chastain film. You can get a poster with this one if you really want it. And thankfully they've got some new stuff
on here. We've got a new interview with the producer j Miles Dale, new interview with the DP Antonio Riestra, new interview with the costume designer Lewis Kara, new interview with the production designer Anastasium Masar, and original short with the introduction by Gamo del Toro that was released previously, but it's still here, which is great, awesome.
Have you seen.
It's?
All? Right? Yeah, it's it's like you'd probably give it like two point four stars, but it's like a solid three star.
I don't know how to rate movies. I really don't. It's like grading essays like or you know, like I always look at Pitchfork reviews, not always, occasionally I look at a Pitchfork review. I'm like, how did you get an eight point three? What's your methodology? You know? I love that.
Jason ELISAs say what you will about Chef Factory, but we all love the Asian stuff they release and literally like within fingertips reach of Shaw Brothers from.
Yeah, man, like if they want to trickle out the twenty five releases, I'm a with it. And that you know, obviously like if it was if it was a zero sum game, right, I would be pissed that yet another Halloween additions coming out, and like where's my you know, Merchants of Death. But it's not a zero as some game. And Halloween sells every time, you know, So if you got the rights to Halloween, you're gonna be able to subsidize other stuff. So I don't hate it.
Yeah, I agree. And supposedly they're not trickling out the twenty five releases. It's still supposedly going to be twenty five titles announced in September, so we'll see. And then they also said they may have thirty titles being announced.
In December, released in September.
Are announced announced it in September, which means they would come out around.
Why is everybody meant that they weren't announced in.
July because they said the way that they worded it, everybody was hyped up for Monday and so a lot more people were waiting for the announcements than normal.
But they just said they were going to have twenty five releases in September. They didn't say when they would announce.
Them, right, And the way they meant it was they were announcing in September, not coming out in September.
Oh, they're not even coming out in September. Well, now I'm.
Maybe it won't be out till like January.
Oh that's some bullshit. Yeah, I'm writing to somebody.
Jeremy's congressman. Next for Shout Factory September ninth, they're working with g Kids on The Girl Who Left Through Time from two thousand and six. This is the anime version of the old Obiyashi film that came out, which I believe was an adaptation of a manga if I remember the way that worked. Maybe not, so this is like an adaptation of an adaptation.
It's literally leaping through time and changing form.
No new extras on this, but glad this is coming out. I've heard and you have yet to see confirmation that this is supposed to be getting a four K steal book around the same time. That's on Amazon, So if you're super into this movie, check that out first. This is the movie that got like all of the blows on Monday when Shout Factory announcer stuff. People were pissed and they were like, you promised us twenty five titles and all we got was this next one, My Life
is a zucchini. Yeah, supposedly. It's amazing, and I believe this is available on Criterion release because this was written by Selene Siama, who did Portrait of Lady on Fire. So I believe on Portrait of Lady on Fire from Criterion this is a bonus feature, so you can still get this from Criterion. Yeah, oh, then I.
Must have it looks like my chemical my chemical claim or my clamation romance.
That was a good try. I apologize it's on Petite Maman, not on a Portrait of Lady on Fire.
Well thanks for the correction. Now I'll know where to go.
And screwed that up, of course. So yeah, that's My life is a zucchini.
I like zucchino, man. I'll put that in anything.
It's a weird shaped item to say that sentence going to the next thing. October fourteenth MVD is part of their MVD Marquee collection. They are releasing Nick Nolty's wo Woods, Nut Woods, Weeds. We just talked about James and I was confused. Weeds from nineteen to eighty seven. I was shocked with how many people had seen this movie.
And uh, you know, look at that man, the ravages of time and poor choices. I'm feeling you.
Buddy, emphasis on the second part. So, yeah, this has Ernie Hudson, Joe Montagna, William Forsyth and Amsey.
What a cast. We're having an am Ramsey double feature today. That's awesome.
Am Ramsey suns that didn't work. Twenty five director approved two k HD scan and restoration. We got a new interview with the director John Hancock, and a limited slipcover in the first pressing of the film.
Well that's a slipcover. I'll put that on display.
Uh yeah, I don't know if that's the final design of the slipcover, but.
If if it's not, they need to stop. This is it.
I just went to look at the comments. Ronnie says, I'm sorry, but Mary Louise Parker looks terrible.
You know what, if you squint, that is Mary Louise Parker. Nice one, Ronnie, Oh that was great. And then Chris said Weeds the Classic Show with Mary Louise Parker and Elizabeth Ferkins. Uh.
Ben says, thought they were doing four k's of his stuff. I don't think you're talking about that title. Yes, we all got your joke. I just did not see it, Ronnie, I'm sorry. Next up, hey, Criterion said, Hey, our Janus contemporary titles are not selling, well, let's rebrand too, Criterion. I'm assuming that's why they're doing this. They're rebranding to Criterion Premieres, which honestly way better title. Use the Criterion branding there, that's smart. But they're putting out as their
first Criterion Premiers title, Misericordia from twenty twenty four. This sounds pretty good, and they're going to be exactly the same as the Janis Contemporary, same price. Blu ray and DVD usually will be on sale for fifteen bucks. They do, I mean, Criterions do very well for library sir, and they need DVD.
Oh well, I can't. Don't give me st.
Let me blow your mind a little bit. They just released a Nora on DVD through Criterion.
Yeah, but the problem is that libraries are so under resourced that they can't upgrade as they should. You know what, I will not name the institution, but they allowed a graduate student whose name given or chosen I don't know, was Phoenix to order whatever discs they thought appropriate, not to ask the faculty, the teachers, the experts, because who gives a shit about experts and anymore. You know, you spend your life learning something, what does it matter nothing?
Phoenix orders them, so you know we have the worst selection.
I'm so confused where this is going.
I'm talking about the library at my University of Higher education. It's just DVDs, you know. I'm just I'm not saying there's anything wrong with DVDs. I'm just saying that when that's what's all that's available, I'm just saying that libraries should be properly resourced to stay on top of the format.
Amen to that, I fully agree.
I'll go check out my audiobook on fourteen CD edition. Oh hold, here we go, day one.
Here's the title that will blow you away. August twenty sixth four K steel book in the US from Universal of Twister and Twisters. Yes, double feature four K s deal book of both films. The big thing here that if you are into these films, the original Twister in the US did not get Dolby vision the first time, and now it will have Dolby Vision. So if you want the extra version, this appears to be the way
to go. I believe it had Dolby vision. On the UK release, but not the US release when it originally came out. So yeah, thank goodness. Finally, I gotta be honest. The first film is incredible. The second film it's the exact same film. It's not bad, it's just the exact same movie. Next up, four K release of Aaron Brockovich Steven Soderberg's Aaron Brockvic coming on August twenty sixth. This will have double vision and HGR ten and some extras
on here. One hundred years of Universal Academy Award winners, and this is a real life look at the real life experiences of the original Aaron, not the original, the real Aaron Brockvich. There's a making up on here. Will how do you feel about Soderberg and Aaron Brockovich.
Well, you know, Aaron Brockovich is such an important story in the history of environmental activism, and I applaud the ever experimental Steven Soderberg for telling the entire film through the point of view of the baby.
I will say I love Aaron Brockovich primarily because I was raised in a town that was about ten minutes away from where this actually happened, So this is like a hometown story for me.
Yes, you know it's not worries about water poisoning. You know how tough it is for the single ladies out there.
No, in all reality, I actually really like this movie. I think it's incredibly acted. Julia Roberts absolutely deserved her Oscar. Yes, other people that you're probably deserved it more, but hey, she deserved it.
Just to be clear, that was a presence joke. Yes, yes, it was which thing in Landon?
Probably not because the same seven people that saw Megan two point oh saw Presence.
Well, I'd like to be in on that cocktail party.
Well, as they said in the Megan two point oh trailer, hold on to your vaginas. Really weird line to use in a trailer. Also crazy that Steven Soderberg, who has now retired twice, released two films this.
Year, especially because I saw it in a preview for Ellie. Wait, what's the Pixar movie called?
Elli?
Oh? Whatever?
You were close?
I tried to. I tried to, like slur my speech which would not be out of character, so that you couldn't tell I didn't know what what movie I was.
Anyway, I got it. Ellie de la Cruz is what you were.
Quite fine, move on, okay, fine.
Fun August twelfth, four K Relee steel Book and standard version of the comedic masterpiece The Forty year Old Virgin. This is going to have a twentieth anniversary discussion, so we're actually getting new extras for forty year Old Virgin.
Well, the six year Old Virgin.
It's just, it's.
Just it's kind of like, well, forget about it.
Seth Rogan, go listen. We've been having this conversation. We know you're gay. It's okay. Joe Apptow joined Steve Karel, Katherine Keener, Jane Lynch, Kat Dinnings, and Jerry Bednab for a lively discussion at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and then a bunch of archival extras. I think this steel book looks god awful. Thank goodness, they're releasing a standard four K with the original poster.
Yeah, because that's that's really the thing about the forty year Old Virgion, the iconic poster.
It is pretty I conic and actually tells the story.
In one Yeah, yeah, sure does. I'm let me know immediately. I didn't want to see it.
I'm just sad that this did not come with the bag of sand.
I did eventually see it. That's been seen by me.
All right, let's keep going then, all right, So I skipped a namage this moment ago and it's because of this. The Cloud Door. They are a brand new boutique, Blu Ray label that we talked about early this year, but they finally just now this week on July first launched their kickstarter over in the UK. They are ran by a couple of gentlemen that are working real hard to make this reality and this is going to be a lot. The film that they're releasing is their first release, is
omdar Bidar from nineteen eighty eight. It is parallel cinema, some surrealist Indian cinema, and it is one that has not had a great release and the directors on board. They're after kind of a lot of money for their first really because they have nothing set up and they are working to get channels going to be able to release more films, but it's going to be quite difficult. So if you've got it in yourself to donate to something,
this would be a really great cause. And if you want to know more about it, I posted an interview with both of these gentlemen this week to get some people on their side. Went up the day before this kickstarter was launched, and it's a hell of a conversation. Both of these guys are genuinely uniquely qualified to get
this off the ground. They both come from really different backgrounds, one of them very deep in the film world, one of them a businessman and day to day life, and so they are gonna do great if they can make the money. But the kickstarter is quite ambitious, I will admit that, and I will say too, if you go in the hope of paying for a Blu Ray to donate, just the cost of one Blu Ray is gonna feel
quite expensive in US dollars. It's something like fifty bucks and it's literally a slipcover and a Blu ray case and a Scanova case. So nothing nothing like huge or deluxe or anything like that. But you're literally helping them get off the ground. And so, uh, you don't have to buy one if you're not into it, you could just don't eate a few bucks either way. I have not seen the film, Will I'm sure you've probably not seen them Darby dar.
