Re-Connected June 5th, 2025: Announcements and More with Will Dodson!!

You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.

Hello, welcome back to another Thursday Night. I feel like you've been waiting for this for at least a week. It's been a long time. A lot has happened the last week. Eager to see everybody, but also very excited just to hang out with my buddy Will for a couple hours.

Will welcome. How are you doing other than muting entirely? That's all right, we didn't need to hear you.

Well, I didn't do it. You did it.

I did not do anything of the sort.

I've been waiting four weeks for this, That's what I was trying to say.

That's true. It's been a it's been a busy month for you. How the convention m really well.

Went to Carolina Fearfest as a representative of several films along with our buddy John Daly, who was representing Terror Vision, and we shared a booth and people were very excited. You can see on social media Instagram and Facebook and stuff. We got interviewed by a couple of podcasts, not a lot of boutique labels at at the at this particular convention, and and yeah, everyone was really excited, and we did some pretty steady business. Sold a lot of stuff I

Of the Tzar pretty damn red.

He was so surprised when he saw it that he kept me there for like ten minutes to talk about the about the thing. Let's see, Oh, I saw a question about the top sellers. It was real strange. You know. We we had a very inventory, I think for both Severn it was the first time they'd ever been there and Terror Vision was kind of trying it again just to see what the sales will be like. So, you know, we had some Dary Argento and Luccio Fulci stuff that

Nice.

But also Tracy Lords was at the con and so we had some copies of Skinner and made it a little display, and I encouraged people to take that up for her to sign to see. So that one sold out, you know, we sold on terror vision side. We even sold copies of Gushing Prayer, which should be selling. Yea, well,

It's a big deal.

We can't say why yet, but we worked with her for a couple hours and she was great. I'll tell I'll tell one quick story. So we were trying to set up so the the Carolina Fearfest is in the State Fairgrounds and it's in this huge warehouse where they have livestock competitions, you know, people looking at animals, testicles and stuff. And so we're working with the organizers trying to find a place where we can do the interview.

What a weird weekend.

Yeah, So we had a nice talk and Tiffany was great. And Tiffany, by coincidence, has a connection to what's about to happen.

Yeah, we actually had a Tiffany Shepiss film get announced this week. We're gonna be talking about it tonight during the announcements. It is this etr media release of Samurai Priest a Vampire Hunter. You can get this now. The slip's selling very well. Pretty great art on this. I got a lot of compliments all over from people loving this stuff. And out of nowhere, we got asked if

Welcome to the show, mister Mark, Terry. What's up? Guys?

How you doing?

Will?

How you doing?

Ryan?

What's up?

Hey, Mark? How's it going?

Good to see you doing great?

I spoke to Ryan, and I spoke to well, are we allowed to cuss here? Are we allowed to say whatever we want? Or wide open? I got some Tiffany Shepherd stories too, Why do to a point point? Okay, So Tiffany worked with us for one day, actually the last day of the old school of the two thousand and nine era of filming, and really nice lady. I mean, I'm so thrilled to see her career kind of move forward, and she's on Star Trek and she's doing all kinds

Ryan?

I kind of told you to it on the phone.

I think it's tame enough. Yeah.

So I'm sitting we go to a convention, will Fangoria convention and I'm going up the elevator at the LA Convention Center and I see this guy just like hunched over and I said, hey, man, I hope it's going to be busier today than it was yesterday. And he turns around and he just looks tired, and I said yeah, I mean he says to me, I hope so too. And I looked at him. I knew I knew him,

And so he sees the shirt that I'm wearing for the movie.

And he goes, oh, she's in that movie, and he's talking about Tiffany right, And I'm like, oh shit, because I know what you know, they had been together and then now they weren't married anymore.

And I said, yes, she was great to work with.

You know, I'm just just you know, buttering her up, saying, you know, she was only there for like half a day. He turns around to me and like the coldest stare goes, yeah, she's a complete bit.

And I'm like, no, no, she's nice.

We like her.

And I'm like, I guess that's what happens uh to divorce. But anyway, that's my little story after the movie. But I like Tiffany. I don't know Corey Haym. I guess didn't like her, but it is what it is.

I liked.

My experience was also, yeah, completely the opposite. Quite nice.

She's real short too.

I always thought that she'd be like five eight five nine, but you know, she comes in there with those you know, the real high heels on. And I saw her with the makeup girl when she was working with us, and I was like, Wow, I'm shocked she's so short. But I mean, still a beauty today as much as she's ever been, and I'm real happy for her success.

And that's the truth.

Well, speaking of that, your blu Ray has been fairly successful already this first week, Samurai Priest, Vampire Hunter. What kind of stuff is on the disc that people can look forward to?

Well, I tell you what you know.

As many of you guys probably that originally was titled Live Evil, released in Warner Brothers and Netflix in two thousand and nine. There was a gam bit of different people who worked on it who could say that they wrote it or directed it. I'm the only person who was on the entire film the entire time.

It's my movie. I owned the copyright to it.

And I took the better part of kind of the stuff that wasn't used because we wanted to kind of redo Live Evil, but we couldn't when we got in there and when we started scanning the film. This took five years. Mike Hoffman, who actually directed Girls Gone Dead, which is a fun twenty twelve movie with Jerry the Judge, you know who, Jerry, Jerry the King Lawler almost said something else Jerry the King Lawler, and I think Ron

But we got at a bunch of.

Other things, including the behind the scenes car chase stuff. Most of the stuff has never been released, so it's not just talking about stuff that happened in two thousand and nine or twenty ten. This is what has happened since twenty seventeen up.

To where we're at now.

So that's and I tell you what I can't tell you enough about Mike Hoffman and Schary Stewart who basically and Alex Sarabia who did the artwork, who made this film come back Live.

We shot twenty more days.

I mean, we did a ton of stuff to kind of make Live Evil into what it is now Samurai Priest vampire Hunter.

So there it is.

It's a pretty damn cool You guys worked on the restoration. How'd that go?

Well?

First, I guess what did you guys?

First?

Shoot on?

We shot on super sixteen millimeter. It was my idea to shoot on and it's probably a dumb idea, and that's kind of why this film turned out the way it did. It was the film was extremely under exposed, and we shot some thirty five, but mostly Super sixteen on an old junkie E Claire camera, and we did some other on thirty five, like I mentioned, but I would say about eighty five percent of it's up in

I call it like my Snyder cut. It's different.

We couldn't redo Live Evil, so we have what we have now, which is Samurai Priest Vampire Hunter, first time ever on Blu Ray.

Pretty pretty cool.

Obviously, got a couple of big names in this, and he major major memories from making the movie that you want to share with everybody.

So Tim Thomerson's in it. Tim Thomerson worked for us for twelve days we count eight R thirteen legend he was sixty one at the time when he filmed with us. Love him, I would say this, and I probably this probably wouldn't be very popular. I mean, he's like seventy nine now, and with all due respect to him, we love him. We love Tim Thomerson. In fact, the reason Mike Hoffman, our editor, got involved, is because he's a

What does that mean? Nobody's you know what you should call it?

Samurai priest, vampire hunter or some And I remember that and that's what we ended up going to because of him in that specific day.

So I loved Tim.

It was great work with him, never showed up late, never unprofessional, always knew his lines.

Just Jenna pro smart, smart man.

With the title like that, for anybody that's not seen it, and obviously with the title, they're maybe not getting what's going to be in the movie.

You pitch them on it.

Give us a thirty second pitch on what they can get in this film.

Most independent films take place in one location. Samurai Priest Vampire Hunter is a creep show, a la grindhouse movie that moves from Arizona to Los Angeles, and it's about a click of vampires that are getting chased down by this mysterious vampire hunter. Samurai priest. Why the only person who knows the stuff is Ken Frey and he instead of being a drug dealer, he's a blood pusher to vampires. So this is a giant chase movie with car chases ridiculousness.

I used to call it back in the day.

A Tim Thomerson fans wet dream nudity stunts gore. It's supposed to be fun, just like the Full Moon movies. I'm sure you guys are around my age that we grew up watching, you know, And I tell you what, Ryan that Day Live poster. I have that poster signed by Roddy Piper here at my place, and that was I used to have it in college, and I used to always see the Live Evil, Live Evil on the on the poster. So films like that we're a big inspiration to be able to get where we're at today.

We'll allow this one for anybody that wants to maybe pre watch it before they decide if they want it on disc.

I think you said it was streaming right now.

Right streaming for free on TB and on Plex. I would suggest checking it out. The thing about to B and Plex is it's in seven twenty. It's on sale on Amazon, which is in ten eighty. I think it looks better on Amazon than it does to B and Plex obviously, but the Bluey Blu ray looks by far better from what I ever said. I haven't seen the Blu ray yet, but I know what we turned in, and I know the author the Vinegar Syndrome has and

Will's laughing. We've joked about this before. Some of these things they just don't pay people. And to be one of the honest people that does, it's a big deal.

Yeah, I mean we I mean unlike we're sag after production. We had I know what Tim made. I mean, I think he made his health insurance on his film, so obviously we paid him something. But you know, it's it's about a half million dollar movie. That's a real number. It's not a fake, you know, filmmaker, I'm gonna pretend like I'm gonna shoot you know. And at the time I tell you this, Ryan, I worked at a company called Filmo Technic that has the Russian all and we

Well, and big shout out to Ross over it and showed the ride media that's putting this out. Ross is a great dude. I've talked to Ross God, I don't know, maybe fifty times over the years. He's incredible. So I'm glad you're working with him, Glad that he's got a film like this coming on his label.

And appreciate you taking the time. I hope people check it out.

Thank you and will nice meeting you.

I appreciate you, guys, Ryan, thank you for having me and Hey check out the movie and hey, there's a lot of nudity, a lot of ridiculous in it. We put everything we had into it, and I hope people can have some fun with it.

And I'll tell you what.

Those commentaries are spirited as much as I am right here, So I hope people have a good time.

Amazing. Thanks Mark, We'll talk again.

Okay, guys, thanks so much.

I did order a copy.

Nice. Nice.

I hope it's pretty good. I thanks Mark again for showing up. That was that was always fun to get somebody that's, you know, associated with one of these releases somehow to come on and say some words back to our regularly scheduled programming. We were talking about the Tiffany stuff, anything else you want to throw in about her.

Isn't that such a funny coincidence?

I mean it is.

Yeah, she only worked on the movie for one day, like in two thousand and eight or nine. But it's still a funny coincidence that that Mark. We get in touch. And did I see one of the co producers also post.

Yeah, Michael Hoffman, I cut co produce Samurai Priest. If you have questions, he said, he scanned a ton of the negative.

Oh that's amazing.

Yeah, it's so cool.

Yeah, I mean the trailer looks like a lot of fun and certainly there was a period of my life where a title like that would be automatic, and that period remains happening now automatic.

All right, on that note, let's get to some of our regular stuff.

What have you been picking up lately?

Pickups? Okay, I always put things in the wrong stack. Let me sit here. What did I get? Okay? Picked up some things first. I'll start with This is probably the coolest thing I got. This is from Eureka Terror in the Fog, the Wallace, Creamy Set. I think this is a volume. Is this a volume one?

I don't think they labeled it a volume one?

Okay, well, anyway, so so cool. Picked up Paul Bartel's unreleased final film, shelf Life. Did you get that as well?

I wasn't going to share.

This is gonna be saved for next week, but yeah, I get it, just randomly in the same time.

Well, I got you know, Keno gets me every time. And I picked up some Westerns Cattle Drive. What do we got here? Border River? We got California? Huh, they know how to party. Picked up a couple of jim Y Norski films that I did not didn't have. Carrie Werer stars in Poison not Poison Ivy. That's that's a different, completely different franchise. And the debut of Missus Jennifer love Hewett. And Home for the Holidays, that's that's a Dane Keith

Hill very nice.

And finally a neat look in SAT's Core flick that I hadn't checked out before, called Ravage. So those are all blind bias, but I'm gonna be checking out soon.

Speaking of Saturn's Core, I believe the title that we are on for Saturn's Core Zombie Army is somehow already listed in the going out of print section and probably heavily discounted, So if somebody wanted to check that out. It's partner a Label only month, so go check that out. It's great time for that. Brent is bringing up the dirtier cut of Dirty Work. This is my favorite pickup of the entire month. Here it is without its terrible

It was a joke. Will hates everything about it, I'm sure, and then.

Not as good as the first one.

That's to be argued the next thing.

I don't talk about Cinema Guild enough because they don't really put out a lot of stuff, but they put out a four K of Typhoon Club and was able to pick this up.

Just got this in so stoked on that. But man, my biggest score of the month.

I love getting releases from eighty eight films this way, specifically because I don't have to give the company money and feel kind of weird about it. I traded somebody for this and it happened to be sealed still and I got the complete flesh and Blood show.

Nice.

This is the horror films of Pete Walker. You've got all of these different titles in here still sealed and.

Didn't even have to spend money on it. That's the best part.

That's always good. Always. It's actually my favorite part of work on Fearfest is we were paid partly in merchandise, so I picked up some of those Russ Meyers as well. You know, I I forget what I was gonna say. Oh yeah, I'm excited about the dirty cut of Dirty Work. I'm gonna watch that this weekend. Yeah, my subscription came in as well. But nice, I'm showing those jack came there. Yeah, Punk Vacation, great name for a podcasts.

Make you do that? What about what you've been watching for the last.

Month, Delaware residents? What did I do to Delaware? I'm not sure. I'm forgetting.

One of the Western names or something.

Anyways, please enlighten me. I did something bad to Delaware. I'll need to get a reminder of what it is. What'd you just ask me? What I watched?

What did you watch over the last month?

Yes, A couple of things, A couple of things. Let's start with a Tiffany Sheppid's classic Bonnie and Clyde versus Dracula well Worth were well worth a watch Reunited with Trent Haga from their Day is at Trauma. I actually have to say Tiffany Shepherds is not short, she's she's regular size. I'm six three, so I mean, like, just say, I hear you. I watched Stage Coach again for the first time in many years, plugged to Tumbleweeds and TV Cowboys just had a nice episode about Stage Coach with Hunter.

The silent mandible thing about Delaware was because Wayne's World mentions Delaware.

Oh yeah, if you make a Wayne's World reference, I will not understand what you were saying. This is not the jet Lie Hero, this is win Bow.

Oh that's right, it's the other one.

It's great.

I've had gently on my mind since that box that got anh.

Yeah, right, that's gonna be awesome. No, this is this is great. This is a class based gangster movie fem Fatale the works, great choreography. Here's a great film that I got blind by at the at the deep discount indicator sale. Yesterday's Enemy. This is a hammer film directed by vow Guest World War two movie British soldiers cut off from there platoon deep in the Jungles jungle of Burma at the time, Meandmark and Bleak. Oh my gosh. And it's all about war trocities and justification of violence.

I saw your letterbox. I'm surprised you loved it.

I knew you were lying because I've never updated let my letter box. I need to. Yeah, you know it, just and listen. I know people like to say that I hate everything made after two thousand and that's not exactly wrong, but I go into every movie wanting to like it. I thought the Marvels was pretty good, unlike

You're going straight into it. Yikes.

I did watch one ludicrous movie that I somewhat enjoyed, Under Paris on Netflix.

I thought, we're gonna say Fast and Furious.

Too, Xavier Gains it's a shark movie. What.

I was sorry to make a ludicrous joke, and it didn't land because I don't even think he's in Fast and Furious too.

You could say he was and I wouldn't know. I've seen neither Fast nor Furious. That would be the next title. Neither Fast nor Furious.

It's just a retirement home.

So I guess that's enough. Yeah. I watch those not so great been watching The Righteous Gemstones, not quite finished with that. No spoilers.

Nice.

Nice. I'm excited about the just to respond to the Wonderment project there. I'm pretty excited about Jade too, coming from vinegar syndrome. I want to see it and I want to see the four K restoration. I watched it last year for the first time on streaming. It was on the Criterion Channel with their like Erotic Thrillers section. Yeah, and again, speaking of ludicrous that that movie is, but it's got one of my favorite kind of like change

You do?

KB? You could go out the movies with KB.

That was two weekends ago, but I did get to go out to a movie with a friend this weekend too. I watched last week, I watched the first four Final Destination movies. Then Friday, I watched Final Destination five with the wife and really enjoyed it again. But then went In's Final Destination Bloodlines with keV Boonesy, who is not in the chat tonight because he is pretty much just

It was. It was bad. It was really bad.

I'm sorry, I'm not I was disappointed, but yeah, that's kind of what I expected the trilogy to be. I guess I'm more disappointing because the trilogy was good. Other than that, been watching a bunch of deaf crocodile stuff this week, working on a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, go ahead, shall we talk about the want?

Go ahead if you want. It's already been announced.

Well, we just wrapped up a visual essay for.

Serious hence Will's byline.

There the first surviving time travel movie made in Hungry. It was pretty interesting, pretty pretty cool movie.

It's gorgeous to look at.

Yeah, beautifully shot. Hungry's film industry is much better than their politics at that time, to say yes, say the least, say what you will about you know which side they chose in the war? Oh, their film industry, marvelous technical achievements.

Yeah, it's it's quite a beautiful movie.

Sumptuous. I would describe their film industry as sumptuous and their politics as loathsome.

Even that is very much putting it mildly evil evil perhaps might be the.

Oh you know what, I did see one other movie in the theater almost forgot, with my good friend John Daly. Saw two movies in the theater with John Day Holy Cow. One was Reanimator. We want to see the four K restoration. I know there's some controversy over cost of the impending four K I'll leave that to you and the Beard.

Yeah, and like Capitol weird both.

And just fantastic. We enjoyed it immensely. And then our new buddy Dick, who we met at the Sam Degan screening of Zero Grad a couple mon months ago, invited us out to the Alamo to see Lady Terminator.

Nice. Seeing that on a big screen would be incredible.

It was noise. It was noise, and it was also cool because it was clear that several of the people around us were seeing it for the first time. And there's nothing in this world like watching Lady Terminator with someone who's never seen Lady Terminator in.

A group of big group of people like that.

Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. Is the DVD that Mondo Micabre put out out of print at this point.

I don't think it's out of print.

I don't even think he's mentioned if like elements or an upgrade or possible someday. God, I hope that that would make it a probable upgrade.

What was in the theater was definitely not a restoration, right. It looked it looked like it had known some use, you know what I'm saying.

They saw you coming, got it.

By Lady Terbina. That print of Lady Terminator had been around the block, you know what I mean. But it still was a lot of fun. So those were those were my foras out into the world.

On that note, we have like just over one hundred announcements to cover tonight, so we'll get into that just a moment. But I really wanted to give you a moment because you weren't able to be here last week when we announced Gator.

Bait one and two.

Right, you want to talk anything about the audio commentaries or being able to talk to Joe Bob. I know you were on the television podcast. Yeah, sharing with everybody here.

Yeah, well, I mean I've talked about the because we shot that Joe Bob interview a little over a year ago now, so it's been a long time coming. Shooting the interview was a wonderful experience. It was so great to bring some UNC Greensboro students in two be the crew on that interview, and he was so gracious to them. I think the interview turned out really well. It was going to be interesting to people. I think I mentioned before he said some stuff about the films that I

We're not gonna be able to shake the shield word after saying this, but I believe tonight is when the price go. Oh no, it already just went up this afternoon, so never mind it went It went from fifty four ninety nine to sixty four ninety nine, So you missed out on that ten dollars window. I mean, honestly, sixty five for what you're getting is a pretty incredible price.

Still, Yeah, Gator Bait and Gator Bay two.

This was our I think second or third confirmed project we ever did together.

Yep, one more that we still can't say.

I think there.

I think this would either second or third that we knew that we were going to do, But then it was definitely the second and third that we had ever recorded yea, so it was crazy.

Yeah, it's been a while for those mm hmm.

So I'm really excited that they're they're coming out soon and Sledgehammer as well, which is going to have another show. By the interview, that's kind.

Of you just called him out and now he shows up.

That's kind of that's become that's become my niche.

I guess Joe Bob interviews and now Tiffany Shepp is not not bad kind of company.

Oh my god, dude. And I didn't really go into it. She was so cool, just cool, just totally chill. Hey, I hear, Hey, strange guys who I've never seen before and have no idea. If you're any good, let's go for it, you know. And oh, I can't well, I can't say. What we shot was really great and she was so great in it, and I look forward to being able to tell everybody more about it. I have been a fan of hers since I mean, we're I'm

Yeah, and Star Trek.

Now third season of Picard, she's a doctor shoot. I forget her character's name, but her first her first like line the show is to yell at Jonathan Frakes, which is kind of neat. That's pretty like you start. You start your career like beating up Sean Gunn.

And then you end up yelling at at Commander Riker.

You know, that's a long and storied career. And I've just always liked her and everything because she has such a a presence. She kind of like throughout most of her career, Like her look reads gothy punk, kind of in the realm of Perusa. Buck why not a rider type of thing, you know. And but if you go through through her career, you'll find that she does so many different kinds of roles. Comedy, thriller, is obviously, horror mostly uh and even in the lowest of low budget movies,

All right, let's get into this crazy night of announcements. If anything else comes up, we'll chat it out. Everybody, please speak up, share your thoughts in the Comment's got a lot to cover tonight, so so many big titles.

This is gonna be a fun night.

We started last week with Second Sight announcing When Evil Lurks, which was one of my favorites from twenty twenty three. This is getting a four K and Blu ray limited box set from Second Site. You can also get the standard that comes out the same day. This is a dual format, and they've got some new extras all over here. We've got a new audio commentary, We've got new interviews with people associated with the film. We got a new

I'm sure you haven't seen this one yet, have you?

Oh? Love it? It's so gross?

You did see it?

Yeah? And I show the filmmaker's previous movie Terrified.

Love Terrified, Terrified I think is better than that.

Sectually, Yeah, in a horror class and people, students really responded to Terrified and in fact it scared them.

That dining room table scene is wow, I got and when Evil Arcs is just oh, it's so grim and unrelenting.

I really liked it.

I'm glad you saw it and enjoyed it. That's pretty pretty rare, all right.

Pretty rare.

They I'll watch a movie, no that that.

Watch a movie that came out in the last five years that you actually enjoyed. Next up one that I'm sure you enjoy Arrow announcements. They got around to releasing The Shootest over in the UK. This is its first Blu Ray release over there. This came out in the US last year and it's the exact same disc, same packaging, same everything.

Any thoughts on the Shooters before we move on?

Absolute great movie, Don Siegel. The cast is amazing, Lauren McCall, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne Opie. It's and Scatman brothers John Carty. And it is a beautifully bittersweet send off for Wayne. This is his last movie. He plays a gunfighter who has terminal cancer. He had terminal cancer himself at the time, and it's haunting, but it's also entertaining and funny and just beautiful to see all of those actors together. I love the shootest. I got the American edition obviously nice.

Next up is Enemy Territory. This one is coming on August fourth over in the UK, only not getting a US release. This has still never had a US BLU ray yet. This is going to be coming with a new restoration from the thirty five millimeter negative by Aro. It is not a four K restoration. They would have touted that. It probably would have been a uhd I.

Have you seen this one?

No? But I just realized from looking at this this is directed by the guy who did Eliminators, I think so seriously, Eliminators is by far my favorite. That's not true re animators but non reanimator Empire Pictures movies. Eliminators great African Queen references. It's about a mandroid and a kung fu fighter and Denise Crosby and an Australian smuggler who have to fight a time traveling mad scientist a

Nice all right? Next up is Thief.

This is coming on four K over in the UK on August twenty fifth. This is the Michael Man film debut, actually, which is still wild to me that this is his first movie. This is basically just an upgrade of their previous release for Thief. You've got the theatrical theatrical cut on the Blu ray disc director's cut on the four K disc. Thief is amazing. Anybody that's not seen it, you should. James Cohn is incredible in this Tuesday World is amazing in this Yeah, great movie.

I have the criterion is there is this a different transfer?

It will be. It will be better looking on the arrow disc.

Definitely, it will be, or you think it will be.

No, I can guarantee it. If there is ever a UK release and a Criterion of the same film on the same format, always go with the UK release. Why because they have better encoding, Because Criterion never uses proper authoring or fidelity in motion?

Why because they're cheap. Why have you met Criterion?

I have everything they've ever put out.

Yeah, and that's a problem. Will this is an intervention?

I feel unmoored.

It's true, though, great film, great release. I'm definitely getting this one instead of the Criterion because I did not get the Criterion yet.

I feel it's too late for me to turn my life around. Everybody's laughing, all right, you know you go through life thinking that the world is a certain thing and then suddenly it's not. And what do you do? You know? Like, I'm defined now as middle aged, right and I read this. Ah, it's too late. It's too late for me. There's more behind me than there is in front, and I uh, I feel betrayed. I feel lost, and mainly I feel poor, And if anything motivates me

I really want to clip this and save it forever because that was a very great interaction.

All right. That was thief.

Next is the Texas chainsawm Asker from two thousand and three getting a four K in North America only from Arrow on August twenty sixth and UK release.

How they're North American encoding?

Well it's the same company.

Well they look great, yeah, but it's that.

So I knew this was going to be a thing. How do you feel about the remake? I'm sure you've seen it.

I have. How much do you hate it?