No, but based on this picture of them, I'd be happy to check out their ed M album as well.
We're just two guys from Milwaukee that really fell in love with this music.
Made no no, I'll.
Kid, I mean obviously ill, but seriously like that's a good album cover.
Yeah, check it out. They deserve the support absolutely Full Moon, Full Moon, which reminder, if you want to go buy from their current sale, put in coupon code connected. They are putting out.
Can you turn out the lights and shot it close in the dark?
No?
No, Well.
I don't have a remote like you. I'm sorry.
Cool, this is my my dad just put this in you can. Oh that's the thing.
The face staring at it not working was perfect.
Yeah yeah yeah, oh well Tony todd Man rest in peace.
Uh yeah. Cutters a club from Technically they're calling it twenty twenty five because they just finished making this movie. This was essentially a lost film that was put together years ago. This is a gory, sci fi feel horror thriller from Charles Band was slick thirty five millimeters cinematography by the late great mac Alberg that sees a pair of young student doctors getting involved in a secret society
of surgery fetishists and monster makers. Called The Cutter's Club, overseen by the Maddest doctor ever, and we've got Tony Todd in this one. Technically I think this might end up being his final credit.
At this point.
You got an interview with Charles Band, with Melissa Hearing, with Davey Youngblood and then an official trailer.
So it's like JG. Ballard and David Cronenberg's Crash, but without the intellectual or artistic theft. Yes, literally, I'm into it. Are we ready for some via shake out the silliness? It's time to get real?
Yes, the Rage Carry Too, it is time to get real. So all of these are Vinegar Syndrome and OCN titles that are all going to be available this month, shipping in the month of July. First up, a four K release of The Rage Carrie Too from nineteen ninety nine, previously released by Screen Factory, with the exact same extras as you get in this package from Vinegar Syndrome. There's nothing new here, and for everybody that was upset, which I completely get, it would have been nice to get
some new stuff here. They were not able to get anything new because MGM literally said you were not allowed to and Chris is asking why. That's why.
Sorry, interesting the intrigue, which is appropriate for a movie about high school girls, you know, like all the behind the scenes shit, you know, mystery and Nat. Yeah, you can't have my interview because I did that interview. Yeah that's Cat Shay right, she directed it. I think I saw that in the VHS days and I kind of it was funny because I forgot to talk about this and the just watch so we can talk about more next time. But I just watched both mini series of
The Stand. I talk about watching both of them. No, it's a bunch of my life. So we'll talk about those next time. But you know, I'm not a big Stephen King reader, but because of my commute, I've started doing audio books and I've found Stephen King is good for that because like I can space out and then space back in and I haven't really missed anything. It's like King, right. So I started listening to Carrie, which the Stand was forty six hours and the carry is
Carrie is like eight. I'm gonna finish Carrie pretty soon, and then I want to watch like all the different carrys because that's that's how I am.
So and it's just named after your hometown, all right, yeah.
Spelled differently. It's not my hometown, but it's where I lived.
That's where your home is.
Yeah yeah, but uh, I don't think anybody was born there. It's uh, oh my god. It's the worst with all the developments. But anyway, my point is I'm ready to seek the Rage Carry two for the first time since VHS. So I won't know the difference between the releases. It's just gonna come in the mail and I'm gonna check it out.
Well, speaking of checking them out, let's see what's in the cards. Next up is the card Player from Vinegar Syndrome four K. Dario Argento title, as I predicted last week, was likely going to be the card Player. Now, I did not post like all the hints for what's coming up later this year. We can go through them in just a moment when when we go through the rest of the Vinegar Syndrome mainline titles. But one of the big things that they're hinting at is we're getting another
Argento four K leader this year. And I don't know this for sure, but I will just say historically, there are certain licenses of things that come together, like certain titles are always grouped together. We've seen that with Vinegar Syndrome getting some stuff that was released by Screen Factory before, and both those same titles have been released as well. The Card Player seems to always be grouped with Sleepless.
I would be willing to bet that later this year we are getting Sleepless in four K.
Well, let me say, first of all, Sleepless is far superior to The Card Player, the biggest if I can invoke the ghost of mor McDonald for a moment. Sure you know the problem with the card Player, not enough cards the card Plan. That's not the absolute worst part of the movie. Of the goddamn Card Plan. It's like early Internet Solitaire or some shit. It's the worst. It looks so dumb, But there are some moments in the
movie that are pretty cool. I would definitely rank this like lowest tier our Genta above Dracula three D of course by far, but like in that realm, Sleepless way better. Now. There are two though, and I've been doing I've been doing a good job of willing things into existence, so I want to speak it out loud. There are two Argenta movies still on DVD only, and both of them
are really good. Do you like Hitchcock which was made for TV film, which is excellent, and I think if it gets a good addition, people will put it like up until maybe second even low first tier Urgentle and Jallo with Adam Brody which which was a lot better than I think it's a reputation holds. I want to see how long it takes for somebody to slap me down for saying Adam Brody instead of Adrian anyway, so
I want to say, there we go. Clad image got me, So I'm hoping that those two come out, But I would be totally happy with Sleepless and I'm fine with The car Player coming out on four kid. I think that'll be fun.
So on this, I know a lot of people were upset because it's not like top tier Argento. It was never going to be. Most of those are done already, so this makes a lot of sense. It would be nice to see some of the stuff that's never been an HD release. But I will say I have Loki hated most of the vinegarsentermartwork for like the last I don't know, eighteen months. I love Saspiria Vilchas's work, and I think This is gorgeous. This is an absolutely amazing slipcover.
Well to your point, Jason Ellis asks about Inferno. Blue Underground put that on Blu Ray. They did it, but Inferno still needs the upgrade. So I don't know who has the license, but I'd certainly be happy with a Blue Underround always knocks it out of the part with their four K upgrades. But if it goes to somebody else, Severn or Vinegar Syndrome, an Inferno upgrade would be very exciting.
So the rumor has been for years that Disney holds the rights to Inferno. Now what the fact, I don't think that is accurate from a couple people that I've talked to. I don't believe they have physical media rights. I think they have theatrical rights in the US, but that is neat. I think the hold up now is actually elements on the four K, So I'm not sure if they're either not great or they're lost, which unfortunately is for a lot of ocen's going to be where
they end up. Just we're not able to do anything with it.
Don't say those horrible things anyways, you know, and maybe Vinegar Syndrome can upgrade Trauma at some point I Mother of Tears Sidner, Mother of Tears did get a Blu ray a bare.
Bow overseas, was it? Yeah? Not in the US?
Well, yes, I suppose it does. I would. I would. I would rank Mother of Tears like with card Player, I think, still still better than Dracula three D.
You're talking about upgrading Trauma. I do want to point out for anybody that's ever considered joining the Patreon to come in the discord, Justin lit Liberty from Vinegar Syndrome is one of like four or five label insiders that are in there, and he answers questions all the times.
One discussion was on this specifically, and Justin wanted to point out that he's really happy that VS is not putting out upgrades of their own title, so they're not They're probably not going to go out and do a four K of Trauma from Argento because it's not something they are really wanting to do. They have, you know, they've upgraded mad Man and one other I think, but even then they weren't a part of the subscription, so
they wouldn't they wouldn't be mainline VS titles. They would be something different like Mad Man was an optional title that was released during the Valentine's Day sale as an upgrade, So it's probably not going to happen like that, especially if I think since they started doing four K, if they've only done two, that's pretty great compared to like Shout Factory, who's upgrading every single title they've ever released.
Stan Ass was the issue with the card player wise and so on Love It really is. The card play it's early Internet Solitaire. It's really just so clunky. And the story itself is, you know, a police procedure. It's a great scene with examining a corpse that's been pulled out of out of the water. I mean, there's lots of good stuff. The climax is pretty good then a card player, but the card play in is just terrible. Yeah.
New extras on this we get a new interview with the actress Stefania Racca, new interview with Claudio Simonetti, new interview with makeup artist Sergio Steveletti, new interview with the editor Walter Fasano, and then all kinds of archival extras, including the commentary getting poured it over from the other release as well. Okay, the last title in the VS mainline.
Being released this week is Youngery Monster from the Deep from nineteen sixty seven, continuing their trend of the last three years in a row now putting out a big monster movie in July. And this is one that was released previously by Kino I believe, and this one was also a Mystery Science Theater three thousand episode years and years ago, coming in a hard box release and a slipcover on the inside. Four KUHD scanned and presented with Dolby Vision. We got a commentary with Sam Degan on here.
Commentary with Steve Rifle and Kim Song Ho. The original Korean cut of Yonguri Will have newly translated English subtitles sourced from tape and courtesy of the Korean Film Archive. That is forty eight minutes. There's some archival extras on here, and we've got some featurettes and video introduction and all of that stuff. Anatomy poster by the renowned kaiju artist Matt Frank is going to be a part of this, just like they've done in the past. Huge release. Have you seen yongre Will.
Yes, I had a DVD of it, and I've seen the Mystery Science Theater episode. So this is going to be fantastic, and of course I always like to hear Sam Diagan talking about Kaiju and really anything else. But yeah, that's gonna be great.
So this is the third and final of the Vinegar Sentrum mainline titles that were announced this week, and so now to highlight what is coming the rest of the year. August three releases, We've got Sergeant Kabuki Man NYPD on four K. It will also have well it's the four K of the Director's cut. It will also have the PG thirteen version of the film. Four K double feature of Larry Fessenden Films Crazy late eighties horror movie on
Blu Ray. September an Italian horror collection that's a three Blu ray disc set, another Larry festened In horror double feature on four K, and then a beloved early nineties body horror four K. October will be a four K debut and uncut premiere of The Man Who Could Cheat
Death on four K and Blu Ray. Four K debut of seventies horror classic with an exclusive new restoration from never before Scan Negative that will be on four K and Blue, and then the Dario Argento Giallo four K and Blu Ray, which is the other reason it's pointing towards Sleepless and then a Trauma classic on four K and Blu Ray. November, we'll have a three film horror collection on Blu Ray four K debut of a crazy euro horror and then two secret horror releases, both four
K debuts. So all of this, there's a couple things that I want to note. When you've got two Larry Festenden double features, I have a feeling and is it within reach? Yes it is, Sibner is gonna laugh. This is a Larry Festenden collection that was released previously by Shout. This has no telling when to go Habit and the Last Winter. Now, what did I just say a minute ago? A lot of films tend to have rights where they
are grouped together. This is for Larry Festenden films. Now, they're all good, but I'm willing to bet that it's these four films that are coming out on four K. And I love that they're getting four K releases. I don't necessarily love that they're these four. Larry has more films that have never been released on Blu Ray and could use some love He's an incredible director. Me and Zach Bryant did a episode of this show on him earlier this year. Love his stuff. Sergeant Kabuki Man really cool,
it's happening. There was also just a Blu ray that released in the UK Man Who Could Cheat Death. I'm glad that's coming out. We already talked about Urgento. Any of those other hints that you want to say anything about there.
Sir, I'm not good with hints.
Well. The main thing that I get from the hints is when they're highlighting the words UHD debut and exclusive New Restoration. That's telling me that these have already been released on Blu Ray, and the one that says exclusive New Restoration is probably already even on four K from some other label. That to me isn't super exciting, and that's what I want to point out. Like this week,
Vinegar Syndrome's announcements not been super exciting for me. These are all films that have fairly recent releases from other labels, and I'm glad that people have a chance to pick them up. They should be in print. I'm not against that at all, but I'm much more excited by Vinegar Center putting out stuff that's not just upgrades to shout factory titles.
Basically, we don't upgrade our titles, we upgrade other people's titles.
Yeah, that's kind of what it feels like.
I was excited about four K because in general, because it meant that i'd be done, right, Like, anytime I upgraded a film to four K, I'd be done. But now it's competing restorations and which restoration is the best, and who went to this encoding factory and who went to that one.
Well, and some of those like the encoding is better on the UK release, but the audio is correct on the US release, or they have exclusive commentary or whatever, and it's really hard to make a decision.
Sometimes. This is why people get into polyamory.
It's true all the way.
It doesn't work either. You know, you think, well, this person's good at this thing and this person's good at that thing, so I'll have sex with both of them.
That's why will practice is non ethical.
Not monogamy.
Are we ready for the next one, then?
Yeah, David Becker deserves a highlight if I haven't got one. Hanso The Razors School of the Holy Beast, Hilarry Buchanan. Yes.
Well, that being said, Severn sale is about to be quite large. It's quite impressive what they have coming the rest of this year, and people are gonna be happy with Severn, just saying keep an eye there. The next title from Vinegar Syndrome, which is coming through their distrid Picks lines, so this is not part of their main line, is Satan's Bed and Scare their pants Off from nineteen sixty five nineteen sixty eight double feature of Something Weird
Stuff starring starring nobody. No, I'm just kidding. The big thing is I got a comment from somebody that said I was watching this trailer and I went, yeah, that looks like Yoko Ono. And then I read the description. That's fucking Yoko Ono.
Who are the filmmakers?
Well, I mean, you're obviously excited about it. Why don't you go through it?
Oh tell me, I can't read that stuff. Michael and Roberta Finlay, Michael and ROBERTA Finily, it's a big deal and Yoko Ona together at last, just at last. Just imagine if the Plastic Ono band I had been filmed by the Finlies for us, or the or the Sleep End that Lennon and Ono did as a protest could have been made into a Fendley film, you know, like Ringo coming in and slapping the hell out of them with like ropes of salami.
Just right. So the Yoko Ono ruffy is getting a four K restoration. That's crazy.
This is the most respect she's ever gotten as an artist.
Actually maybe true?
Yeah, uh so.
The point out here says crime, kidnapping, white slavery, ritualistic cults, and other sordid activities were all fodder for the most outlandish ruffies of the sixties. Produced primarily in New York by mix of budding filmmakers and legit crafts people moonlighting in the cdor eras areas of cinema. These trashy tales became the bedrock of what later exploitation features would take
in even more extreme directions. Disterpison Something Weird offer the Blu Ray debut of a notorious pairing of two of the most twisted such efforts, newly restored in four K from their ocens. This is crazy.
Yeah, that was That was an immediate pickup.
I have to check because I thought I grabbed this one and remembering what my receipt looks like, I don't think I did, so I need to make sure that I get it, make it happen all right. Vinegar Syndrome also released two catalog slipcovers for Will's two favorite films, Night Beast and Extra three Watch the Skies.
I like Night Beast, I did. I did resell Extra three.
So it's the over the Shoulder Don Dolar Holder.
Uh, that's a good one.
That was so stupid.
That's your best one of the You might stop there.
I'm embarrassed if that's the best. They're also vs Press is doing a Rambo First Blood Part two and Rambo three novelizations, and if you don't want to buy them on their own, you can also buy a package with both of them and a headband.
Yeah do we get to read this time?
They also put up a ton of merch stuff. They got this rot Sickle shirt, They've got Vinegar Syndrome Thrills and Chills, tote bag, a camp flag that says goat to sleep forever. Film can, glass ornament with a very phallic shape on the side of it. If you want to go, take a look. The hinge that they made looks like a wiener. They I love making you laugh.
They're still like a coin pouch. It says physical media money, and notably that even if you put in dollar coins, you couldn't buy a single vinegar syndrome with the shape that this would take with that in there. The big thing this month is key tags. They have a vinegar syndrome one. They've also got a cinematograph one that they've made, and then one over at Miliu scene we'll talk about they got a cinematograph tote bag that says this tote
contains physical media cinectagraph shirts. And then here's the cinematograph key tag and a cinematograph hot dog sticker. All right, I don't know. I don't know. Let's go through some partner labels. First up, Big World Pictures putting out a Man of Integrity from twenty seventeen. Will you ready go to Ben b Big World Pictures. I don't know why that's not showing. If that's on the post, that's really embarrassing. It could be because I have crappy internet where I
was posting these. Yeah, I don't know anything about this one. Big World Pictures puts out titles I've never heard of, but they're always great.
So watch the trailer and consider it. Yeah, you know I was going to say something similar. Big World has earned my trust, and I love that they pull films from industries that I'm less well versed in, So this is an automatic for me as well.
Good to know, Good to Know. Next up is from The Canalog, an Evening with Rodney Asher. For the record, Before we get too deep into this, this thing is strictly limited and will not get a standard release. So this says from the director of Room two thirty seven, A Glitch in the Matrix and the Nightmare? What drives your obsessions? What are your papistarkis fears? How far would you go to get Doris Wishman to direct a music
video for your band? The Canalog is proud to present an Evening with Rodney Asher, a one of a kind cinematic supercut of original work, found footage, remixes, and music videos that will melt your eye sockets. Strictly limited to one thousand copies, This has additional short films by Rodney Asher, a booklet with a conversation between Asher and Casper Kelly, who is the one behind adult swim Mule log and I gotta be honest This was an immediate must for me.
I always love these sort of mixtape type of releases and this sounds incredible.
Yeah, looks cool.
Next up, the most exciting one for most people, because this sold out pretty much immediately. We've got a brand new partner label and that is Club super eight Club spelled Klubb super eight. They are putting out anita Swedish nim fet with Christina Lindberg from nineteen seventy three. Here is the front and then the censored back of the slipcover.
Club super eight is a Swedish independent research outfit, film archive film club film distribution company dedicated to Swedish exploitation cinema that has been operational for almost twenty five years. They are releasing films on VHS, DVD and Blu ray in that time. Club super eight also owns the Subsidiarycultpics dot com, a global streaming platform focused on vintage, exploitation, genre and cult movies from around the world. And this is pretty damn cool.
So first of all, clubs bell with a K and two b's should be those guys eightm group name Club Club super eight, Yeah, club just club. But also so this they're now doing OCN distribution. Yes, Anita is actually a decent movie. Young, as it says in the description
Young Stellon Scars Guard in there. And of course Christina Lindbergh is a great icon, you know, she's one of those I mean, obviously she's not like Meryl Streep or I guess I should say Ingrid too Lean or something, but like, she has such a cool look, not just as a like sex symbol or whatever, although certainly she's a pin up and all that, but she just has
a really interesting look and her movies. Every time I say every one of the Lindberg's movies that I've seen, I've always been like, well that was that was better than I thought I was going to be, you know, and I like, I have a bootleg DVD of this, so this I ordered this what five minutes after the sale started, and it was already standard edition, so.
Slipcover did not sell out quite that fast, but it was right after that.
Basically, it was the exaggeration for a fact.
Ryan, Well, during how many times I've been corrected by the chat tonight? Thank you everybody.
Well, we can't turn it on each other, can we?
You can shut the hell up at the moment. The standard has gone from the VS site as well. However, I do want to point out that you can buy Swedish nimp Fet on Amazon right now. You can pre order it. What, Yeah, you can pre order this title on Amazon. Seems kind of weird.
How's the well I got to get these Looney Tunes?
That's your order A Loony Tunes Collector's Choice Volume two and Anita Swedish nim Fet. No you already got it from Yes You're good. So this is a two disc set. The first disc is going to have a documentary stell in Sex and Psychotherapy an introduction by Christina Lindberg from
twenty twenty one. Introduction by Christina Lindberg at every Man Rodgate from twenty twenty one, Christina Lindberg career interview from twenty twenty four, an audio commentary with Jason Carter and the owner of Club Super eight, Ricard Gramfers, and then the second disc is let impure It's gonna be the French dubbed completely different to edit of Anita was what.
I just like it when you do accents.
I liked your nineteen ninety seven Brooklyn earlier, so I'm trying that I got a new scan and a dupe from a dupe negative. There's an optional English and Swedish subs on there. And then when the sex Master came to Katrina Holme, Jason Carter's talking about that from twenty twenty four, I Need of the Story of a Bad Film essay by Jason Carter Christina Lindberg centerfolds and articles gallery that spans fifteen years.
Oh sweet dude, this is everybody's like Father's Day gift. That's too late, I guess. Yeah, it's like forty three bucks on Amazon. Yeah, that's the way to go. Yeah. Well, very pleased with this title.
And the standard will be back if it's sold out like it is and you want it, just wait'll it'll come back.
Yeah.
Next title is from Film Movement. I think the next few are from Film Movement. And this is Eureka from twenty twenty three, directed by Lessandro Alonzo starring Vigo Mortenson. We got a visual essay on here by Hunter Whaley called Time is Fiction. Have you seen Eureka? Will?
I have not?
But I'm gone on this. This was another well I can't afford to get it yet, let me be honest, but it's on my list. This is like one of the best things about the subscription for me is that, like when I see some oceans that I can't get right away, I know, I have like eight months to get a discount unless they get announced in December, and let's take it announced in December, which is kind of like,
if I'm a label, I'm like, come on, man. Well actually, if I'm a label, I'm like, no, seriously, I charge more.
But anyway, next BIL Movement title is Nature and Nurture, three films by Naomi Kawasse from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty. This is available for the first time ever a Blu Ray in North America, and these are True Mothers, Radiance, and Still the Water. This is a two disc Blu Ray release. It's got a bonus feature. Juliete Banoche and Naomi Kuwasse discussed True Mothers and that is all that we've got on this one.