I'm just impressed with how strong was it. Jennifer Beal is that who's the star of this. I am impressed with how strongly the knot of her T shirt is tied, because it just stays right there no matter what, just holds, you know, Like, if you're going to a long sea voyage, I'd recommend Jennifer Beal as one of your shipmates, because

Didn't you because it was funny? Jennifer, how is that footloose? It's dirty dancing, dirty dancing that's with or flash dance, not dirty dancing flash dance. Well enough, we were just talking about footloose and another thing, and we've had the the eighties dancing all up in our heads. I guess Paul Verhoven, at least we're not spelling on slipcovers.

It's not full of Joe Estra House. That's what I'm trying to say. I wish that I wish that I were kidding. This is what's happening to me. So Jessica Biell, Jessica Bile can tying on, Jennifer Bial can dance anyway. Daniel Pearl, I feel like I saw this interview where he said that, and then I watched the remake and I felt like the cinematography was so needlessly ostentatious and didn't fit I mean that would have the original would not have it would not have that kind of flashy lighting,

I always laugh at, you know, the individual that think that films that had like a good idea but poor execution are the ones that should get remade.

And yeah, obviously logically that makes sense. Hollywood is never going to put money into that, so that's that's never gonna happen. So the sacred cows and the ones that people know are the ones that are even get remade. I don't hate this movie. I actually quite liked this movie because it was my generation. Basically, like I was sixteen when this came out. This is one that I saw, and it was me as a teenager watching basically this is one. I was shocked how many people hated this thing.

Movie reviled upon its theatrical release.

Well, the funny thing a lot of people that love physical media love really shitty movies, and to most people hate this.

Yeah, I knew it was reviled.

As it gets us back into what's a what's a good movie and what's what's a bad movie? Because I just held up a couple of jim Leynorski flicks, and uh, by any by any measurement, I think most people would call them shitty movies. But if he had made a shitty movie with the Texas Chainsaw Masaker's budget, then that would have been a different thing. Yeah. Uh yeah, I wasn't a fan, but but I'm not against remakes. If you give me a chance, I would love to remake The Godfather. But like Jen Alpha, you.

Know, give me a couple of lines, will Muh.

I know what I want to say, I know what I'm want to say, but I can't stop laughing. Uh. I just want to get I just want to get somebody doing Marlon Brando going to like one day that day may never come. I may ask you to skibbity toilet I want.

Anyways, Oh wow, Uh, I don't even know what say that. This one has a new commentary with Steve Barton and uh leave the Canoli. No cap this one.

I thought I was getting out drag me cap Okay, anyways, what's next? Another one in there? Or another one?

Come on? H So?

Yeah, new new commentary with Chris mc gibbon and Steve Barton. We've got a new interview with the director.

That's it.

That's how the gangsters would raise. Instead of shaking people down, they just do kickstarters. Go fund me, Go fundmere.

I hate seventeen streaked a little light on the funds. They got to go fund me.

Anyway. What else is on this piece of ship?

Oh, this is amazing.

It's nice to see them doing more and more like this because this film probably would not have got distribution without it.

Jennifer Gray, Jennifer Gray is dirty dancing.

Yes, Jennifer Beal's flashes, Jessica Beale seventh, I'll pronounce you Chuck and Larry.

I love that we both went to kind of opposite end of the spectrum there, Yes, yes, yes, Yes. August eleventh in the UK they're putting out a four K of Poseidon, speaking of remakes.

Who's that?

Ronald Neime? Is that a director?

That sounds right?

You know, a lot of fun. Not a great movie by any means, but of the Towering Inferno ILK you know disaster movies, and no one does water like Wolfgang Peterson, you know, perfect Storm, dost Boat. Yeah, so I really do want to see this nice nice So yeah, that is coming on August eleventh and twelfth from Arrow And then speaking of Texas Chainsaw Asker.

August twenty fifth in the UK, August twenty sixth in North America, there's a four K of the Texas Chainsaw Asker, the beginning from two thousand and six.

All right, beginning, Now, what is this? I know that this happened, but I didn't see it.

Yeah, it's got a twenty nineteen four K restoration from Studio Canal Imprint over in Australia releasing a giant release of David Lynch's Dune on four K and Blu ray. This is coming on July thirtieth. This is a crazy, crazy piece of like shelf Art.

This is. This is basically to rival like the Never Ending Story released from them. It's weighs a kilo and a half. It is huge. It's got sand in the box and a film and some other things.

Yeah, this looks like a really great release. I know there's a couple of people not super stoked because it doesn't have the Spice diver cut on it, and it doesn't have a couple of the other extras that run like the Arrow release and the German release. But yeah, if you're a major fan of Doune, here's another option.

You know, in Australia and Australia, it's a sho oi haloob Uh.

That was pretty good. That was pretty good.

Yes, it is bespoke, Gary and Brendon, I'm not being funny. There's actual sand in the cover of the box. Here, it's a crazy easy version of it. What do they say here? Tilt the panel to watch the sand spill. Run your fingers across the sand like grit textured surface of the hard box. That sounds like this is gonna be on a bearded film guys channel. Weirdly erotic, it's weirdly bespoke. Uh, you got sand in the box? You got a problem.

You know.

It looks all romantic. Let's make love on the beach. But it's not all it's cracked up to be. I'll tell you what.

Let's follow that up with some trash juice. On a June tenth, Bizarre Theater Releasing is putting out.

Trash in my life. Oh God, I crash Juice from twenty twenty. I can smell it through the Instagram.

Oh man.

This is a no holds barred dark comedy horror anthology told through a grotesque wraparound segment where a group of heroin addicts force a captured preacher to listen to their stories.

Oh that sounds unpleasant.

Moving right along.

August twelfth, Kino is releasing fil noir The Dark Side of Cinema Volume twenty six, moving ever so closely to that worshiped xxx version coming soon.

This will include Doctor Broadway.

They'll call that one film Kirra Noir, and.

This also has The Great Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby is also going to be getting a standalone Blu Ray release.

Noir film The Great Gatsby. I'm looking forward to Doctor Broadway, though, it's like I just I just feel like it's it couldn't be that dark.

It's like, I don't even know what Today We're.

Oh God, it's a good night.

H The film Doctor Broadway is gonna have a new commentary by Alan R. Kush and Daniel Kramer, and also has another audio commentary by Jeremy Arnold. Smooth of Silk gets a new audio commentary by Alan K.

I'll get it number twenty six. I didn't show this in our pickups, but I got another couple of those that went on sale. I've got They've got about twelve or thirteen of them.

At this point, Craig says, we're on fire tonight. Unfortunately, it means we'll get thirty minutes of sleep.

Yeah, how much? How much is left? We about halfway?

Uh yeah, about halfway? Only about like eighty six left on.

Eighty six, you buddy, Well, shoot, I apologize for my thoughtless use of common slang of kanda, as you did not mean to imply I was calling for your assassination.

I want to see people, instead of using eighty six, start using the word jettison.

Jettison, Yes, we should jettison this person.

That like Walmart security, don't make me jettison you at this store.

That's a lot of syllables to be thrown around in a Walmart.

That's the point. Uh.

Coming soon, Keino is releasing Hardware on four K, the Richard Stanley film that people have loved for years. Dylan McDermott is a bigger one on this. Also, Eggy Pop, Yeah, don't forget. They also got Dust Double coming up.

Four K they do?

They do? Wow, not not dated yet, but the both of them will be out fairly soon. Oh they're timeless. Literally no release date.

Yeah. Dylan McDermott now, literally every time I talk about him, I quickly shift into Dermott mulrooney mode. I want to make it clear I know who Dylan mc dermott is, and he is in this movie.

Their their names are very close, and they do get mixed up quite a bit by a lot of people.

Yeah, I did. I did a Christmas show for the Culture Cast, Yes, you did. What was the movie Miracle on thirty fourth Street?

Yeah, thirty fourth Street? The original? Speaking of Remax, it.

Was supposed to be the original, but I thought it was the remake, and the remake has Dylan McDermott, and so I had prepared for the wrong movie. But uh, we continued on with the conversation and I talked about the remake, which I've watched, and I said Dyla mc dermott like once or twice, and the whole rest of the podcast Dermott mol Romney. It was unfixable. So he just let it go. That is nobody even noticed.

That's hilarious. Next up, coming soon.

We don't have a release date on this yet, but there's a four K Blu ray digital package coming as an Amazon exclusive Ultimate Collection from Sony of the Karate Kid six film collecttion. This has all six of the films on four K. Now, this can be compared because there was a Karate Kid Trilogy four K set that has been out of print and fetching a lot of money on the second hand market, and that did not include the Next Karate Kid from ninety four. Now, this

Yeah. I think that's that's cool. The little display, Yeah, I hope it's not dinky. And I kind of liked The Next Karate Kid. You know, Oscar winner Jennifer Swank.

Yeah, oh.

Yes, Craig. It does have legends. Man, that was really funny. God, that was so hard not to start basically howling at then yes, all these comments about it not having the TV show. Unfortunately it's a Netflix show.

The odds are it will either never be released or they'll put it out for way too much money in years when people stop caring about it.

Thank you, Netflix. Uh, let's get into some ocean partner lates. Speaking of sequels, I was gonna buy this, but I don't have Edward of the first, so I said I'd wait.

Oh gosh, that was fun.

This is coming from Film movet Edward the second. This is from nineteen ninety one. This is a Derek Jarman movie, which, man, I've said that name more time than the last week that I think the rest.

Of my life combined. Because we talked about him earlier.

This is going to have a documentary featurete on Derek's Edward booklet with a new essay by Kyle Turner, essay by Bruce Lea Bruce in a prologue by the one and only Tilda Swinton.

I've not been able to see this one either, but Automatons is the first release from brand new partner label Glass Eye Pictures.

They're called like here we have Idaho sure La screening promo, director's commentary and a trailer. This one says, in the fall of twenty twenty, a struggling actor explores early Mormon historical sites as he anxiously awaits national broadcast of his Domino's Pizza commercial. And if that's not eclectic enough to you, you.

Quite arrested. Yeah, moving right along.

I f C releasing Dandy Lyon from twenty twenty four. This is a struggling singer songwriter falls into an intoxicating romance that leads her to a deeper appreciation of her artistic journey and the discovery of a voice that is authentically her own.

Yeah, there's nothing there's nothing worse than being around someone who's finding themselves, you know what I mean, Because it's just like, what, what are we going to talk about tonight? What's what's on your agenda? Oh? We're gonna talk about you?

Okay, I'm all ears.

Do you want to know what he did in nineteen ninety eight or twenty twenty five?

Start wherever you want. I'll listen until you're done.

Yes, Hillary Rodham Clinton is even in this. Supposedly one previously mentioned mister Brad Henderson might be in this as well.

This is a.

Fine collection to match up with the first volume that the did from Saturn's Core.

Looks like some great stuff. Yeah. I love what Saturn's Core does pretty much every time.

Yeah, they really are great.

Wow. Yeah, Shutter released.

A vinyl bundle and then they've also got two slipcover options for the film Destroy All Neighbors from twenty twenty four. This is the Joanah Ray Rodriguez film. It's also got Alex Winter in this, and uh, I think a small part with Kamil Najiohanny. I've not seen this yet. I really wanted to, but I am glad that Shutters.

Put in it out.

Yeah, some of my Shutter que I've.

Liked Jonah Jonah Jonah Ray for quite some time. I always want to say Joan Ryan because that's literally my kid.

That's a different This is different Joan Array than the Joan Hray that was mysters A right.

Nope, that is him. It's his actual last name.

Oh okay, uh shutters.

Also go ahead.

Jonah was the worst host, but I still like them.

I used to listen to the Nerdus podcast with him on it all the time.

Oh he's a funny guy.

Yeah, and his his comedy with Kumail was always great. Like the nerd Melt stuff, I.

Don't know what you're talking about, but okay, uh shutter is that internet stuff? Is that millennials?

Actually, well elder millennials.

Yeah, it's no, not Zeer's millennials millennials. The nerd Melt was a live comedy club in LA that shut down years ago, but they had a Comedy Central show that they did together Camil and Jonah Ray together. Sissy is the other Shutter title from this month. This is from twenty twenty two.

How many is we Got? We Got? And then just Sissy? Where did I go?

Well, you're you're right there, sir. The Meltdown, that's what it was called. Yes, and the venue is called nerd Melt. I believe, Uh so, Cissy says invited away on a Hen's weekend, Sissy is stuck in a remote cabin with her high school bully and a taste for revenge. Sicilia and Emma were tween age BFFs who were going to grow old together and never let anything come between them. That is until Emma's new friend, Alex, did just that when Cecilia became the target of Alex's bullying. For Sicily

Where I come from, Sissy is what you call like any female relative, like a sis. Come on, Sisy, let's go the store. I need a ride. You know, I'll get my license back for another six months. Go and get the truck.