Still worth it. I'm getting this for sure.
This is one of the only ones that I immediately wasn't hooked by. So what's great other than Juliete Binoche talk me into this one?
Will well? I mean, I if you hate women that much, I don't know what to say.
I'm just letting that one just hang in the air.
No, I you know, I haven't seen any of these films. I've I'm familiar, like in passing with Naomi Kwassie's name, and I'm just interested in stuff like you know, an anytime there's a a set of movies, I'm like, great, you know I can I can learn a decent price.
So on film movement is pretty damn reliable.
Like you know, balances out Anita and Satan's bed too. Our next one is speaking of balancing things out.
The next film movie title is warm Water under a Bridge. Now they have released this one previously on Blu Ray and when that came, well kind of the regular Blu Ray cover is still pretty close to this. This is a show Hey Ima Murah film, which is really cool. But this is from two thousand and one, and if you were watching this live or on the replay, you can tell what this is about by looking at the cover.
You know, when they invented those those detachable when they invented those detachable shower heads, this was like every suburban mom's evening for years. This is the most consequential invention for in the history is like these detachable spickets.
Well, let's talk about the special features on here. First, Tom Vick has a visual essay call Messy and Juicy. Oh my god, there's a sixteen page booklet with essays by and I'm not kidding Hwang Kynan, and then Jessica Young on here as well. Uh yeah, here we are. I'm so glad that we could talk about this on this live stream.
I mean, this is thanks for This is Fukusaka's final film or not final film?
Yeah, I'm not.
Yeah.
I heard this one immediately because I never got the original Blu Ray.
I got to see it, you know, and we joke and everything. But that's important. It is that's a that's a central part of being. And let me tell you something. If if if those detachable water spigots did something for men, you can bet they would be driving out. They would be driving the economy.
They certainly would be drying the economy. Let's go to our next one. Ghost Light from IFC is the next title. And this one is another one that I was very excited about because I've heard that this movie is incredible. This says when melancholic construction worker Dan finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter. He discovers community and purpose
in a local theater's production of Romeo and Juliet. As the drama on stage starts to mirror his own life, he and his family are forced to confront a personal loss, I says. An audio commentary with the writer and co director Kelley os Sullivan and the co director Alex Thompson deleted an extended scenes cast, audition tapes, and then a booklet with new essay by Mariah E. Gates, who is incredible. Mariah Gates is great. So yeah, this was a must for me as well.
I'm interested. I you know, as an older person, I definitely don't want anything in my life resemble Romeo and Juliet, you know, because I'd be like the parent now when they suck.
See the never mind, I don't want to be depressing. I won't make the joke's going to Let's go to the next one. Canadian International Pictures putting out lasted four days. This is coming on blu ray. Oh yeah, sorry, I'm retired too.
Yeah, we could only wish.
These last couple of weeks have been awful. The heat wave lasted four days from nineteen seventy five with a fiftieth anniversary special edition. This says, while shooting a news report on a Montreal heat wave, TV cameraman Cliff Reynolds unintentionally films Jerry Quazzo, a recently escaped convict hiding from police and his former criminal associates on the heels of
a rogue heroin deal. With the help of Barbara and Gabriella, Jerry schemes to fake his own death while offering large sums of money to Cliff to hand over his film and help deliver the drug with lethal consequences. Oh man, So this is scanning restored in two K from the sixteen millimeter interpositive by the National Film Board of Canada.
There are three different versions of the movie. We got the original TV cut because this was a TV movie sixty six minutes long, the extended cut, which is seventy two minutes long, and then the four episode film Glish version, which is eighty minutes long. There's new commentary on here with the one that would be talking about TV movies, amandareyas. There's an overview of the differences and the three cuts of the films. There's a first fiction film from Jackson,
which is called The Huntsman from nineteen seventy two. Jackson did a TV movie that received four Canadian Film Awards called The Sloan Affair from nineteen seventy two, and that is on here. And then we've got a double sided poster in this thing. There's a press scout like there's a lot Canadian International Pictures just doing all the work on this release. I could not wait to order this.
Where's my skagg ey. I'm coming out here trying to chase the dragon and you're giving me the run around. What goes there? You know you're holding the china white and here I am looking like a dope.
The accents tonight are something else.
I've got half of mind to go talk to your supervisor.
Are you making fun of Canadians again? Because you know somebody's in the show up when you make fun of Canadians.
I'm not making fun of Canadians. I'm making fun of heroin addicts.
I get spunched my microphone because I was laughing. So, oh my gosh, that was a really good and quick line. Holy hell.
You know, before those detachable water spigots, the leading the leading cause of injury and suburban households. Was was women trying to pull themselves up to the fad.
Jesus oh man, that's it.
Hey, let's keep going. Speaking to Larry Festenden earlier Glass Eyed Pressures, Glass Eye Pictures is releasing I Can See You from two thousand and eight on Blu ray Uh. This is region free, newly restored, available in HD for the first time ever. Brand new twenty twenty five commentary with Resnick Peter Fuck and It's not fuck but that's look what it looks like Peter Fuck and moderated by

This has a lot of stuff in this. Yeah, that's good, Sibner. I kind of want to share the picture you just said that was.
Huh that sounds dangerous.
It is kind of dangerous.
Uh so yeah, you know, I always love it when all these extra films are included in the package, so you can really see, uh what the filmmakers have at them, you know.
Yep, I can't quickly share that picture, so I'm not gonna be able to sure can't. Let's keep doing only the river Flows is the next title. This is coming from kimstim films. Who's only been around for a couple months now, This one says. When a woman's body is discovered on the banks of a river near a small town in southern China, it's up to police investigator Maje, working out of an abandoned cinema, to find the kill.
But what at first appears to be an open and shutcase turns out to be the only the first layer of an ever deepening mystery. As Ma's inquiry reveals the hidden life of the rural community based on You Hua's short novel Mistakes by the River Wise bleakly atmospheric tour to Force neonoirs, laced with gallows humor and touches of the surreal. It's grungy, low contrast. Sixteen millimeters Photography A hand in Glove, fit for its nineteen ninety setting, visually entrancing,
a mystifying gem. One of the best films it Can twenty twenty three. It has a trailer an interview with the filmmaker. English subs that's it. But this sounds incredible.
Looks good. But that's a lot of adjectives.
It is it is actives are great.
You know.
About the adjectives great, good, wonderful, intrigued.
That's synonyms. Uh, okay, I'm gonna take a break.
Next up, Utopia putting out Pavements on four K. This is an examination of the iconic nineteen nineties indie band Pavement and yeah, this is four K on this one. This is directed by Alex ross Perry. This is a two disc set.
What's funny, that's just higher quality than anything they ever recorded. Yes, it was like like, this is this is the moment they've truly sold out right. The whole deal was the lo fi aesthetic and now it's four K. It's like, aha, gotcha, I knew you guys were frauds.
Four K and twenty twenty five later. So there's section of this on the band, there's a show, there's a museum portion, and then a portion on the movie. Lots coming on this disc, for sure, this one looks incredible.
You don't even ask. He was like, let's move on.
You are way out of it.
And Pavement, man, that's when that's when the nineties truly went to ship. Everybody's like, you know, yeah, that is when I'll tell you what it wasn't when sky punk went became like MTV fodder.
That was so good.
That was bad, but like Pavement, Oh the worst. Oh, a bunch of people pretending like they can't play, make an intentionally shitty sound of music. You're like, I don't care, I'm whatever your careerist, get out of here.
I love that you're awaken up to rant about Pavement.
Ironically, ironically I love the Silver Juice. But yeah, everybody said Pavement was reuniting. I was like, fuck me, what a nightmare.
I'm cutting you off now. Next title is from Icarus and they're putting out Rent one USA from nineteen eighty nine. This is a road movie with few shots of the open road itself, but it sounds freaking incredible. This is directed by Robert Kramer. This sas Looking for Robert, a documentary by Richard Copon's about Robert Kramer. There's a book with me writing by Erica Balsam. Did you pick this one up? This sounds like a will movie.
I'm interested in it. It's in my little wish list. And let me just say before we continue, if you like Pavement, and when I say you, I mean anybody listening. It's okay, Like I'm not knocking your taste. I'm just saying that I hate pavement and you can love them, and I won't judge you. I would never judge anybody for their taste. But like, if I'm at your house and you put pavement on, I'm gonna have to leave,
and that might be what you want. So now you know how, Now we know the ticket, Now you know how to get me out? All right, Route one Slaugh USA. Now let's go back. I don't want to take away from the filmmakers. Yeah, this looks neat, Okay, she.
Said, Oh that gotta be good. That was really good.
Oh man.
Uh.
The next one is from Cinophobia and they're putting in Self Driver from twenty twenty four, directed by Michael Pierro. This is gonna have a commentary with Michael, the producer Key ra Putz, and the actor Nathaniel Chadwick. Those all sound like fake names, so I gotta be honest. Deleted and alternate scenes, behind the scenes FEATURETTE trailer and that is it for this one. Oh anything about this, I don't know.
I can't decide if I'm interested or not.
I did not watch the trailer for this one. I probably need to.
Now I have to say usually I have time to watch all the trailers before the show, but this week, because I'm here helping my folks, I've been mostly in an area without internet at all.
You had like three days with no internet.
Which, other than like burning the skin on my body to a crisp, was glorious, you know. But so I have to go back. I still have to go back through and watch all the trailers for these O scenes. I don't know. That looks kind of intriguing. Well, hell, the Pavements movie might be good for all I know. I've seen a lot of good documentaries about things I hate, like, you know, a Holocaust. A lot of great documentaries have been made about it.
Next up from Kanyie releasing Sherry from twenty twenty one, or Shahie, I'm not sure how it's pronounced.
One that's going to get me.
Probably this is Region Free. Has a couple different short films on here from twenty nineteen and twenty seventeen interview with a director, and then a featurette called Cherry Winter from twenty twenty five. This again, Kanyie is kind of always an immediate for me, pretty much immediate.
I should have say, Kamara Rouge.
Your jokes are killing fields it tonight, let's keep going shutter putting out Shark Exploitation from twenty twenty three. This is the ultimate deep dive into the world of shark cinema. Filmmaker's critics, scholars and conservationist explore the cultural impact on audience and this Misunderstood Species. Directed by Steven scar Lotta and includes Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Mario Van Peebles, Joe Alves, Adam Rifkin, David Worth, and audio commentary with Steven scar
Lotta and Josh Miller. Extended deleted scenes, new video interview with the film critic Michael Gingold, who does Room Org magazine Shark movie Menia. There's also a booklet with my dear friend mister Sam Cohen. Yeah, Shark'sploitation was a must for me.