You gotta go get it because I'm only allowed to be outside of the door for an hour and that clock runs fast. Uh, next one one, that man I am pretty damn excited for this one. Canadian International Picture is releasing The Devil at Your Heels from nineteen eighty one. This is a title that a lot of people have been very much touting and praising for years. This is Scannon restored in two K from the sixteen millimeters interpositive

CIP absolutely putting as much as they can on these discs, and it looks great.

So it's like a good double feature with Cronenberg's Fast Company. I would definitely do that.

Yeah.

Then we get another Blu ray release of Enter the Void, the Gaspernoe film. This is gonna have a new audio commentary by Elena Lazak. There's a new visual essay by Chris O'Neil, forty page book with new writing by Bill Gabiri, Kaden, Mark Gardner and Mark new Human. This is one that was previously released in the UK by Arrow, and I asked Justin about this. Supposedly this should look better than the Arrow release.

I can't keep up.

The other thing is there are new extras. This will never have a four K so many people commented, how is this not four K? This was not done in a format that could be on four K. Gaspernoe has said it will never be in four K. Justin said it would be impossible. This will never be on four K. This and the Arrow release are the two best releases this will likely ever have anywhere in the world. So if you're into Gaspernoe, if you want Into the Void and you're in Region A, this is the one to get.

So you're saying, there's a chance.

Thanks will thanks. Next up, Final Cut is coming this month from Umbrella.

This is a film that I am stoked to be seeing get a good release like this. It's a region free. Got an audio commentary with the producer Mike Williams, moderated by Shane Armstrong. Visual essay from Andrew Mercado. There's a not quite Hollywood interview booklet with an essay by Stephen Bagg and the original publicity materials. And I believe this also includes another film.

On here which one doesn't have.

I think it's Samson His Mighty Challenge. Yeah, also includes the English doube of the original Italian film Samson and his Mighty Challenge?

Is that what he calls it? Yes?

Next Factory twenty five putting up Kill the Moonlight from nineteen ninety five or another good possible pairing for the CIP release. It's a been a stock car racer who blows a rod and his car catches fire. This one's gonna have a director interview twenty four page booklet with an interview by the director and Matt Grady from Factory twenty five is in there. Paul says that's wrong. I believe that they were saying that is correct, and not to mention the listing says that it does have that

Thanks Paul.

I love the fact that it advertises that it's.

That description was from Hercules Returns and has nothing to do with the.

Same Oh we're back at Final Cut now I know what you're talking about. Yeah. I thought that was concusing too. It looked like somebody copy pasted the wrong thing. Final Cut does not have any Samson and is mighty at whatever in it.

Thanks Umbrella, ella A.

I love the fact that Kill the Moonlight is advertised as like having a line sampled in the Beck song Loser, but it does in fact, I'm a driver, I'm a winner. Things are going to change. I can feel it. That's the line I'm excited about, Kill the Moonlight. I haven't seen that in forever, well since like nineteen ninety six, which feels like forever because basically is oh my gosh, different world these kids don't understand.

Next title is from VHS Hitfest and it is The Killing Tide.

What are we laughing at now?

Nineteen ninety six? Just everything about it agreed.

This one says a corrupt share of schemes with city officials to obtain lucrative lake front property.

In a web of lies and intrigue, the sheriff tricks two killers into murdering his partners on the deal all in one night over the fourth of July. The Killing Tide never received the distribution that deserved when it was originally released, sadly falling into complete obscurity. We are so happy to release this one. One of the all time great low budget action films of the nineties and as soon to be cult classic, this one. There's a trailer out for it looks great.

Yeah, Dan from VHS Hipfest says this is full of like sleeves and nudity and great action, and yeah, this looks pretty great.

I'll tell you one thing. I don't recommend hiring professional killers, but if you do, you don't want offbeat ones. I want like odd beat, methodic, methodical, boring, straightforward, straight shooting, frankly killers. You know, I want the Killing Tide description anyway. So I'm just saying, if you're looking for someone into i don't know, kill a spouse or a boss or just a random person, and you and you meet an assassin who's off beat.

By the way, this is not legal advice, make.

A path pass. You know, I want. I want someone who's a little more bland.

On that note, the Killing Tide We'll also have a commentary with the actor Steve Jones, interview with a director, on interview with another one of the actors. There's a documentary from nineteen ninety five, and this is also a new transfer from the original Master Cool Limbo is the next title coming from Brainstorm Media and.

This has Simon Bats in it.

And this has an interview with a director and a bunch of people associated with the film and also has some behind the scenes footage and a booklet with new writing by Alexandra Heller Nicholas Ryan galland you don't know that Wayne World two is great.

Next.

Kimstem is another brand new partner label making their debut this month. They are putting out the film Ma Mayor from two thousand and four. Kimstim is a company that's released some.

Films on their own, and I'm sure this will get them a lot more notice. Now. My Mayor is one that a lot of people have been after it for quite some time.

This is a scandalous, notorious film. This is with Isabel Hubberts and it's got a trailer on here, an interview with the director.

Anything on My Mayor, Kimston there will.

Oh no, I just want to see it. I'm not familiar with this one, so that one, all right, good, looks really good to me.

Next up, Men of Deeds is the release from the Canalog this month, and this one. The trailer looked pretty good on this one, or maybe it was stills. I don't remember what it was on this, but yeah, this looked pretty dang good, says an audio commentary with the director from behind the scenes footage, promotional interviews, and then a student film from two thousand and seven from the director as well. Canalogue does pretty great stuff in general.

Rural hospitals ma'am, it can be a tough go.

Yeah, if you get a chance, you don't want offbeat hospitals. You probably want on beat, methodical, bland hospitals.

I'an'll tell you what. I was living in Lecture County, Kentucky, and I got the flu ro bad and got delirious because my fever. I was living alone. I must have passed out on the floor, woke up. It was winter. It was like six pm, but I thought it was six am, and I was trying to get ready for work. Didn't know where I was, and I called my mother, and I guess I must have just speak been speaking gibberish because she was like yelling at me to get

You know.

There's half of me being sold on the black market. Where's my leg?

You know.

We're a hospitals. Stuff can happen and nobody will know. There's not a centralized reporting mechanism. They don't even have the internet, you know what I mean?

Yes, yes, I do.

I really thought this was a jokey anecdote when you first started.

No, this really happened to me. Everything I've just said is true. Surrounding looks interesting. I mean, that's the kind of thing, that's the kind of atmosphere where I really get, like, you know.

Cubric lovers here. You just got inflatable sext all at the Wastelands. It's a good release.

It's amazing actually.

Next the film that we talked about at the top of the hour, Mark Terry, Samurai Priest Vampire Hunter. This is got some names in it you'll recognize, like Tiffany Sheppis.

We already talked about.

It two audio commentaries with Mark Terry and Mike. We've got a featured on the film restoration and a bunch of extras on this, a lot more than usual on the ETR releases.

And yeah, looks like a fun one.

This one sold very well this month. AGFA releasing Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers from nineteen seventy two. This says Eternal trans Icon and Warhol Superstar Hollywood Lawn is a riot and scare Corona Garden of Cucumbers, a long lost comedy musical that has been lovingly restored by the Academy Film Archive. Holly Stars is a small town Kansas girl. He tries to make it big or at least find a roommate in New York City. One of the first treasures with a trans sorry, one of the first features

Yeah, this was a absolute must.

Yeah, that's great.

You spent like twenty four minutes telling a dizzying hospital anecdote.

I was then I had a joke, but I just I was like, you know what, now, I'm gonna let this one go. This this, this is a movie of historical importance and should be not that. What was the other movie, Rounding Round Rounders? That's the Poker movie. Not that rounding isn't important, but we don't know yet if it's a classic. So I felt I felt like I had license to tell my story. I mean, I got all kinds of stories that'll be relevant to this film.

But yes, all right, Moving right along from Scarecrow and Gums. Next one is.

The release from Bleeding Skull for this month, and it's Sorrow Alien Hitchhiker from nineteen ninety six.

Did they call elderly mermaids, mermatrons.

Mermaphrodites.

I don't know if you can say that.

You took that from the complete innocent way that I meant it and made it so different. Okay, let's talk about sir, sir s Okay, it is hard to see tonight.

If the B fifty two is collaborated with Negative Land on an Alt Earth version of Star Trek, it would feel a lot like Cerro Alien Hitchhiker, a mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul, a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named siro A wash in LSD tinged visuals, a pulsing acid house soundtrack. This is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and queer exploration.

Was this the movie that was in Dirty Work?

Not quite commentary with the director moderated by Annie Choi from Bleeding Skull. Bonus movie Desert Spirits from nineteen ninety four restored from the original sixteen millimeters elements, and then we've got short films restored from the original elements as well booklet reproducing of the nineteen ninety six press kit.

I mean this looks really great.

Yeah. I also love Negative Land, YEP and B fifty twos. I saw them in concert right before the pandemic.

I am shocked they sound identical to their original recording.

Still, yeah, it was great. Oh you know, it was funny. This is a weird plug. So this was like the fall before the pandemic, right and B fifty twos were doing their last tour with Berlin and orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, and so we went to see it and it was great. And I happened to be wearing the vinegar syndrome black flag bars with the float with the instead of the bars that's the film strips and this dude walks by me. He's like, yo, Blood Flag, and I'm like, am I about to get beat up at

Did they did they change the name of The Blind, Deaf and Dumb Tiger.

No Hangar eighteen nineteen. I don't even know what I mean.

It's a mega death reference.

Oh okay, I'm not a I saw diacide there, though well heavier. I don't know if Mega Death can handle that shit.

Probably not. Uh.

Next up, Connie putting out Tokyo Uber Blues from twenty twenty one. This says Unemployed in the wake of the pandemic, twenty six year old filmmaker Taku Aogi decides to try his luck in Tokyo. Short on worldly possessions but a bike and a phone, he becomes an Uber Eats writer.

First of all, way to go Ryan Gals. Ministry are having a renaissance somehow Al Jurgensen found the Fountain of youth and just you know, he looks kind of like Mamra from ThunderCats now, but like in a good way. And uh, I love check out ministries, like new re recordings of their early synthpop stuff. It sounds fantastic. But anyways, Tokyo Uber Blues.

I'm sorry the moment you said Mamra, I almost said, wasn't that the pharaoh from ninth the museum?

Just to be an idiot? And I can't stop laughing inside.

The old version of Mamra and there. But but like he looks good, he looks good, and he's got a good sense of humor. I saw him with the Melvins about a year ago. And you know Ministry first two CDs I ever bought right CDs. So this is nineteen ninety one, ninety two.

For me, I was you were what twenty eight twenty nights?

I was like twelve thirteen, so ninety ninety one my life with the thrill co called sex Explosion and Ministry Psalm sixty nine. Those were my That's it. That explains everything.

Yep, it really does.

You got the theatrical cut on this disc age introduction from the director. There's a TV cut on here that's fifty two minutes long with an optional audio description. We've got the road, he walks the story of hekuon that's forty seven minutes. Performance of Tokyo Uber Blues by the composer theatrical Q and A.

Jack's trying to uh, I.

Just got well, I got well? Actually, ask me how many songs I can name three songs.

There's also a booklet in the Connie release.

Hey, I didn't mean to take attention away from Connie, because I love They're one of my favorite of labels. This is automatic. Any CONNYE release is automatic for me. And this this looks pretty cool.

Great looking slip too, really good. Uh.

Next, we got a couple catalog slip covers. First one is Shiva Baby from Utopia, a film.

That it's not stabbing you.

Yes, Shiva, they say Shiva in the film, they.

Say shiven Oh because it's oops. Yep, you're right.

Uh.

What a great slip that is? Oh man?

Yeah, catalog slipcover from Utopia looks great. The The big thing that frustrated some people is just like in you really lost it, just.

Like during the.

Oh yeah, just like in the halfway to Black Friday sale when VS introduced some new slips. These ones cannot be purchased on their own, so if you already had the standard and want the slip, you have to buy the whole thing all over again.

Okay, that's that's kind.

Of bullshit, but okay, Yeah, and during the halfway sale they were saying, well, it's contracts. We can't always do that, and it was MGM title, so that kind of made sense. This isn't an MGM title, so I don't know if it makes much sense on this.

Well, if it were like five dollars and you could get the slip by itself, I would get it.

And then Canadian International Pictures also has a catalog slip of Gina, and the art on this is frick and gorgeous.

Same thing.

Can't purchase it on its own, has to be with the movie and I already have Gina.

So it's kind of like punishing you for being a loyal customer in a way.

In a way, yeah, no offense, but I agree, Jim, I really like this slip on Gena, so it goes, So it goes.

Bleeding Skull put out a logo tee this month and then if you really love the film.

Bo.

No if it's you and it's a womannequin.

They also put out a blonde death tea, which I know made Kep Bonesy very happy and he bought it while he was with me, So yeah, that looks like a solid one.

I wish more of these partner labels would release logo teas. They should. They're good stuff.