I love it when people say that they're misunderstood animals. Now I'm against Fenning and all the horrible things that they do to kill all the sharks and everything, but like to say that they're misunderstood they're killing machines. I watched a video recently on the YouTube where some morons were going shark diving. You know you're getting that little flimsy cage that looks like it's made out of the stuff that that they make the.
You didn't watch it on YouTube that was dangerous animals.
No, no, no, no, no, I mean, yes, yes it was. But this was this was real shark divers and the tour guy didn't like lock it enough or the bars weren't close enough together. Anyway, a shark got through the bars and into the cage with the diver and they're trying to pull his ass out, but the shark's going nuts, right and you can see the guy just like you know, it looked like that. He looked like you know in
Team America World Police. But the signal, the signal he's supposed to give when he's to get me out of here, it looked like that puppet. He was just getting shaken around this fing he show.
Us to get what the shark was doing in the cage, please, it got through the bars with your hand, what was what was it doing in the cage?
Was going like that, thank you, biting the hell out of them, and finally they get him out. This is a fail video, by the way, And uh, I see Brent Madison's done. The shark cage thing and enjoyed it. I God love you, man, I ain't doing it. I ain't doing it.
I could never. I gotta be honest, No way in Hill.
I used to watch The Crocodile Hunter and uh, you know, before they calmed him down for TV, when he was like a late night when he was a crazy guy. It was just like, hey, watch the snake bite me in the face, you know, Kroky.
I really wish that's how he started his videos. Sometimes watch this thing attack me.
That's basically what it was before he got his regular show, and you know the fact that he was killed by I'm still upset about The Crocodile Hunter, but anyw Yeah, no, man, sharks are they look scary? You know what I mean? Like, if something looks scary, that's nature's way of telling you go away. That's why I wear my leather jacket. Let people know. Back off.
Oh my eyes are watering.
Back the fuck off.
I thought it was because you wanted to let them know.
E all right, so many layers. I'm a shark. I'm jumping the shark.
You know, so many layers, undershirt and shirt.
Uh.
Next up from Shutter again is slacks from twenty twenty. And yes, this is a movie about a possessed pair of jeans.
Oh my god, go back to that looks like my first day right there, that first one?
Which one was you come back?
Yeah? Worst worst first date ever. Anyway, I'm gonna have to watch this that's on shutter.
Uh yeah, it's supposed to be pretty good. Uh oh wow, yeah, says an audio commentary with the director, co writer Elsa Keffart, co writer, co producer Patricia Gomez Zlatter, and the co producer and Marie Galinis. Is a book with me writing by Tory Potenza. And uh yeah, this is supposed to be pretty decent.
Just to be clear, that was a period joke. That's really cool. One of that.
Your joke was set in the seventeen hundreds. It was pretty good.
Come on, well, it wouldn't have been a date then I would have had to call upon her. Well, well, the seventeen hundreds. Wait, you said seventeen Entry said seventeen hundreds. Said seventeen hundreds or seventeenth century, because I think he.
Saideen hundreds, I did not say century.
All right, we'll go to the tape tomorrow.
Paul says, I was in year seven at high school, and Steve Irwin died. In that whole day of school. Everyone was sad and quiet. It was kind of wild the impact it had to bring a ready high school to silence all day.
Truly. He was beloved by everyone and like you could hate the crocodile.
All's in Australia, so it's even more okay.
I was wondering what kind of high school I had seven years in it.
I was gonna say I only went for four years.
It's like, okay, Paul, I'm kidding. Yeah, dude, Steve ver was and you know, God love his family. I'm glad they kept the tradition going. It pisses me you of course, everybody, i'm sure is seeing the old Norm MacDonald routine about the crocodile Hunter's death. One of the funniest things, probably the greatest tribute than perhaps Russell Crow's eulogy. But bath that slacks. It looks like a romp.
It looks good. Next one. Next title is from Brainstorm Media and it is Stockholm Bloodbath from twenty twenty three. This is one that sounded good to me. But what's crazy is I've not seen anybody say anything about it, so I don't know if anybody has seen it. This says a ruthless political struggle between Sweden and Denmark turns bloody under the tyranny of the mad King Christian. The second caught up in this deadly war, two sisters seek revenge on the men who brutally murdered their family is
from twenty twenty three. It's got two cuts of the film, the one hundred and eighteen minute US theatrical cut and then the one hundred and fifty minute Swedish director's cut, a new interview with the director and U, Yeah.
This sounds like exactly the kind of thing I'd been too, right something check it out? Yeah. Same.
Next up one that we've been seeing teased for quite some time. This is They Call Her Death by Austin Snell from twenty twenty four. This is being released by Yellow Veil Pictures. Even though technically this is like could have been the next VSP because vinegar syndrome had a hand in the production of this one. We've got a director's commentary with Austin Snell, and then Adam Jeffers is
on there with them. Cast commentary with a few from the cast interviews with the practical effects artist Jake Jackson making of Q and A at Liberty Hall Theater. Two storyboard scenes. Director Austin Snell visits the Vinegar Syndrome Archive and that's on the disc. Behind the scenes the dub Japanese premiere, the trailer, and then a new poster that's also included. And then there's an essay by filmmaker out there, Gregor Lee Lamberson, another one that I've been very intrigued to check out.
They call her death, especially first thing in the morning, Thanks Paul. I appreciate that explanation about the Australian school system I went to. My school was so small that K through seven was in one building and eight through twelve was in the other. And that's here in Blaine County, Virginia. Two hundred and twelve total. This is a public school. Ain't none of these kids get into private schooling to say that, but yeah, so no junior high or anything.
It was just K through seven and then eight through twelve, two buildings. Interesting, so it sounds like it's kind of a similar structure. Anyway, I don't know anything about They call her death, so we're evoking the spaghetti western esthetic. What else do you know about this one?
Molly prays on a bloody crusade against the criminal forces who have wronged her. Her mission strikes at the myth of manifest destiny. But for Molly, with the embodied specter of death on her side, this isn't political. This is personal.
Didn't you just.
I did not read that out the first time.
I just asked what you knew about it?
That's what I know. I know nothing else other than Viner sindromda hand in producing it.
Well, I mean, hey, if I saw this, that's exactly what you did. If I saw this in a video store, I would absolutely rent that.
So h, I've never understood that sentiment. If I'm looking at a book and looking at its cover, I'm gonna I'm literally that's what I have to judge it by.
Yeah, you absolutely judge a book by its cover, and you know, generally people are how they look. I don't care what anybody says. Chaucer was right bring back physiognomy. I think actually I think RFK is he's just going to like squeeze your skull and be like, Okay.
I love that. The guy who is rallying against fluoridated water, appeared in public this week with like tape holding his gums together and just the worst looking to you ever.
Well that's not get too political.
But no, yeah, we don't need you to talk about it.
I think there's a theme song Stinger that's often played in scenes like that, the Kurby Enthusiasm.
Then yeah, I wasn't anyways.
What are you doing? Was that a copyright issue?
Maybe next up? I'm really excited about this one. Uh, Saturn's cool putting out twisted issues. A psycho punk splatter
comedy by Charles Pinion. This is UH. After innocent straight edge skater Paul is taunted and murdered by a carload of drunken long hairs, he is crudely resurrected by a mysterious pot smoking mad scientists as a massed, sword wielding psychopath with a horrifying facial skin graft and a skateboard bolted directly to his foot, determined to enact bloodthirsty revenge on his killers and their cohorts, pau Morods, through their parking lots, warehouses and house parties of Gainesville and a
splatter field cacophony of homespun gore, psychedelic drugs, eighty skate punk culture, abrasive stock footage and gobs of raspberry.
Soda abrasive stock footage. Yeah.
Have you seen anything from Charles Pinion before?
No?
What else is he done?
A handful of sov type things like this? But this is great. I helped produce the commentary for this release, stoked that this is finally out. I cannot wait to get this in new restoration of the feature supervised by Charles's Pinion commentary opinion moderated by Mike Hunchback, who was on the show a few weeks ago. Cast commentary was.
I'm getting all over the releases there.
Oh yeah, he is a busy, busy man. Cast commentary with a bunch of the actors. Screenwriter commentary with Pinion Opinion Steve Anzac and James Bassett. Interview with Pinion Opinion, Conversation with s. A. Bradley of the Hellbent for Horror podcast. Visual essay by Heather Draining on this one. Nine unedited live music performances from Twisted issue. There's a full nineteen eighty seven live set by Muttley Chicks, portions of which
are featured in Twisted issues. Full nineteen eighty seven live set by The Doldrums, Charles Pinion Trailer Vault, and then from Twisted Tissues to Twisted Issues, a twenty eight page booklet edited by Jason Pancoke from microfilm, featuring writings by Heather Drain and Vincent Alberano and Mike Watt, with the foreword by Charles Pinion himself.
Wow, I'll check that out.
This was a must. Saturn's Corp. Have been doing some really great stuff these last few months. I feel like they've kind of stepped up, which is crazy because they've always been incredible, But these releases are really archiving some fantastic things, like full nineteen eighty seven live sets from multiple bands as a supplement is so cool. Yeah, all right, Still a few more OCN. I can't believe I have to say this title out loud. Etr Media is putting
out Watch Them Come Blood from twenty twenty two. This says it's invoking the spirit of eighties grindhouse cinema. Watch Them Come Blood initially focuses on a group of road tripping friends trailing after a public pervert who leads them to a very peculiar brothel until a few other players are thrown into the mix. I will say, and you're gonna laugh at this. Mister Jeremy long has not had the highest of opinions or esteemed feelings on films that Will has agreed with. But he said that this is
one I probably would not like. So I chose not to pick this up.
Directed by I did not understand the twisted syntax of that sentence. What did I have to do with it?
You always talked down about Will or Jeremy's taste in film?
No, that was the joke who never talked down about anybody's taste.
Anyways, there's that is not your commentary with the director and co writer producer. It's got another audio commentary with Jim Branscomb of Cinematic Void. We've got Charlie and John are also on that. A handful of interviews behind the scenes. Stuff sounds good. Wait this movie?
Are you implying I recommended it?
No? No, no, no no, I'm implying that you look down on Jeremy's taste in films. That's we just have different taste.
Uh. I like good movies. I love Jeremy. Are you kidding me? I would never look down at anything about him.
Hold on, Ronnie just threw me for a loop. I just realized my ag for release did not come through.
Wow, it's because they're their motorcycling mamas can't be tamed.
Thanks Ronnie. Yeah, I'm gonna pull that up and we'll just go straight.
Yes, movie Ronnie's been waiting for. That was the first day pick up for me too.
Well, let's talk about that one. Then. This is AGFA releasing Teenage Gang Debs. Can't show too much of this, but here is the other side of the slip cover. This one is from nineteen sixty six, shot guerrilla Style
in the Shadows of Brooklyn. Teenage Gang Debs combines the template of freaks with the blueprint for hairspray to forge the most essential juvenile, delinquent gutter noir that ever was, with its cinema verite fight scene, gang leaders who wear cardigan sweaters and refreshing flip of gener roles and exploitation. This something weird class sic siick feels like what would happen if the shingri Las stop singing leader of the
pack and started stabbing punks with switchblades. This is region free preserved from something where He's thirty five millimeter print commentary with Lisa Pertrucci, agfa's Alicia Coombs and author filmmaker Janet Harvey. There's a bonus movie, love on AGVA does this? You got the Rebel set from nineteen fifty nine preserved from sixteen milimeter print, some shorts preserved from sixteen milimeter
as well, Summer Decision, and a teenage diary. There's a teenage Turmoil trailer reel preserved from SVHS and then a booklet with an essay by Lisa Petrucci. God dang, this wasn't immediate for me.
What was the bonus movie?
It is the Rebel set from nineteen nine.
That's another good Mystery Science Theater episode, but the movie is fun on its own as well.
Yeah, this sounds fan frea fantastic.
Yeah, that's one of the top releases of the of the month. Absolutely, which is this? And it's a stacked month too.
Yeah, it's a big month. And you know, we only got a couple left of the partner labels, so maybe I should go through those before I say this. Oh yeah, let's go straight to the next one. I just stopped sharing that for no reason. I'm sorry. The next title is from IFC and it is we are what we Are. It is not showing up on the screen right now. I'm sorry here it is so this is a Blu Ray release of this one. It's a family drama morphs into a potent, disturbing vision of horror.
Looks like she watched him Come Blood.
Jesus William in this shocking, bloody and deeply moving first feature. When it's patriarch drops dead in the street, a devastated Mexican clan turns to the eldest son to provide for it by hunting human flesh. Bound together by a terrible secret and monstrous appetites, the family can only survive if he finds a way to continue their mysterious cannibalistic rituals.
This is directed by Jorge Michael Grau, and we've got new audio commentary by Sheila roman Leg, author of the Spanish Fantastic Contemporary Filmmaking and Horror, Fantasy and Sci Fi and MoMA Shatty is on here as well. An archival making of theatrical trailer book of new writing by Valeria Viegas linval.
That was not the Horney Ground. I thought it was I had to look that up and I was like, how is Horney grouse all? I have different Horney grow.
Yeah, this is what I know a lot of people have wanted for quite some time on Blu Ray, and I believe this is the first time it's been released on Blue So this is nice. Glad to see this.
I stand by my joke. I'm not the one who put these releases together.
It's true. I don't think the joke was bad. I just was taken aback by the pretty obvious one. It was pretty obvious. Well, let's go to the next one. Uh, this isn't a release, but Factory twenty five is putting out VHS socks. There is a Cannibal the musical soundtrack from etr Media, and then Shreder Orpheus gets a novelization from VHS hit Fest. Heading over to Melu scene, We've got Takeoff at.
Takeoff Poser Takeoff from nineteen seventy eight is coming as part of the Quality X line.
That Canadian port. I gotta watch on mute. I can't get in the mood.
Hey, suresy, this one is newly scanning restored in four K from his three to five million meter color reversal inter Negative. We got liner Notes with a booklet with essays by Ashley West of the Realita Report, Doctor Hella Laura Helen Marx of Tulane University. All right, all right, take off. Next one is part of the Pikorama line. We got a double feature of Tropic of Desire and Fantasy World. This is Bob.
Chin Bobby c Traffic A Desire is a pretty decent movie that's been released already. I think it was in that FS five years five, so that's out of print, right. And then and then the second feature is new to Peak Arama. Right.
I think it was on a DVD if I remember.
Right, might have been a DVD, Okay, either way, So that's welcome, I guess.
Yeah.
Although you know they say they're not upgrading titles, they sure are doing it on the Mileusine side.
Peak Arama side.
It's all on the milliusne site.
Right. Well, you know, yeah, I agree with car sick. Oh. I just figured out.
That was amazing to see you do that live.
I agree about the rialto contributions that you know, you don't have to be a fan of Golden Age smut to really appreciate the historical value that the real.
To report, hence tou Lane University. Yeah all right, so uh oh and then, like I said, Mili, you've seen is also doing their key tag, which I also had to censor.
Reginal one makes the most sense, it does.
Welcome to the party. Uh so, vinegar syndrome. This month, a lot of people not happy with the VS titles, But I was kind of surprised to see a lot of people not happy with the partner label titles. I felt like this month was quite strong from them.
Yeah, I did too. This is this is the first month we've agreed on in a while.
A lot of either intriguing titles or important titles or just kind of like right up my alley stuff, which seems like a lot of people were unhappy with it. Yeah, we got more VS to talk about, so after we get get down to the MAC, we will discuss that.
I've also been enjoying the daily deals. I've picked up a couple of things that I've been interested in but hadn't checked out yet, like Yellow Veil, Sweet Sweet, Lonely Girl and was it the Canalog's SAPA Our Lord of Miracles that looks like a really interesting documentary.
Is that today.
That was yesterday. Today I got val D for Demons. Yeah, so it's cool. I always appreciate the kind of random pickups you can get on the Daily Deals, stuff that you miss.
I want to shout out today's Daily Deal that I would really recommend that Utopia put out Feen and there's still eighty two with the slipcover. That movie is fucking incredible. It's pretty one of my favorites from last year. I absolutely think people should check it out. It is kind of crazy to me that the slipcover is still there. It deserves to sell out and quickly. Another one from the VS mainline. If you've never got this, I really love Death Promise and it's on sale for thirteen ninety day.
Awesome. Yeah, everybody get Death Promise. That shit's great. That's about the softball team, right.
No, no, no, no, Death Promise is the the It's it's kind of like martial arts.
The apartment guy.
Yeah, the guy that puts the SACA rats on the other guy's.
Head also good. Yeah get it? What am I thinking of?
Well, I'm sure I think it is blood or bloody games.
Maybe maybe, but yeah, what you're talking about is really good too.
Them is released by Utopia, Silent Mandible. Yes, and yes, c G tv VS is giving bonus points to the daily deals. I think it's five times right now.
Yep. That's how they keep reeling me in. Like every time I come back, They're like, you've got five dollars. I'm like again, yeah, but it's nice because it pays the tax and like a couple bucks off, so it like, yeah, I gotta get back into doing reviews and getting that dollar. Pew. No, it's a if you if you put a video in a photo and review gets a dollar per review.
Keith I was about to type this out. Keith is saying, is FEM a revenge movie? Uh, in a way, but also not in the way that you're thinking it's like a psychological revenge kind of and then it turns out to not be that. But FEM is freaking incredible. And yes, Paul, that is the movie with George McKay. All right, So
that is it from OCN mail. You've seen Vinegar Syndrome and everybody co kind of big news next, which I don't know necessarily what it means yet, but Deadline reported that a private equity group called oak Tree Capital Management is purchasing film Rise, which this private equity group had already bought Shout Studios in twenty twenty three. So now they have also bought film Rise. We didn't really discuss it, but a couple months ago they also bought Gravitas Ventures.
So Shout owns all of Gravitas Ventures now and all of this is coming together and it seems like they're creating an umbrella corp called Radial Entertainment Now. I don't know if Shout's going to change their name. I would guess not because they have kind of a huge reputation, but internally this is all falling under Radial Entertainment Now. A lot of people thinking that this is going to make some big changes. I don't know that it's going to change all that much. If anything, just Shout Max,
Shout Max anything. This is likely just going to like up the stuff on film Rise or on the Shout Factory streaming channel.
Well, who are these love machines on the press release?
Rich white dudes? That's it. That's all you need to know.
They just get back from the Bezos wedding.
It looks kind of Venetian. Huh.
Well, these guys, you know, the middle one always wants to talk about his hovercraft.
Yeah, so again, I don't necessarily know what it means, but there is a quote that says, we believe combining these companies under the Radial umbrella creates a world class film and TV media business with scale needed to complete, or sorry, needed to compete and win any rapidly evolving landscape of digital entertainment and streaming media. And that's primarily being said here because they bought film Rise, which is streaming stuff.
I hate those platitudes, man, I mean, I hope everything goes great. Maybe these guys are huge lovers of Centem and we'll see some investment in the distribution of real art.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to make of this.
You know me. I judge books by their covers, so.
So judge away. August twenty six, Warner Brothers is releasing The Unholy Trinity from last.
Year aka Django Unfunded Wow.
Pierce Browsn and Samuel L. Jackson are starring in this. I had seen this poster everywhere, but had never heard of anybody watching this.
The first release for those guys. Well, I love well, I love the art, though. This really tells you something, said David Arquette.
No, that is Brandon Lessard. The fuck is that much younger than David Arquette.
I don't know Brandon Lessard. Well, good luck to you, ye young fella.
Oh god, I forgot about this. Dread Central and Epic Pictures on October fourteenth is releasing diet reloaded from this year. The word die with an apostrophe with sid at the end of it. This says Seattle. Halloween Night, nineteen eighty six, Benny, an infamous serial killer, long thought contained, breaks free from a high security asylum, reborn behind a twisted scarecrow mask. As he leaves a trail of carnage across the suburbs, whispers of his gruesome pasture surface, fueling panic and a
city soaked in neon and fear. But Benny isn't just filling for pleasure. He's hunting someone. A young woman unknowingly tied to the darkest chapter of his madness becomes his fixation, and good lord, are we just copying Halloween? And the closer he gets, the bloodier it gets. Diced Reloaded delivers a brutal synth drenched I'm losing my syntax now A brutal synth dread slasher soaked in nineteen eighties nostalgia where Benny carrs his place in horror history one body at
a time. Now, if you're writing copy and you say that your character is carving his place in horror history, he is not. You should not say that.
Well he's Oh, they should have said slicing and dicing. Yeah, yeah, dice.
Dice anyways.
To be the sequel will be set in Minnesota and it'll be called de Iced.
That's funny, But Matthew's trying to correct me. Not even close Halloween's and Illinois. This is in Washington. That was great, Matthew. Next up, Cleopatra Records is putting out Hollywood Rocks from two thousand and eight, Will's new favorite documentary about the rock and roll big hair music scene in the eighties.
Oh well, who do they cover?