They also had some of these deluxe led VHS releases. We got Calvert and Skateboard released this moment, and that is it for Ocean. So any thoughts show h whoops, any thoughts on Ocean for this month overall?

I mean it's a great, great month. What was it, twenty two releases?

Yeah, I believe so yeah.

So you know, I hope you all have second jobs.

If you're buying all of them, Yes, you absolutely need them.

And so you know, we've been we've talked about this, well, we talk about it every month. How amazing it is that the OCN, the partner labels give us access to so many contemporary and recent films that we might not have access to at all otherwise.

Right, So I agree.

Uh, we're about to talk about a couple really great Deaf Crocodile titles, but before we do, def Crocodile last week announced on their social media's that they were running a giveaway for the release that they just sent out, which some people have been getting in the mail and others will probably have that be shipping here.

Soon, I believe.

And it is a pretty great release, The Treasures of Soviet Animation Volume one. They're giving away one of their deluxe box sets for this release, and it was very simple to join and be included on this. It was a random draw and we pulled a winner, and the winner is the Instagram user uk I k a r Eha. No idea how to pronounce that you kick a reha, That's what I'm gonna say. This is one that Congratulations,

Will you okay?

You kick Korea?

Yeah, your kik area. Congratulations. All right, let's get back to it. First, June twentieth is gonna be the pre order date of these two releases, so you can't preorder these yet. You got about a two week wait and then they will be up and then they will be shipping in the following month.

First one is The Pied Piper and Yeerie Barta shorts.

That movie is incredible, Yes, yes it is. When the real rats come out, I'm just like, what am I watching? I am watching the most genius cinema in the history of cinema.

It's truly a beautiful movie.

It's it's incredible.

So this is a basically it's got the same disc that they released under when Went they were with OCEN. And then there's a second disc that is longer than everything that was on this first disc.

Gary. These will be up for pre order on June twentieth. June twentieth, so on.

This one, the first disc is the same as they put out with OCN, and then on the second disc there are six brand newly restored Jerry Barta shortz that Craig from Deaf Crocodile restored himself. We've got riddles for a candy disc jockey design, a ballot about green Wood, the Last Theft, and the Club of the laid Off. There's a new video interview with Jerry Barta on here about his short films, new visual essay that's narrated by Arena Kovarova and Peter Hayms, and then brand new artwork

We've got the.

Vanished World of Gloves that's on the first disc that I love, and then the last Theft on the second disc is wild. People are going to find so much to love in this. It is such a great release. Please check this out when it goes up for pre order. I cannot wait to have this.

Yeah, I can't wait to look into these shorts. Unbelievable.

And if that's not enough, we also get to talk about The Devil's Bride, also going up for pre order on June twentieth. Oh look at that, Craig says, for convenience, they put Gloves on the second disc that was on the first diction as well, so all of the shorts are on disc two, so you got two copies of gloves Nice.

So The Devil's Bride.

This is going up for pre order on June twentieth from Deaf Crocodile as well deluxe edition box with incredible art. This is from nineteen seventy four and it's a Lithuanian rock opera.

The Lithuanian Rock Opera, the first.

One tell us about the Devil's Bride.

Will oh, I love this movie. This was such a pleasure to work on. We did a visual essay called the One who Carries a Tune that's a quote from the film Rock and Roll Sessions and The Devil's Bride. Of course, at this time, Lithuania was, you know, under

The from ring one literally opens and you're taken by the setting.

It's it's it's compared sometimes to Jesus Christ Superstar because that film had just been shown in in uh some some limited contexts in Lithuania, and it really kind of inspired along with just rock and roll in general, smuggled records and listening to radio free channels. I can't recommend this one enough. Whether we worked on it or not, it's just such an important historical document and such a

It's true.

So this has a new interview with Monica edgar on here about her father's career, who is the director of Runus and Brunus. We've got a new video interview with Lithuanian film critic Iava Suki about the history of Lithuanian cinema, our visual essays on here. There's also an audio commentary that's not listed here that is on the disc by Michael Brooke, incredible Eastern European the essayist and commentator who

But again, beautiful movie.

There's comparisons to Ken Russell in the descriptions. There's so much about this that I could recommend. It's you know, we said the same thing about serious. This is definitely a sumptuous film. This whole movie is a visual feast. It's got a couple of really funny site gags that it does in a couple scenes, but it is beautiful storytelling.

I'll tell you one thing, man, and I'll say this knowing Craig is listening too, because it's this is a fact. Anybody who feels like they don't know enough about world history should get involved with Deaf Crocodile because I think I've read more books in the past year and a half about about world history than than my entire life up to this point. You know that these films are not just wonderful in their own right. And if you're like completely against learning new things, you can still enjoy

That the.

First sign of smartness is knowing that you know own nothing. Operation Ivy also expressed this, and I want to express it now in the context of watching Deaf Crocodile. Movies.

It's a humbling and rewarding experience. I would agree. Oh my gosh, you agree.

Craig's comment is very exciting because those are the two continents that need the most attention of all.

He says, they're trying to fill in the embarrassingly large gaps in South America and Africa and their releases, and all I got to say, the next like sixteen months of releases from Deaf Crocodile look.

Very very exciting. Oh my god, Ronnie is happy with the op Ivy reverence so much. Yeah, after life.

Oh and let me tell you man back to Malcolm McDowell. That guy, that guy could not have been happier to talk about his experience working with Corin Shack NAZAARV on The Assassin of the Czar. So thanks Steph Crocodile, you gave me. You gave me a way to become best friends with Malcolm McDowell. Nice.

All right, Well, thankfully we still only have eighty six releases to cover, so let's keep going.

Oh my god, you know what you guys get. I've been so like I've been for years. I've been wondering who would get it. So you know, if you have it say nothing Los Alvidados, Louise bin Well's classic Mexican film to me, the holy Grail of unreleased Louis Binwell films, Los Alvidados, The Forgotten.

All right, Hopefully Craig is taking notes.

On Sleepway Camp. Speaking of Forgotten, Pamela Springsteen is so good in these movies, and listen Felicita Rose is an icon. Yes, absolutely, she comes first, but I think Springsteen is great in these these films, all right.

Going August twelfth, four K release coming of sleep Away Camp two Unhappy Campers from nineteen eighty eight. This is a four K release only it does not have a Blu Ray disc. The reason for that is because Sandpiper Pictures released a Blu ray, shout Factory could not get rights for.

The Blu ray.

While Sandpiper holds that this is a new four K restoration of the thirty five millimeter interpositive, not of an ocen. It's presented with Dolby Vision, It's got an audio all kinds of extras that were on the last release. It's got a new looking at the making of the film with counselor Jeff Hayes, author of sleep Away Camp, Making

It makes no like the YouTube podcaster or something.

That was good, that was good. Yeah, this whole thing is a joke.

There's a bunch of other people out there making full videos like shitting on Screen Factory, which they deserve it for a lot of things.

This is necessarily one of them.

I want to interject something. I'm not saying it was because of you, but in this slate that we're about to go through of shouting screen Factory releases, which objectively is one of the best slates in a long time. How many a March, how many lobby cards and art cards are there?

I can't get a single one, and I'm very happy with that, not a one. I will have some other things to beat for.

I salute you Ryan Barrel for your continued campaign against sloppy cards.

I hope that somebody sent a couple of those clips and they're just like, listen, the people do not want lobby cards. So yeah, this whole John controversy is blown way out of proportion.

You know, they didn't ask They didn't ask my sister, professional editor on a multi Emmy nominated documentary to be on this either, and she wrote her senior term paper about the sleep Boy Camp franchise. I can't believe that she wasn't asked to be on board. I boycott, Yeah, hell no, I'm buying this, of course, I am.

Yeah.

I don't even know what to say about all all of that. It doesn't deserve the attention that it got. People just I feel like wanted a reason to complain about these. It is shocked, shocking, I guess to say that these got four K releases and that were able to split these out by format, and while Sandpiper has Blu ray rights that were able to get good four K releases, when the Sandpiper releases suck so much, So be okay with it?

Hey on, where are you going with that gun in your hand?

Not to mention, a screen factory usually just upgrades things to four K and doesn't do anything new.

These got new extras that that's a plus.

So now you know what I feel like we're piling on And you know that guy's a human being and what's he guilty of caring too much? And I'm not going to fault him for that. I would be disappointed too if I ran a semi popular fan site and was an approach to be on the disc. So I just want to say to the camera, John, if you're out there, I know we just made a bunch of jokes man, It's part of the format. Don't take it personal. I get it, I get it all right. Three Michael J. Pollard, Dude, Michael J.

Pollard, Sleepway Camp three Teenage Wasteland also coming on August twelfth on four K again new Blue no Blu ray disc. This does have a new interview with songwriter performer John Alton.

That's it.

Nothing else on here is new again only four K disc but better than the Sandpiper Blue.

Fun fact. The movie was originally called sleep Bwoy Camp three Baba O'Reilly, but they found that nobody knew what they were talking about, and they.

That's such a good joke. I thank you. Wow, that was so good.

This is where I start to bitch about screen Factory because this is just ridiculous. So for the Sleepway Camp movies, you can buy two and three with a poster that is double sided. Uh, They've got the sleep Away Camp two poster on one side and the Sleepway Camp three poster on the other. If you're buying this, it's probably because you like both movies and now you can't hang both posters.

Well you can if you put them on a window. Think about it, Ryan, If you're a Sleepway Camp fanatic, you probably want to cover your windows anyway.

Okay, what's funny?

So I didn't mean to steal your thunder, but problem solved.

They also did this lithograph looking thing with both titles on one so you're getting you are getting two posters, but one of them has two and three on reverse sides, and then one has two and three together on one side.

Well, I can't wait to see what you have to say about black splitation twos poster keep.

Going, Yeah, this is a this is a bad decision.

Uh charge us an extra fifty dollars and print too. Goddamn posters, fifty dollars.

You should have been free.

All right. What's about to happen is gonna surprise You're.

Going for the second time.

August twelfth, Jesus August twelve, four K release of World Trade Center from two thousand and six. The oliver Stone which shout factory is seemingly all of a sudden, the oliver Stone Distribution Company. This is coming out on four K. This has a four K disc, Blu ray disc. All kinds of new interviews on the Blu ray disc. This has so much on here. We got multiple audio commentaries, tons of new interviews, including one with John Burnhal What did you just mute to do? I'm so curious. It's

I agree with Stangeeze. It's really good, all right. It's a you know, I'm not a jingoist, but it's not that kind of a movie. It's it's it's really well made, and you know, I like it as a companion piece with W, which I think is one of the most underrated Oliver Stone films and is in some ways a remake of Louis ban Well. Speaking of Louisman Well's discrete

Next is we are getting a wide release now of Drag Me to Hell the four K Steel Book and The Strangers the four K Steel Book. These were both previously Walmart exclusive releases.

Now you can get them anywhere.

Shout Factory just kind of toy with everybody on these, a lot of people getting upset with how they're doing steel books. I'm not buying them really, so I get it, But I mean, we're gonna see in just a minute one of the crappy things they're doing. But yeah, now you can get this anywhere. But let's talk about that Black Exploitation Classics Volume two because this is coming in four k.

Okay, yeah, I like dragging to he continue.

We already talked about it when it got previously release August nineteenth. This is the second box set already. The first one, like is just shipping to everybody, and this one has yes.

The titles Foxy Brown, why don't you go through?

And then I can't see it here it's too small. I gotta go full scream, But then I won't we will to see the chat. Okay, So Foxy Brown and Fredday Foster along with Coffee and the first set that gives you arguably the three most important Pam Greer titles. I'm a Big Sheba baby fan, William Girdler represent but.

Oh Cotton comes to Harlem fucked down the Slaughter films?

Are you getting me?

Are you?

The only way this could be better if it would be if the mac was in it, which hey, maybe three and you know what if if you gotta if you've got to continue with that box art in order to juctify the restorations. Fine, but I will, I will join in with the chorus. There extras on some of the films. We you know, we're we're here. We some of us teach these films in classes, you know. I uh, I got a lot, I got a lot on these movies. I'm so happy that. Obviously, the movie is the most

Yeah, like twenty two bucks something like that for each basically, Yeah, though I don't the back of the poster is kind of silly, with the six mini posters and Black Exploitation Classics Volume two.

That that is kind of silly.

I do think it's hilarious that we everybody complained about the artist on the first box and they said, you know what, fine, you're not getting any art moving forward. But the supplemental features is really the biggest thing here, the fact that we we get nothing new and yet they they literally poort over essentially all that they could on the these barely cobbled together Blu ray releases that came out previously. So we've got like a commentary with

Yeah, as you go through, I mean, there's nothing on Cotton comes to There's nothing, nothing on most of them. The documentary looks great, part two of the documentary, but yeah, you know, all of these films deserve at the very least a commentary. And I don't know, I think there's a ton of podcasters and fansite operators and struggling academics out there who'd like to produce that kind of material.