Though?
Bands like Rat?
Oh okay, I'm into it.
Right, good dude, I'm not against them. Next up, the movie that I have tickets for on Saturday. Magnolia is releasing forty acres on September twenty third on Blu Ray. This says, after a series of plagues and wars leave society, and ruins. The Freeman's are surviving on an isolated and a well protected farm until they're forced to make a violent stand against a ravenous militia hilbent on taking their land. Eager to see this and it's great. It's got Danielle Deadweiler,
isn't it. Next up, Viz Media here in the US is releasing a Blu ray Steel book of Uzu Maki, the short mini series that is four episodes. It's not the one you're thinking. It is much worse. This is from this year. I believe it's from Netflix, and supposedly like all of their funding went to the first episode
and then everything that came after that was garbage. And they've even like said it publicly, the filmmakers have said it publicly, like, yeah, all of the budget was in the first one, and we had the option to either just release the first episode or release everything that we had, warts and all, and they put out all four episodes and it got eviscerated online.
For some reason. I don't want to fruit roll up right now.
All right, you were going to talk about the original losing Machi.
Huh? I mean it's cool, sounds like it's better than.
That junji Eto is great. Only a few left tonight, will We're almost done. Twenty eight years later from this year is getting a four K Stel book and standard and Blu ray and yes we'll DVD. We don't have a release date for it, but you can pre order the steelbook now and the four K and all that other stuff already. How do you feel about this art?
I mean, that's fine.
It's decent. I like the zombies in the in the drips and then the hunters at the top. It's pretty cool.
I heard mister Manhattan's in this. I don't know who that is from Watchmen. I think I don't know. It was a joke about the giant dick.
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, twenty eight inches later.
Yeah, i'll tell you one thing, you'd become and blood after that. But I saw twenty eight days later in the theater, and I remember the experience hurting my eyes so much because of the digital video. Yeah, it's not great, and so I never saw the sequels or anything.
I kind of, oh, well, they don't look like that at all.
Yeah, I know. I also don't like it was a Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle.
Yeah, I don't like him, but I'll probably do a series, rewatch. I've been like the past couple of years, I've been getting into the habit of punishing myself by doing my series run throughs of You know, I did like All the Late Placids several months ago. Yep, I think I talked about it on the show that good God.
I will say, twenty eight weeks later, the opening is the pretty much the exact same film film type as the first film, and then after you get past the opening, then it's a completely different movie.
Do they have a twenty eight months or is it just the three?
Just the three so far? But this the new thing is supposed to be a full trilogy, like there's another one coming out in January.
Already twenty eight years and four months later.
It is twenty eight years later. And then Colon with I think it's Bone Temple, not an actual Colon. Uh, never mind.
Twenty eight years later. Colon de iced twenty eight years later, You dice, Oh, I said, I went back to the minute.
I think you went back to Minnistona for some reason. All right, let's keep going. Oh god, so vs are are announcing titles every single day. Yesterday their VSU is Macing Me from nineteen eighty eight. Now here's the thing. I got nothing against people loving this movie. I know that people are very nostalgic for this. I think the art for this is quite funny. I think this fits into the VSU line because they've done quite a few like kids movies or borderline kids movies on VSU. This
even has some new extress. We got a new commentary with Stuart the director, and then Jim Brand's Come of Cinematic Void, new commentary with Wayne Byrne and Paul Farren, new interview with the director again, new featurettes, all kinds of new stuff. Plus there's a forty page book with all kinds of new essays. I just don't love that Vinegar Syndrome is re releasing Shout Factory stuff. And again Shout Factory released this. I get it like seven years ago. It was in print as of a week ago on
Blu Ray. It's probably out of print now. But will how do you feel about Macing Me? Before I say.
Much, the joke I was gonna make was that Paul Rudd had already bought up all the limited edition. But you got all serious about it, Like I just for Mac and Me purists like myself, I just don't know what format to choose.
I don't get why we need this, why like we do not well?
But to be fair, how many of the titles have we needed?
I mean, like one of the ones that we're about to talk about has been very needed, and it's going to it's a huge deal that we're getting what we're getting about that upcoming announcement that we're going to talk about a minute. But this, like, there was already a very good blu ray in print last week and has been for seven years. People that were new to collecting. If you wanted Mac and Me, you could have searched
on Amazon and picked it up for very cheap. We don't need a fifty dollars version of Mac and.
Me unless it's the nineteen eighty nine instructional video hosted by Iced Tea called macan and.
Me, right, And that joke has already been made in the chat, and I know that we need it. I look, I'm not against this movie coming out on four K, like I said, it's just but isn't this.
Like the fifth title that you pointed out to just come out and shout or scream.
And Yeah, that's a lot.
That's good.
Why is this one the one that's setting you.
Off because it's fifty dollars for people that aren't subscribers.
That's so don't buy it.
I'm not I wouldn't buy this if it was ten dollars. That's the god's honest truth here. I hate this movie. I think this is maybe the worst movie Vinegar Center was ever released.
Now who.
And I do mean that this movie is real bad? I don't know. I just the fact that it's it's subscriber week, so you're trying to entice people people to subscribe and say, look at all the things you could get with the great discount, and it's all stuff that most people that have been doing this for years either already have or have already seen. Why would people look at this lineup and say, okay, I need to subscribe.
Well, I guess we'll find out. I mean, it's that's there, that's their gamble, right.
Uh?
Hey, do you see that I muted and unmuted using the button like you told me, Ronnie's funny. I like, I take your point to the extent that again, if it were robbing us, if it was a zero something and it would robbing us of a title that we
could have gotten. But it's not. It's it's so so Shout Factories got their Blu Ray and now Vinegar Syndrome for the Mac and Me, like diehards, have this deluxe edition and you can choose which one you want, or like most reasonable filmgoverers, you can say it's funny on Conan, but I don't want to watch this movie, or you can watch there's a Mystery Science Theater version in one of the new the New hosts that was okay, I uh yeah, Like I'm not going to get this, so
like to me, this is like Sidekicks. It's like, oh, Sidekicks, I'm not going to get it. But somebody who wants to pay fifty bucks for Sidekicks to put on their shelf ironically or unironically, which would be even cooler, can put Mac and Me right next to it.
So again, I'm not against Vinegar Syndrome releasing Mac and Me and four K I got nothing against it. I'm just not gonna buy it. But the big thing is it's not a zero some game. But at the same time, what could they have done as a v U right now if they were planning VSUS. If they weren't releasing this, maybe there's something else that they've got coming that they could have released right now.
Yeah, something in the pipeline that it will slow things down. But yeah, the fact is this is probably going to sell.
Oh it will. And they're doing like ten thousand copies of this.
Yeah. And I mean, like it's like we talk about all the time, you put out stuff that's going to sell so that you can subsidize the stuff that you want to put out that you know is not going to sell as well.
And that in this whole scheme of what I'm saying is maybe the problem a little bit, because I feel like all we're doing is re releasing things on four K from other companies now, and vs has really gotten away from the blood tracks that they've done in the last year and a half, and these sort of upgrades that we're seeing used to be few and far between, and now it's practically the entire month slate from Vineger syndrome, which that's where I feel troubled by it.
Okay, Yeah, So like at the end of the year, when it's time to decide if you're a subscriber or you're you're either going to renew or or decide to be a first time to subscriber. You can look at the year slate and be like, eh, maybe I want some Maybe I won't resubscribe, renew, you know, yeah, and then they'll have that data. But yeah, you know, I get your point. It's strange because we know there's no shortage of films that they have access to to put out.
For example, the other cinematograph that was announced today that I guess is going to be next was a surprise to me, and I'm intrigued by it because it was something I had always kind of wanted to see but never got around to. And so like, I thought that was a nice one. And who knows that they still have what three more days?
Yeah, there's no really Like tomorrow is going to be a vsl that's an alien invasion movie. Supposedly, We've got a VSA coming that's a box set of three films, and we have another cinematograph coming that's a four K I believe.
A box set. Oh wow, dang man.
So there's still a lot of stuff coming. And again not against this justin did indicate a lot of the other stuff coming at the end of this week is not on disc or not on Blu ray or four K before whatever. But the big thing is none of that matters. I mean, if you're a Vinegar Syndrome subscriber, all of the mainline stuff is upgrades for a lot of people.
Well occasionally that happens, a big upgrade.
Dump, all right. And so the only other thing about Macame that we should mention is they were able to source from video or I believe it's Japanese laser disc. Technically the alternate climactic shooting sequence where the cop shoots the kid in this movie, it's coming on here as an extra. Yeah, it's not.
So if you want to buy a version of Mac and Me for Erica, this is the one to go for. This is the one. I didn't know they shot a kit.
In this Yes, in the alternate version. So the thing that took Mac and Me and ran with it and was maybe the bigger news pretty much immediately. September twenty third, Sony Sony Themselves is releasing a four K seal book of Knight of the Living Dead from nineteen ninety. This is the Tom Savini directed remake of Knight of the Living Dead now this has two versions of the film, and four K with Dolby vision. We have a brand
new uncensored cut, supervised by Tom Savini himself. This has moments of graphic violence and delivers an alternate vision of this horror classic. He has confirmed that this does start in black and white and turn to color after the opening. They also have the nineteen ninety theatrical version. It will not be tinted blue like the old shitty Twilight time version of this. That's already been fixed by Sony, so you can count on that there's Dolby atmost on both
versions of this. There is a brand new commentary with Tom Savini on the uncensored cut, moderated by Michael Felscher of Red Shirt Pictures. Then on the Blu ray disc, and this is where people start to get mad. The Blu ray disc has the theatrical version of the movie, but not the new uncensored version of the movie, so if you are not four K capable yet, you can't see the uncensored version. And then they also have a
bunch of new interviews. We got a new interview with Bill Moseley, who will just ran into a few weeks ago a new interview with William Butler, a new interview with McKee Anderson and Heather Maser, a new interview with the producers John Russou and Russell Striiner, a new interview with the editor Tom Dubenski, new interview zombie performers Greg Funk and Dirk Ashton. There is some old featurettes that were archival, but lots of stuff coming in this. Love
the art on the steel book. I am so happy with this.
I wish there were a new interview with Patricia Toman, but other than that, I'm stoked.
Yeah, and I do wish that we could get Tony Todd before he passed for this.
Yeah, that's a good tribute though.