You know, I got to be honest, I definitely want to give credit where credit's due because I've put Shout down many many times to choose to put out two box sets of blaxploitation classics that are true b exploitation classics and not just like Z grade bad movies that most people have never heard of, and that they're going to big titles first. This is a huge deal, and Shout is incredible for doing this, I gotta be honest.

Was that a veiled reference to Severn's release of Blackenstein.

No, although, on that note, if they if they do get a volume three and it happens to have Abby, the world will.

Explo Speaking of William Gerbler classics, yeah, oh my gosh, just to a William Gerdler blackxploitation set. They would only have two movies in them, but it'd be.

Good all right. So that's blaxploitation classics. Uh.

Oh, it's also time to talk about Death Stocker and Death Stoker two coming in the most surprising four K release from Shout ever, probably August twenty sixth. And yeah, and a four K do feature Uh, some Worski verse stuff.

Well, the only surprising thing is that you've poisoned the well with Shouts so much that they ignored the Winorski stand that has been knocking on their door for years. Desktalker two is probably Winorski's best movie. Desktalker one is a vestigial uh ear lobe that that cannot be sliced away. I don't care for the first desk Stalker. It has nothing to do with the second Desk Stalker. The best scenes of the original Desk Stalker are in are also

Yeah, I think it's the third.

So it's definite for me. If you're a casual fan of the Desktalker films and you already have the Blu ray, then it's probably not necessary. But I prefer to see my Why Norsky films in this sharp definition as possible. It's I cannot say who or what was said, but we got some choice Jim Way Norski stories from some guys who worked on some of his films in a recent interview that I don't think we're going to be

Yeah.

Anyway, this is a Happy Day Death Stalker two duel of Titans. If you've never seen it, please do.

Next up, we've got our first single title from the Hong Kong Cinema Classics line that Shout is doing. They had the Jetly box set that they previously announced now August twenty sixth a four K and Blu Ray dual format release.

You're welcome. I'm eighty seven's City on Fire.

I manifested this. This I take credit for this.

How is that?

It was in my wish list that I did on the New Year's Oh nice? Yeah yeah.

Ringo Lamb directing Chow Yun Fat starring City on Fires. One that has been.

Wish listed thousands of times over the years until Will did it and manifested it.

So thank you.

This is great. This is great too. If you've ever seen Reservoir Dogs and you want to see the good movie that they describe, this is it.

So we got our first glimpse at what they're going to do to treat these single releases. Like first, we got a new audio commentary with Frank Jang and f Jada Santo.

That's great.

The Blu ray disc is going to have new subtitles. That's on the four K disc as well. I don't know why I said it like that. It's got that brand new commentary and then a new interview with the screenwriter Tommy Sham New Hong Kong Confidential, Inside City on Fire with author Grady Hendrix, which is gonna be great, interview with Rick Myers, and then an interview with Kim Newman.

Lots of stuff on this disc. I'm glad they are treating as well. It seems like, I mean, this looks great. It's got like one of the original posters on here. I know some people in the chat here don't love the cover, but second one purchase looks like a non region one Blu ray. Yeah, because it's it's original poster arc. Yeah, this is incredible. Yeah, I really like the movie. That's one of Ringo Lamb's best.

So, now, again this is not a digg As Shout, but we got to have the conversation because we did get the announcement that Arrow bought the rights for these over in the UK, and so Aero is going to be releasing almost every single thing that Shout is releasing in the US, and a lot of people prefer Arrows packaging Slash art choices slash if they don't, we don't know if they're gonna be identical extras for me. I'm probably gonna wait for an arrow release on City of.

Can't let it go? Can you?

I can't. Those lobby carts have poisoned the will.

They got rid of lobby cards? Why are you holding them to the past.

Because they've ruined so much for that cardboard.

You just can't forgive.

I can't.

What's sad?

All right? Next up?

If that's simply not enough, Shaw Brothers Classics Volume seven, Volume seven. When this box set gets released, they will have h we're up to. I think it's like eighty nine films from Shaw Brothers the Shout has now put out, which is insanity for how quickly they've done that.

That's like sixteen nine plus twenty right, nice?

Nice?

Wow? Why dof youople watch the show? I have no idea?

So yeah, eleven films in each of these Show Brothers boxes. This one has the Imperial Tumor, this one as Legend of the Bat, the Shadow Boxer, the Spiritual Boxer, Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, two shoolin Handlock Swordsman and Enchantress, the Proud Twins, a Deadly Secret, and then all the way at the end, heroes shed no tears. All of these get new extras. Uh, they don't hold back on anything. These box sets.

They got, They got the mudge Man on every single one they do. I'm saying, go back to the Black Exploitation and we're how are we supposed to interpret this? Yep, you know, we're just gonna let some of these films languish with no supplementals.

And then they announced the Mario Baba boxet and some of those films got four brand new commentaries.

IDA have questions about that, but that's not for this week.

As no, no, it's not so Yeah, this is this is crazy, ridiculously great box sets. They are doing so well with these eleven films in each one. We're up to just from these seven box sets, seventy seven titles. And the crazy thing, it's no crossover with Aero stuff. So if you're collecting the Shoscope stuff.

You've got just a wealth of great films that you can watch from Shaw Brothers studios.

I have all three of the Shoscopes, and I don't have any of the Shaw Brothers classics, And so what I've started doing is every time I get paid, I go to the gas station and play the lottery until I run out of money and eventually, I mean statistically, I have to win someday. Can you imagine Norm McDonald had a whole routine about, uh, given a lottery ticket as a gift, you know, and it's like, here's nothing, because like what kind of nightmare would it be if

Watch somebody quit on the spot, Oh my god, from a ticket that he gave them.

Yeah, I mean, I want it to be me, but if it couldn't be me, definitely somebody from like housekeeping custodium, so that they could stand up and say everything that they've wanted to say for years to these entitled abusive administrative warts. All right, anyway, this looks like a great set. I love Shaw Brothers stuff, and if I ever win the lottery, I'm just gonna get all seven at once.

Fuck it, let's take a break from shout for just a moment. Lionsgate Limited is having their first sale over on their website.

It is a Father's Day sale. It is happening. Now.

They've got five releases on sale. That's it, the five that you see in the picture. We've got The Conversation, The Third Man, Reservoir Dogs, Your Next, and Den of Thieves. Now, for a lot of people, this was very overwhelming because this was not a great sale. It's forty percent off of MSRP. But for like the Conversation, it brought it down to I think sixty dollars from eighty. For Reservoir Dogs,

Back to Shout though Father's Day, the holiday where you get yourself a presents me August twelfth, just just say you know, I bought my own card today. Ouch.

August twelfth, Shout Factory is it's.

Gonna be funny. I'm gonna have to fill it out myself too.

Good lord. August twelve.

Shout Factory is doing an Amazon exclusive four case steel book for John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars.

Mexic Funk much maligned. Mexicfunk is the one that did the art for this, and just like the film, the art is much maligned. Most people seem to hate this.

It looks like that one season of Walking Dead. I'll admit that.

Well, if that's not enough to get you enticed, they are also doing prints of Darkness, a four K steel book, same artists Mexico's.

Yeah, that's misleading, just.

A little misleading about the film.

Yeah, I feel like the artists didn't necessarily watch it all the way through. That is possible, but at least they're not advertising it as as sample than Marilyn Manson.

And starring Alice Cooper.

Co starring.

Yes, that was the joke. He absolutely is not star in that movie. So here's the thing.

A lot of people are steel book fanatics, steel book collectors for shout. Releasing a four K steel book months later or even like two months later kind of sucks if you're gonna put out a steel book in the regular release of the film. Doing both at the same time so people can make an informed decision, that is what some people want to do.

Yep. Well, I'll say Prince of Darkness great movie. Ghosts of Mars not a great movie, but worth another shot.

Mutual friend of ours, mister stan Geezy doesn't seem to like Prince of Darkness.

I love this movie.

We diverge, mister easy.

I didn't love this movie until I saw it on the big screen. This one absolutely changed my feeling on it. Speaking of feelings, oh God. September fifteenth, Kurzone over in

Curious story about that. But I tell you, man, usually when I pay to have my emotions toyed with, I have to promise not to look or in the eye, and so I like that I'll be able to buy this and look wherever I want Funny Games. I think I told this story at some point in the God, how long have I been on this show? Two years? Three?

At at least two and a half hours?

Yeah? No, no years? Oh oh yeah yeah. So in the year two thousand and eight, right, that's when it came out, right, Funny Games two thousand and seven. Two thousand and seven, yep, okay. I was in San Francisco for a conference, and I was supposed to go to this conference with my old college mentor, Jeff, and Jeff was unable to attend because he had gotten sick and was in a coma and they thought he was going to die, and so I went by myself, and I was feeling a little unsure about what was going to

No, No, Jennifer Bials, No, the funny Sarah Silverman, no, stop it.

Best show. Jane Lynch. Jane Lynch. Great scene of Adam Krola and Jane Lynch in line together at Low's or home depot having a discussion over the which types of nails to use and constructing in the outbuilding Anyway, I get back home and Jeff has come out of his coma, and like they thought he was going to die so much, the priest was there to do last rites came out of his coma. I went to see him in the hospital and the first thing that some bitch said to me was how much to value you for the hotel?

Who knew that Michael Hannikus stuff would bring tears to our eyes? As we talked about last week on the show Bearded Film Guy. Chris's show Beyond the Blood is now on the podcast network Someone's Favorite Productions.

Welcome Chris and everybody. Yeah this is really cool. Check out their show.

It is available everywhere you get your podcast. Yeah good stuff. MVD rewind announced that on September sixteenth on Blu ray and DVD they are releasing Best Christmas Movies Ever from twenty twenty four. It's a festive feature length movie that takes you inside the making of your favorite holiday classics. It's a bit of a documentary. You got an audio commentary out here with the director, deleted and extended scenes, and collectible mini poster as usual, and some other featurettes.

Well in that case, I'd like to move it, move it along.

As we did.

July twenty ninth, Universal releasing another four K steal book for the film Nobody to take a chance at making some more money since the sequel is coming out this year, and it's the exact same disc as the first one, just in a fancy new four kse deal book.

Yeah, you know, if you kind of like John Wick, but you felt like you wanted someone who looked less capable of fighting, This is the movie for you.

And then even then five almost five years later, they'll film a sequel to it when he's even less capable.

Better call somebody else.

That's pretty good.

July eighth, four K Blu ray DVD releases of The Amateur from this year, The Romie Malik and Laurence Fishburne Amateur spy intelligence type of film. I heard this is pretty decent, have not seen it. It's actually got some good extras here.

Uh. The Fox recently given a four K release to this is pretty surprising.

Well, the the premise that he would win a fight as pretty surprising.

That's true, that's true.

What is he like? A data analyst and he can't get anybody to help him, so he's like, fuck it, I'm going to become wellsponible.

Somebody had to kill his wife first to get him to hulk up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. That's I don't know. I don't know if that would be most guys reactions.

All right, we only have eighty six more announcements tonight, so here we go. How about for though a lot still really oh.

Yeah, jeez, well I guess I should stop being entertaining.

We still have thirty left. August twelfth, Blu Red coming to the US watching, tons of people still watching. They love you will well.

That's on them.

Blood Dolls coming from Full Moon on August twelfth, Charles Band's outrageous nineteen ninety nine hard rock devil Doll classic and if you want and you go to full Moon, you can purchase for fifty dollars and it will come with They signed one sixth scale pimp doll with the Blu Ray.

You don't pay him the money directly, though, you got to go through a third party.

Go get to the guy around the corner.

Yeah, yeah, I want to get that blood doll. Have you seen I don't know no blood doll. I don't know. I don't know no blood doll.

Are you a distributor? If I ask for your distributor, you have to tell me no.

I'm a jed. I really want a blood though, all right? Follow me?

Yeah?

You want some heroin?

Why? I mean?

I know it's Charles Band and that's the answer here. But it literally says act now. I love that on a Blu Ray promo.

I love that. It's meaningless, but we know what it means.

It's it's like that basically is the Charlie banded signature.

John Carpenter once said that if there was an apocalypse, he was sure that two species would survive, cockroaches and Charles's band I think it was a compliment. I don't know, but either way he'll still be around.

Wow.

June twenty fourth, Jinga Films is releasing The Bunny Game. Normally I don't post many things from Jinga Films, but the Bunny Game is one that people have been wanting a good blu ray release of. This is Adam Raymeyer, who also.

Did what is this the movie I'm thinking of? Probably Torture? Yes it is?

Yeah, Oh, where's the four k?

Adam Raymeyer has gotten popular because his last two films have been incredible. He did Snackshack and he did Dinner in America. Both are incredible, and now you can get his twenty eleven very different than those two film, The Bunny Game.

Yeah, this one. You know, if you're a fan of Bob's Burgers but you wish you were darker, this is your chance.

Oh man, does that mean it's inspired by Louise Bonwell?

People listening on the podcast. Aren't going to get that. The people who are watching are gonna be like that was funny. I'll catch it in.

Did you read it?

I'm just kidding.

I was kind of against this, but I had somebody suggest it. I put up a shirt with a different logo for the Disconnected for Pride Month and uh forever. This is going to be available on the shop, and all proceeds from this always will get donated to the Trevor Project in full. So if you check this out, yeah, all that goes donated, nothing, nothing coming back to me. And I'm I'm gonna be doing what I can to add more to it every single time.

So this is for the Blue Days.

Yeah, the eighties and gentlemen.

Uh the four Days, the four.

They wait wait wait they all got four day upgrades.

I hope, so because they deserve it. Listen, Look, I want to be serious for a second. I know several people hate it when I say anything vaguely connected to reality, but that some bitch Secretary of Defense with the palmade and the makeup trailer next to his office, just ordered Harvey Milk's name to be taken off of the naval carrier that was named after him, and he ordered it on June the first. So, you know, you tell me what it means. And I find that, I mean all

Back to the show House of the Devil, beautifully slow paced Dark Sky Selects.

We haven't heard anything from them for a long time since everybody complained about their fake chainsaw that costs two hundred dollars, And now they are back with a Blu ray steel book for House of the Devil. And this one ruffled some people's feathers because they were excited that they had the second site release and they didn't have to worry about this. But now this got four brand new extras as well. So if you really love ty West or this film, there are three now releases this movie.

I like this one.

Well, we've talked about ty West before.

So we have Are you ready to talk about Trauma?

Oh?

Yeah, Shakespeare's shit Storm Finally after five years, getting a home video release coming on September sixteenth on four K blu ray from Trauma with an intro by Lloyd Kaufman, producers and cast commentaries, heaping serving of Trauma trailers Radiation March. I've been traumatized Trauma in Times Square, full length behind the scenes doc and more.

You have you seen this one yet?

So I just noticed that it had been added to my Trauma Now I do subscribe to Trauma. Now, I don't think I can wait. I'm gonna go ahead and watch it probably this weekend. I might do it as a double feature with the dirty cut of dirty work, Love, Trauma, Love, Lloyd Kaufman? Did I I tell? Did I tell the Lloyd Kaufman story?

You did, Craig pointing out, he went and checked, and yes, you can get a real chainsaw for less than two hundred dollars making fun of the Dark Sky selection thing. For the record, When the Texas chainsaw'm asker for k from Dark Sky with the fake chainsaw got announced, somebody went and did the math and there was a way to buy the four K of Texas chainsaw i'm ask her and a real chainsaw for less than what Dark Sky Selects was charging for Texas chainsaw four K and

Let's talk about this. So this is a loose adaptation of The Tempest. The Tempest, which is one of Shakespeare's more interesting later plays, one that is of great interest and significance to modern day postcolonial scholars because it gets into some questions of the British Empire, and you know how some of the stuff they did wasn't so great, gets into questions of enslavement and dominion and patriarchy and

I'm done, all right, that was trauma. Next up.

I just wanted to shout this out for people that didn't know about this. Anybody that's been around physical media for a handful of years and remembers Garage House Pictures. Harry that ran Garage House Pictures is now running The Gap Theater in wind Gap, Pennsylvania, and it's got some pretty incredible programming that they're doing. They're doing a Friday the thirteenth marathon, all in thirty five millimeter. They're playing Ricky Oh, Streets of Fire, Rocky Oar Picture Show at

August fourth.

In the UK, we've already talked about the US release of this, but Paramount is releasing a seventy fifth anniversary collector's edition of Sunset Boulevard over there. This gets four times collectible Paramount original lobby cards, a Billy Wilder director trivia card, reproduction of Norma's note capacity wallet designed like the script, collectible street sign, two fold out posters, six art cards, and.

A photo book all the cards.

That's quite a lot, and yet all of this stuff is cheaper than one of the old screen factory sets with the lobby cards.

Isn't that wild?

I feel like it should have include a pack of playing guards, since that's such a pivotal prop.

Would have made sense.

Yeah, so the Gap theater is seven and a half hours from where I live. I think that's worth.

It to go for certain things. Yeah, it'd be worth it.

Well, And actually I should go back to this because simonar is saying you can only attend one week?

Which one do you pick?

Let mean, what are my options? Oh, Titanic for sure, ridiculous.

Let me pull that comment down. We might be able to see the full month here.

So Scanners, Teresa and Isabelle, Streets of Fire, Friday, the thirteenth of Marathon, and then the Guns of Navarone. That's not a bad week. Near Dark, Napoleon, Dynamite, Lady Sings the Blues, Oh, Headwig and Knife plus heart is a great double feature, Lavern.

I think the Scanner's week is probably it for me.

It looks pretty great. Yeah, and then you cap it off with you only live twice at the end.

No, that's a different way guns an avarroon.

Oh hello, you said scanners. I was looking at near Dark. I would probably pick the near dark week.

Okay, well we'll go back to back then.

Yeah, I don't need to see all the Friday the thirteenth, even though I mean the fact that they're playing him in thirty five millimeter is pretty damn red.

Yeah, it's the forty fifth anniversary this year, that's true, true, all right. Going from Sunset Boulevard to ridiculous censorship. July ninth, four K in Australia, Madman Films is releasing Crocodile Dundee.

Quote the encore cut, it's compromised. They have cut out two and a half minutes of.

This movie of today. Does he say, yes, they took up the cross dressing scene entirely.

So now Crocodile Dundee joins the Fringe connection.

Yes, the French connection was just on streaming though.

In the in the only time it will join the French connection.

So a lot of people are saying that there is rumor to be a Paramount four K that's coming out that.

They hope to be uncut.

Supposedly Paramount was the ones behind the cut.

So I so we're good with some like it hot and tootsy and she's the she's the man, and sorority girls and shall I go on? But Crocodile Dundee, I actually don't even know. It might very well be offensive. I'm not even sure I've seen crocodile dundee. Do you know what? Do you know what it is that's been you just said a cross dressing.

There's a cross dressing scene and there's a couple slurs that are involved with that.

I believe they just put out Ace Fincher on four K. I don't think they cut Sean Young scenes, did they?

I don't think so.

I mean, here's the thing, and and Ronnie's right, Yes, it is a very transphobic scene. Not taking that away. I don't love the comedy in it, or the jokes or anything like that.

Yeah, no, I think you show your you show your you show your.

Thoughts on the film by not buying it exactly, you know, which is exactly what I'm doing with the Ace Venturer movie. But to cut it is to pretend like it didn't happen.

Right, And uh, you know, if if you need to put some sort of disclaimer at the beginning, do what you gotta do.

But it should be.

Like the Tom and Jerry cartoons, get with the Goldberg to come out and say, look what you're about to see is going to have some problem. But if we tried to cut them off all.

And you know what's funny, there's so many people up in arms about this cut. This film was only ever like shown uncut in Australia. The rest of the world already had a cut version of the film. So yeah, it's I don't know, you don't need to pretend that the jokes didn't happen.

We should learn from it.

I agree with Ronnie hundred per, you know, it's it's something that has to be confronted and dealt with. And like you know, sometimes when I'm talking with students who have grown up in certain contexts where they're like, what's the big deal? You know what I mean, like that these problems have been solved. You can you can point to moments and films Crocodile done, dnace F insurance stuff and say, you know, see here, here's here's the problem.

So yeah, my suggestion, do not buy Crocodile Dundee the cut.

There's so many reasons not to buy Crocodile Dundee, so.

Many reasons you.

Know what has more reasons not to buy it? Crocodile Dundee two coming on four K from Mad Men as well on July sixteenth. Uh, and we'll just go the next one because we spend enough time on that. VCI releasing Santo Versus Infernal Man from nineteen sixty one or Infernal Men.

Sorry.

Uh, this is odd because Indicator released this, and I don't think that the Indicator released was at a print. I'm very curious what's going on here. No experts listened on this as far as I can tell, so VC I just make sure that the release is available out there.

Probably this is probably the movie Christy Gnome imagines she's in.

Wow, Next Upry Remember thirty.

I'm sorry, that's really funny.

Well, it's better because she's my boss. September thirtieth, Sorry, it's okay.

I don't like her either.

I think this podcast is why I can't find a job.

September thirtieth, Light Your Entertainment is doing a blu ray of Harley Flannagan Wired for Chaos from twenty twenty four. Harley Flanning is a punk rock hardcore legend known as the father of New York City hardcore and the founder of the pioneering band chromags bunch of extras listed on here. Yeah, this is pretty cool.

I'm so glad that we're getting more and more of these released over the last year and a half or so.

You know what, we really need to give more platforms to angry white guys, and I'm glad that we have this opportunity. No, I'm kidding.

I love Chromax, all right, going to the never mind.

Said the guy, said the angry white guy on a platform.

Next up September thirtieth, Blu Ray from VCI as the third release in their Psychotronica line, The Mermaids of Tiberan, and they made sure that you knew this is the nude version.

It says.

This film was produced and directed in nineteen sixty two, was a fantasy adventure by noted underwater cinematographer John Lamb. Two years later, he chopped out ten minutes, reshot the close up some medium shots of the mermaids, revealing the enchantresses in the nude, with emphasis on actress Gabby Martone, released it as The Aqua Sex. Twenty three years later, Lamb took the time to re edit his epic like you really wanted and just to make sure, added additional

He's trying to seek from treasure. All right, Hey, if you love boobs and sushi, this is the movie for you.

Oh man, what a line? What a line? Uh?

Craig says, this is at least the third film Tonight, touting the titties is a selling point. Don't worry, Craig, We're not done. There's at least two more.

I think, wait, what is smdh damn ahead, Yes, my damn head, Yes, I got it, I got it.

Next up VCI on September sixteenth, putting out Tulsa Tearors from.

Twenty twenty four.

It's a new documentary exploring the direct to video horror boom of the mid nineteen eighties, which was sparked in Tulsa, Oklahoma, spearheaded by United Entertainment now VCI Entertainment founder Bill Blair. The movement began with the shot on video film Blood Cult in eighty five, and it's a documentary on all of that.

All right, Next up.

September sixteenth, Liberation Haul putting out The Buster Keaton Show on Blu Ray. This is from forty nine and fifty. The picture shows a DVD cover, but it is a Blu Ray. Found confirmation on that these episodes were restored by renowned archivist and preservationist Jeff Joseph and have been digitally upgraded to h D. Three comedians are in close up in HD as bonus materials. This is your Life TV episode with Buster.

Keaton in HD, Circus Time in HD, Cops in SD, and the Goat in SD. This just seems like a win for preservation stuff.

Oh well, Buster Keaton was the goat, so I will happily be adding this to my collection of Buster Keaton things.

Lots of random extras. Two TV episodes that you won't get a chance to own.

Lsewise, that's pretty cool.

Following up Buster Keaton with the John Wayne Gacy murders, Life and Death in Chicago coming from MVD on September sixteenth. It's part of their MVD visual line. Uh yeah, thankfully this comes with outtakes Roddy asking the real question, are there any boobs in the Buster Keaton showed none? That they're advertising.

At least.

I'm picturing the bloopers and the John Wayne Gacy murgers like Grandpa and Texas Chainsaw Massacre trying to do that, damn it. Yeah, I guess Busty Keaton, if you had the Busty Keaton Show, then you'd have something.

There is that nude Diane Keaton the second Diane Keaton reference tonight?

Yeah? Uh, well, anyway, on we go, on we go. Uh.

This one's a little bit of a better movie, probably.

August eleventh, four K in the UK from the BFI of Kira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress from nineteen fifty eight, brand new four K restoration.

Uh.

This has a new commentary by Japanese cinema expert Tony Rains. Uh, It's a wonderful to create Hidden Fortress from two thousand and two, featurettes, interview with George Lucas from two thousand and one, and then first pressing there's an illustrated booklet with a new essay by kent To McGrath.

Uh.

This absolutely means Criterion will be releasing this on four K eventually.

You can count on that.

Well, I should hope will eventually be getting complete curiso of four K. But this is great. I love Hidden Fortress. That's uh Star Wars. Yeah, anytime you think you might watch a Star Wars movie, stop and watch Hien Tortress.

Just stop, just stop.

Don't do it.

Next up hurt Zoggs.

Speaking of Star Wars. I got it. This is so funny. You know, Uh, Ross do that. He's a he's a conservative columnist for the New York Times, but he's also a film critic. His most famous essay was on the paranoid style in seventies semin which is actually a pretty good essay. He's on Bill Maher all the time. You know. He's one of those conservatives who's like, hey Bill Maher, I'll come on your show and pretend to laugh at

Dan, I think they both work on it, both of the Gilroys.