Yeah, nice to see something new being added as far as the feature on four K. Love that Tom can finally see his original artistic vision come out. No pre orders up for this yet, but should be up in the next couple of weeks. This will be a wide release, and I believe this is going to be for sale, like I don't know necessarily worldwide, but it should be available in the UK eventually. It was already graded by the BBFC for home video, so should be able to
see that soon. Twice Freaky Tales. We talked about this fairly recently. Lionsgate is putting out a wide release Blu ray of this. You can buy it on four K from their site in their special VHS packaging. But nice to see this get a wide release on Blu Ray. Coming on August twelfth. Will Delirium Magazine is putting out Jess Franco's quote Love Camp end quote from nineteen seventy seven. First off, what do you feel about? How do you feel about this cover art and the title on.
This well sanitized a little bit. They put this out on DVD already, I believe so if I know full Moon, this is a very slight upgrade.
There is a new commentary with Troy Howarth.
I'm interested in that for sure. Look, anytime a Franco film is released in a new format, it's automatic for me. What you want.
I've already got the German Blu Ray, so I don't really.
Need this good But no, that's cool. Yeah, you know, the artwork is not compelling, but but.
It does say kidnapped, prostituted, torture, escaped. I don't know why that sounded like a morning DJ. Let's keep going Jurassic World Rebirth from this year is getting a really bland looking steel book. I do not love this art.
Based on the early reviews, it sounds like it matches the movie.
Yeah, you can preorder this now. It's available widely. Yeah, it's all I got. I haven't seen any of the new Jurassic movies, like I haven't seen anything past the original trilogy. We don't talk about VCI a lot, but they are hosting a sale on their website right now, VCI Entertainment dot Com. I know people probably hear VCI and don't immediately go, oh, need to go shop their sale, but they have a lot of really cool stuff that doesn't go on sale as cheap as they have it
quite often. They've got a lot of really great Mexican cinema. They've also got the entire Kit Parker collection, which has Mary Pickford titles which are really great. They've got Dark Star from John Carpenter. They've got a couple like They've got a video Nasty that's not been on Blu Ray anywhere else. So that's pretty freaking random.
I feel like last year I got six or seven Mary Pickford flicks.
Nice. I think there's only like, what was that?
Did they have the sale last year? Maybe they had a sale recently, but I definitely recently picked up a bunch of Mary Pickford's from them.
I think MVD hosted a VCI sale that's probably where.
Yeah, this is this is why I need you in my life.
That's why I'm here baby. One of the minute. Next up, this is the one that you were referring to, Where No Angels from nineteen eighty nine getting a Blu ray release from Vinegar Syndrome as part of their Cinematographs line. This is released previously on Blu Ray by the studio, but this gets a new audio commentary with Chris O'Neil
and Bill Ackerman. There's a new video interview with the director Neil Jordan, visual new video interview with James Russo, new video essay from Sam Deacon comparing the nineteen fifty five and eighty nine versions of Where No Angels from archival extras, and then new text essays by Patrick Dohle, comic book writer Joshua dis Art, and entertainment journalist Matt Preache tell us about Where No Angels Will.
Well, Like I said, I haven't seen it before, I've only ever seen it on VHS, and by the time I realized.
I haven't seen it, but you saw it on VHS.
I saw it on VHS like in the video store. Okay, that was confusing. But by the time I knew that it was a Neil Jordan movie, I had already become like not a snob. But DVD had come out and it had been a revelation. Like I didn't I didn't realize how much you know, picture in color. I was losing watching VHS and so I was like, well, I'll wait for We're No Angels on DVD. And then I was like, well, it's Neil Jordan, the colors are going to be vivid. I'll wait for it on Blu Ray.
And I just I never saw it, and now we now here it is. This is the second to near a movie on cinematograph. It's that's funny. Yeah, like, I'm really interested in seeing this. I have no idea if it's good. Neil Jordan sometimes is awesome and sometimes not so much. The thing I've heard is basically mediocre. Okay, Well, it says it right in the title. What do you expect?
I mean, he's a hell of a guest, Robert de Niro, Sean Penn.
John c Riley, and you know, it's a good opportunity to go back and watch the original Michael Curtiz, which I don't even know if that's out, is it?
I'm not sure?
I gotta be honest, have to google that. But yeah, you know, I just what I like about Cinematograph is that it really is titles that I don't necessarily expect to see anywhere else, whether or not I'm interested in looking at them. You know, I'm glad that they're getting these releases.
Jim is saying it was under the impression that We're No Angels was only ever on DVD, and looking it up, it looks like the original was on Blu Ray that was released in twenty twenty, and that's it at least in the US. It could have elsewhere, So maybe I was seeing something wrong earlier. Yeah, this is the first time on Blu Ray. Looks like.
So yeah, cool. You know, I'm happy about even the stuff that I'm not interested in getting, except for maybe Diced fuck that movie.
For Canadian friends, Groove has opened up a website for your country. Groove has been why is that.
Fuddy I don't know. I just like the idea of introducing Groove to Canada.
I mean, it's a big deal. It's expensive to shop in the US, so I'm glad they're able to get distribution there.
Hey, listen, I don't know much about Groove, but I do know it's in the heart. Okay.
That's like three attacks on Canada tonight sits attack. Groove is also doing a sale to introduce the website over to Canada. They're doing a multib sale. You buy two four ks for thirty bucks, two Blu rays for twenty five. Shipping is four dollars unless you spend one hundred bucks then it's free. This is pretty exciting. The newest issue of The Physical Media Advocate it released today. It is issue number twenty. It is a special all black and white issue. What twenty Yeah, I'm busy, will.
Real there's a lot of magazines don't make it that far.
We are going to be doing themed issues every five issues now, so this one is an all black and white issue. There's not a single drop of color in the entire thing, and we had some fun with that.
There's a couple of whitehouse.
Jesus Quiddle yikes. You can buy it now. We've got some pieces on Ken Smith's Clerks, which is a really personal written piece by David Winnick. Frank Gutler talks about Carl Reiner's Dead Man Don't Wear Plaid. We've got Stan Geeze talking about Touch of Evil. Sam film blogger Sam on YouTube talks about his favorite movie of all time, The Night of the Hunter. Blake Bergman talks about The Lighthouse, which is our cover piece here as you can see.
And then we've got a piece from mister Sibboner who's in the chat tonight, which I'm so glad to have. Jeremy comes back to talk about his Q and A sections that he always lives up to and uh yeah.
I love that, dude. That's amazing. And also congratulations to all the contributors throughout the run of the magazine. It's so cool that so many, you know, people have been able to write for the magazine and uh, you know, help this community actually produce something physical that not only supports physical media, but gives gives people an outlet to to share their thoughts and analysis and love for this stuff, whether it's art or personal essays or reviews or histories.
It's that's awesome. Like I don't have a joke. I know, I know, like it sounds like I'm leading up to and then but but dumb, But I'm for real congratulating everybody who contributes and who reads it. That's so cool. And I mean, you know, how many people can say that they've produced a magazine. How many people can say that they've contributed to a magazine. You get to hold
in your hands and see your byline. I mean, it's a feeling that's very Not to knock writing online because obviously that's important too, but it's a qualitative difference to hold something in your hand and see you see your name in it, you know.
Yeah, not to mention, I mean the digital version that has links for everybody, So if you're a creator somebody, there's been lots of people that share that they buy the digital version simply because they want to be able to click and go find other people and follow them, and that that is huge. Like I don't know personally, I'm not paying attention to every magazine obviously, but I don't know any others that are doing it like that.
The amount of time embedding links throughout the entire issue takes a lot of work.
I got to be honest, it's insane. Dude. Sometimes I wish you wouldn't do stuff like that because I'm like, you know what about earth stuff, but I but also I'm concerned that your head is going to explode.
It might, but yeah, it is really cool that you do it. You know, this issue is incredible. I can't wait to hold it. I'm still stoked on what the last issue looked like. Have it right next to me. You know, being able to hold these in my hand is crazy. But the biggest thing this week I had somebody subscribe to the magazine on Patreon. Shout out, everybody that wants to do that, go to the Patreon and search up Disconnected. You could subscribe, get every new issue
that comes out sent to you immediately. I had somebody subscribe and I messaged him and asked if he had the last issue. Goes, no, I don't have any, And I went, well, where'd you hear about this? And He's like on TikTok? I went what? And I went over on TikTok and searched for Physical Media Advocate and found some random video some shout out somebody was holding up every single like there, I collect every single one of these. I'm like, who is this? This is amazing. I never
envisioned seeing somebody do that for this magazine. I was like, this is wild.
You made it. If you're on the Tiki Talk.
Somebody is holding the magazine down on the Tiki Talk, which I'm hoping to eventually get her on the channel. She has some cool stuff, so we might get that eventually.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if a TikTok creator can last for a two hour disconnected interview our live tream.
All right, that is it then for us? Oh no, it's not. I missed too. What the hell?
I feel like I'm just getting my wind you.
Are, because we still got two more. I don't know why it was not there and I needed to refresh so Altered Innocence. We had talked about this title previously, but it is now available to pre order with a Diabolic DVD exclusive slip cover, and that is for so unreal. It's got this crazy art. This is the one that I mentioned before was probably going to get a slipcover because it was so colorful in the original art, and as you can tell, they went all in on it.
Exactly like I thought they would. Yeah, you can pre order. This comes out on September sixteenth. But then the last thing for this week, Baby Assassins three, coming out on Blu Ray from well Go usse Welco USA on August twenty sixth. I've heard that the second one is great. The first one was a blast. I need to see both of these.
Now.
I didn't know they were making a third one.
Oh okay, I thought it was Baby's Day Out? All right, So how do I read the title? Is it Baby Assassins or Baby Assassins?
Sadly, it's the first one, I believe, Dann because they are teenage assassins.
Okay, okay, all right, Well.
Now that's it for the week I forgot. Yeah, we're gonna go up favorites of Robert Altman off the top of your head.
Ready, favorite nineties hip hop moguls who have been found not guilty of.
Because there are many next week's titles which we always go over at the very end.

It's gonna be a fun month. We got a lot of stuff going on.
Yeah yeah, working on some really good visual essays. I'm quite excited about our output. I hope that when we're able to announce them that that people will take a chance on them. I think, well, I shouldn't say it. I will say that the stuff we're working on now is as good or far better than the movie that they'll be with. Yeah, that is so worth it, and it's been really fun to work on. And hopefully we'll be able to share the big thing.
And it's for a new label that we haven't announced anything before with.
Well yeah, right.
Actually both of them this week have been new to you and.
Me, right, And you know last month we mentioned obviously that John and I shot some stuff with Tiffany Sheppis, and hopefully we'll say what that was all about, because yeah, because it's gonna be pretty freaking cool. Yeah. So it's weird to be happy and sad at the same time. I guess it's the human condition, though really usually it's just sad. But I have happiness and sadness mixed together. Is I guess the delicious pain that produces the best heart.