Well, this is Tony. I think.

Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you.

That's fine, I do. That's like my whole role to do.

And it's been said publicly, that's funny.

How we started and how we are now Anyway, Ross Do That's new podcast is called Interesting Times because he's such a funny conservative. He likes to reference that famous Chinese proverb maybe may you live in interesting times? He's a he's a he's a radical Catholic conservative, but also not a huge, huge Trump god. But he tries to find like a way to justify Trump stuff. And I'm not passing judgment. I'm just describing who he is. This

BFI continues August twenty fifth, putting out a four K of a Geary The Wrath of God from nineteen seventy two. We talked about this recently because Shout is releasing it on four K as well, which means this will be a better release from the BFI. We've got a future length audio commentary with Herzog. I'm both Geary and Fates of Margana The Unprecedented Defense of the Fortress from nineteen sixty seven, sixty minute symbolic drama about four young men

Or Herzog. Anything you want to talk about, go right ahead.

Well, you know, I was reading Kinski's autobiography when my plane on thist blew up on one Way to visit you.

Oh yeah, I remember, there's that.

I mean, this film is incredible, second only to Fitzcoraldo. Yeah, and Kinski Hurtzog collaborations. One of the great ending scenes in any movie. In my opinion. Kinski was a problematic character, but a very compelling actor. And I think Craig's right. The cover art there does make it kind of look like a TV movie but a little bit. Yeah, but it's decidedly not. It's gorgeously shot. I mean, like this

Well, if that's not enough for you, they are also doing No Saratu the Vampire on Septober. Got the poster right over there on the other side of the room right now. This has a bunch of the archival extras on air. They're going to announce other extras to be confirmed later.

Well, I hope both versions are there.

You have not specified, surely I would hope.

So Wow, another great one.

Another one from Bfi.

They're doing Object Z on Blu Ray on September twenty second.

This is from nineteen sixty five.

This has unseen since his first transmission on ITV in sixty five. This vintage six part ready fusion sci fi serial will delight all affixionados of the glorious golden age of British television drama. This has all of the episodes associated with it, all six of them. And I had never heard of this before today.

I think it's a B fifty two song.

To Diane Keaton references to be be fifty two references. This has been a good show.

You know, speaking of titties. Have you ever seen that Diane Keaton movie The Family Stone?

I have not.

Well, there's a scene where she trying to.

Make a slide joke and I can't think of one.

There's well, look, if you want me to stay, you're gonna need to shut up and listen to the song the rest of the story. But anyway, in Family Stone, there's a scene where Dyan Keeth, you know, she's had a mistectomy, and there's a scene where she like opens up her shirt and there's like, I guess they see she eyed it or something.

Yep.

And I went to see it in the theater with my girlfriend at the time, and when that happened, I was I like, I wept, I was hit. It hit me. It's not a great movie, but like it hit me, and I was just like, god, damn, that's she feels that absence, that absence of tit. And I want you to know I wasn't gonna make a joke. Sidner made me do it.

All right, let's carry on. August twenty sixth, Sony putting out a four K Steele book of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It is, it is happening. There is some extras on the Blu ray disc. Yeah, this is a big one for a lot of people.

How do you feel about Money Python on the Holy Grail?

I mean, you know, it's great. Meaning of Life is my favorite of the Money Python. But I remember my uncle. My uncle showed me Money Python the Holy Growth for the first time when I was in high school and it was the first money Pot. I had never seen the show or I had even heard of him, because it was just some stupid American and he showed it to me and I was like, whoa, this movie makes no sense whatsoever, and it's kind of funny and it. Yeah, it definitely led me to some good stuff. But a

Yeah, this is my third favorite. Meaning of Life is absolutely number one. Life of Brian is number two for me, and then this is number three. And that's not saying this is bad or anything.

This it's way better in Wayne's world too.

Oh man.

Uh, I know there was some confusion in comments earlier because of how Sony worded this in the press release. It says there is a under special features near theatrical version of the film. In each resolution, you get the full version of the film on the four K, so don't worry about that. There is an old there's a cut.

For one specific joke that sucks. This looks cool.

Is it a non PC joke?

No, it's it's literally a joke about like, uh joke. It's like, is do you they break the fourth wall for a second and they're like, do you think this joke is working?

Do you think it'll get cut out?

And what's funny is the joke works if you leave it in the movie, but also if you cut it out, but when you leave it in the movie, it ruins the pacing of the film entirely.

It doesn't work at all. Yeah.

Next up, Altered Innocence announced their next title August twelfth, blu Ray in the US of The Maiden from twenty twenty two. It says a perfect summer day ends in tragedy, weaving a cosmic connection between three suburban teenagers. Best friends Colton and Kyle, float the river, trade dreams, and spray paint in the local ravine. Like the boys, Whitney explores the ravine, seeking solace by writing and drawing in her diary,

Indeed, all right, I'm into it.

Uh?

Next up, Dark Force releasing a wide release of The Beast in the Vixens from nineteen seventy four on August nineteenth. Uh don't usually talk about Dark Force, but they've been making some different changes so their stuff isn't be coming out widely from MVD and Keno, depending on which release in the future. I know a lot of people are turned off by Dark Force, myself included, but even I gotta admit they've had a couple of decent titles in

Yeah, Osha went to the Dark Force spoiler alert Acolyte, the Beast and the Vixens aka Ladies' Night. When I go to the club, I thought.

This is known as two other films, and I've really thought you were or two other titles, and I thought we're gonna say one of those.

I don't know. I don't know what this is.

Uh that makes sense. I believe this is a rufie. Oh well, or maybe that's the next one we're about to talk about.

I'm not sure. Let's keep going.

Ride a Wild stud is the next Dark Force title coming on August nineteenth? Oh no, this is the Rouffie. So this says a Civil War raider kidnaps women for a brothel, prompting a lone cowboy to ride for revenge in this gritty, low budget exploitation western.

And this says I thought I thought it was a movie.

I thought it was a movie about a husband trying to hang up a picture.

The movie starts with him going, oh my.

God, talking about the worst part of any day. I swear to god, no Studfinder ever made works.

Oh Man, that was funny, and then the Golden Triangle getting a wide release from them on August nineteenth, as will.

Yeah, I addressed some slander when your Studfinder movie came up. Uh, Sidner said that I perked up, and I just want to deny that. I'm not sure I've perked up at any point this week.

I could attest to that.

Well, I don't know that that was helpful.

It's been a it's been a rough week.

It might be the reason if you're testing.

Oh man, all right, let's just keep going.

Almost let's talk about the Golden Triangle for a second.

We're past it.

It already got a release from dark Horse on their website a little over a year ago.

This is quite appropriate. Actually.

It is August fourth, blu ray in the UK from eighty eight Films as part of their French collection of I Am Frigid Why from nineteen seventy.

Two, Married to Dadson.

This is the Max PEAKUS film has been released in the US by one Manda Macabre.

Thank goodness, she's asleep right now.

You could preorder this now.

Next up is The Cannibal Man, coming on August fourth on Blu Ray in the UK from eighty eight Films. This is the same Cannibal Man that was released by Severn in the US, directed by Lloyd de la Galicia. I need to rewatch this one because I did not love it the first time, and I can I finish my sentence where I say I'm wrong.

I guess, all right now that's okay, fuck you too.

I think the big thing is I just wasn't prepared for the politics behind the movie, and learning more after definitely helped. Knowing the air that was in and that the whole the bad guys can't get away with anything, definitely changes the way you view view the context of the film.

Let me tell you anybody out there who's thinking of watching this movie for the first time, I want to recommend a book Ian Olney. The book is called euro Horror, euro Horror the Rural uror.

Euro Horror.

Classic European horror cinema in contemporary American culture, and it's about kind of reception of a lot of these European especially Italian, Spanish and horror films of the seventies and eighties, Faulty Argento, all the cannibal films, et cetera, and uh, it's it's a it's a great book. And really, you know I was talking earlier about when we're talking about Deaf Crocodile, about the historical context. Really, yeah, helping you

Yeah, so check it out.

Generally has a lot of fun.

There's some good gore in it for sure.

Next August fourth, as part of the Taigon Collection, eighty eight Films doing a Blu ray and DVD release of Neither the Sea nor the Sand from seventy two. This is the same film that came out from Viniger Syndrome as part of their Black Friday sale last year.

Good double feature with the David Lunch Dune.

This has a limited edition booklet with notes by Barry Forshawn Andrew Graves, and it looks like the extras are pretty much the same on this Next Rats Night of Terror coming on four K and blu ray in the UK from eighty eight as part of their Italian collection on August eleventh, brand new four K remaster from the

Well, that's an interesting contrast with the recent Severin release.

It sure is, which we.

Definitely sold out of at Fearfest. I love Rats. I think that's a good movie. Huh. Some interesting extras there? Different? Are we talking about a different restoration, different transfer?

It's slightly the exact same transfer as Severn. The encoding might be slightly different, but yeah, the big difference here is Eugenio. Yeah, definitely produced a shit tone of extras for this.

Well, all right, we'll think about that, yes we will.

Then.

August eighteenth, four K blu ray release from eighty eight of Scum from nineteen seventy nine. This is the Alan Clark film that Indicator released years ago in a really nice limited Blu ray release now getting a four K upgrade. All kinds of extras on here, including an audio commentary with Troy Eugenio again, commentary with Kim Newman and Sean Hogan, a bunch of interviews. There's a lot coming in this package. Scum great movie.

Is there any word on the rest of the Alan Clark movies, because I have that Blue Underground DVD box set?

Oh wow, yeah, no, I've not heard anything else. Yeah, nothing at all, So Scum's the only one so far, and as soon as I buy it.

There'll be an announcement for a box set.

I Blue Underground in the States and it'll be great. Yeah, okay, all right, almost done. Now getting close release date changes. Eighty eight Films has updated all of these to be August twenty fifth. That is, Come Drink with Me on four K. That's a UK release.

Devil Fetus Blu Ray August twenty fifth, American Pie, The Wedding on Blu Ray also known as American Wedding, and then The Cat Blu ray in the US is now coming on August twenty sixth.

August twenty sixth, but this is not really surprising.

Eighty eight Films literally delay stuff every single month.

Well it happens. Oh, here we go, speaking of politics.

Big deal time.

July eighth, Warner Brothers releasing a complete Blu Ray set of Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman, the nineteen ninety three to ninety seven TV series with Terry Hatcher and Dan Kane, first time on Blu Ray anywhere in the world. For many people, this is their favorite Superman depiction. This is this is a pretty big deal. This was a big, big entry into Superman lower for a lot of people.

I have a question, what do people think of the James Gunn Superman. I'm sure we've all seen the trailer.

Honestly, I'm kind of excited, which I didn't think I was gonna be.

Yeah, that's a tough one.

Man.

I hate Superman as a character. Yeah, he's boring, I get it. Kind of fascist, like even more so than Batman.

Definitely more sothern Batman.

I mean, his name literally is ubermanche so uh but uh, I'll tell you. The presence of the super Dog in the trailer kind of like makes me think. But then again, uh, all three Guardians of the Galaxy I liked for like the first hour and then then it became daddy issues. And I know the Superman is going to become daddy issues.

So Guardians too specifically got daddy.

Issues, I guess. Come to come to think of it, Tremeo and Juliet's got a lot of daddy issues. James Gunn has daddy issues. They're in I mean it's in leather too. Yeah, and super super good really working working through the daddy issues.

All right, Lewis and Clark Adventures New Adventures of Superman. They've also got some special features on here, the making of pilot commentary, They've got secret season two trivia challenge, stuff like that.

This looks pretty cool for people to love Superman.

I'll tell you one advantage this this show has over the more recent The Adventures of Lois and Superman. Uh No, children the Kids and the new show. Oh my god.

I have not seen any of the the recent glut of stuff like from One Arrow and after it came out.

Well, you know, I watched all the CW Era Verse shows, so that's why I had to see it, all three seasons of Superman and Lowss, hobby Boy, those kids. Yeah, let's move on to whatever.

September thirtieth, the fourth entry into the VCI Psychotronica collection is coming and it is the Raw Ones from nineteen sixty five. And this literally on the cover says the word shwing.

Oh wow back everything goes back to Wayne's world.

So this says the nineteen fifty seventh the Supreme Court ruled that nudity in and of itself has not obscene this decision opening door depends on who it is, but okay to newdest camp documentaries. This one is padded to the Sprocket Holes Wow with new figure models, jumping rope, bouncing on the trampoline, snapping each other with towells, and lots more of what was formerly forbidden fruit from the original thirty five millimeter Negatives?

Was Mike Meyers a producer or something? What's the deal.

I recently saw, I think it was on Netflix, a German stand up comedian and it was like subtitled, and I'd never seen a stand up session in another language. Before, and it made me realize, like I'd never even thought of stand
