00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.040
You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast network.
2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.480
Hey movie lovers, I'm Pete Wright and I'm Andy Nelson.
3
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.039
We are the hosts of the Next Real Film Podcast.
4
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.399
If you're passionate about films like we are, you'll love
5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.239
our show. Each week, we dive deep into a movie,
6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.760
discussing everything from the story and performances to the cinematography
7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.239
and score, not to mention budgets and awards.
8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.679
We have covered iconic series like Francis Hercoppolas, The Godfather trilogy,
9
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.560
examining themes of power, family, and the dark side of
10
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.320
the American dream.
11
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.640
We've explored the works of groundbreaking directors like Catherine Bigelow,
12
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.600
discussing her mastery of tension.
13
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.200
We've looked at heist films, great car chases, great years
14
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.200
in film, couples on the run.
15
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:45.640
And more.
16
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.600
Our discussions go beyond the surface, examining what makes each
17
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.679
film tick. We believe that when the movie ends, the
18
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.600
conversation begins, and we'd love for you to join that conversation.

Our conversation begins, Hello there, and welcome back.
23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:23.959
What is this place is connected? Disconnected? It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
24
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.280
I'm sorry to feel disconnected. You'll reach the number that
25
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:34.079
has been disconnected. Hey'all, and welcome to another Thursday with
26
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.719
first time guest un Reconnected one. I am so stoked
27
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.840
to have here for the first time, mister Austin Trunick. Austin,
28
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:41.959
thanks for showing me.
29
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.120
Thank you, thank you for having me. I am so
30
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.040
excited to be here. I'm excited to be here during
31
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:47.560
this festive time of year.
32
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.680
I love the lights in the background. For those that
33
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.599
don't recognize the name Austin Trunick, Austin is the the
34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.760
main scholar behind Cannon Films. This is the Cannon Film Guide,
35
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.480
Volume one. This is a very large book. And yet,
36
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.560
if that's not intimidating enough, volume two, which is what
37
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.280
twice the length. Almost so the bar that you've set
38
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.000
for yourself Volume three has to be what eight nine
39
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.280
hundred pages something like that.
40
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.840
I'm working towards it. I am approaching it. I we'll
41
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.319
see when I get there. But boy, yeah, it's gonna
42
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.080
it's gonna be a beast. It will be another doorstop.
43
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.240
Yeah. I am so stoked because these, like, other than
44
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.560
the Stephen Thrower books, maybe some of the most exhaustive
45
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.319
books on cinema from the last twenty years or so.
46
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.919
I love being in Steven Thrower's company. That's that's awesome.
47
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.280
Thank you always esteemed company. Tell us about Canon, like,
48
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.439
how did you first get into Cannon? For everybody that
49
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:48.599
has never given the deep dived Cannon films? And you're frozen,
50
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.439
which means you can't tell us anything. Hopefully you're back quickly.
51
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.280
At least you're smiling on my picture. Let's check in
52
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.639
with some of the chat while we wait on Austin
53
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.879
to come back. Oh, there he is, and you're back.
54
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.759
You were frozen for good twenty seconds.
55
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:06.520
Oh my goodness.
56
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.520
Right, how did you first get into Cannon films? For
57
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.319
those that have never given the deep dive b Canon?
58
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.280
Well, I grew up kind of out in the boonies in
59
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.439
Ohio and we didn't really have close access to a
60
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.080
movie theater, So all of the movies I saw came
61
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.560
through the video store, and Cannon was king of the
62
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.919
video store. They you couldn't. You couldn't spin around with
63
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.639
your arms out without knocking over a whole bunch of
64
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.080
cannon movies off the off the shelves. So these are
65
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.719
movies that I first saw with my dad renting them,
66
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.280
and then when I was old enough, you know, in
67
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.159
middle school, renting ninja movies and things that probably shouldn't
68
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.319
have been rented to a kid my age, But these
69
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.520
are the biggest were days, and people were not very cool.
70
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.680
The cool video stores were very lenient about that. You
71
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.280
can get away with renting action movies. But yeah, these
72
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.479
these are the movies I grew grew up on. And
73
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.840
as I grew up and I got into a film
74
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.439
criticism for a long time and worked for various magazines,
75
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.759
did some home video section of a magazine for a
76
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.039
very long time, I ended up coming back to Canon.
77
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.439
I returned to the movies that I grew up on.
78
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.839
I've been spent many years writing about Criterion releases, and
79
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.800
then again it was fun just to go back to
80
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.240
the Charles Bronson and Ninja movies.
81
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.120
After all that, I totally get that the amount of
82
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.839
variety in Canon films is always hard for certain people
83
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.279
to pin down. But the great thing is they all
84
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.360
like the moment you see that logo, the feeling changes
85
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.800
when you're watching that film, unless you know, if you've
86
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:39.920
been around them for so long.
87
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.439
Yeah, No, it's one of those things. That Canon logo
88
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.600
was never I wouldn't call it a seale of quality,
89
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.160
but it was always a seal of a good time.
90
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.800
Even if the movie was not great, it was going
91
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.079
to be entertaining and all. That's all a movie needs
92
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.199
to be. That's the goal I think, in my opinion
93
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.000
of a movie just needs to entertain. You.
94
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.160
Speaking of that, you have been here to assist with
95
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.279
entertaining on some home video releases over this last year.
96
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.399
You've written on some essays on Mac and Me and
97
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.600
the Garbage Pail Kids and a couple others, A big
98
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.920
one for me, serget kabookie man. What's that been like?
99
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.959
Is this isn't your your your first year on physical
100
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.839
media releases? Right? I think you've done a couple before
101
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.600
this year and frozen.
102
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:27.959
Sorry about that.
103
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.160
I am now you're back?
104
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.879
What is going on? I am up in New England
105
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.120
right now when we're having some slightly snowy, slushy weather,
106
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.000
so I don't know if that's affecting my connection right now,
107
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.720
but I'm really hopefully that holds out a little better.
108
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.279
No big deal, we'll figure it out. Other releases I
109
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.639
think you were on a few before this year as well, right.
110
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.240
Yes, the big one my debut really was Invasion USA
111
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.279
last year, and that one was one I had a
112
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.639
blast working once I got to I recorded a commentary
113
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.319
as well, was writing the booklet at essay for it,
114
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.600
and I got to lend a hand with the interviews
115
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:05.680
and things like that. So it was one that I
116
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.639
really got to be involved in a lot of ways,
117
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.720
and I couldn't have asked for a better, more exciting.
118
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.399
That's one of my favorite canon movies, all time, favorites,
119
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.199
and you could have asked for a better first release
120
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.879
to be involved in. I have a essay a revised
121
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.560
version of what appeared in my book on the Umbrella
122
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.079
Masters Universe release, which unfortunately I think is way way
123
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.160
out of print right now. Yeah, but I was one
124
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.160
I was very proud to be involved in. And Navy
125
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.399
Seals last year that was That was another one that
126
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:45.680
was had a very interesting production history behind it, many
127
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.720
different scripts. I think I read five different versions of
128
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.399
the Navy Soul script, and every one of them was
129
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.720
an almost entirely different movie from the last. It was
130
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.040
really fun to get to break down how one idea
131
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.319
became another, it becomes another idea and became ooh, Navy
132
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.720
Seals the version we all know, the big, huge, silly
133
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.040
action blockbuster. But I love doing these the essays, especially
134
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.079
because it allows me to kind of get a little
135
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.879
break from cannon stuff for a little while and explore
136
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.120
other films that of course, these are all movies that
137
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.279
grew up the same area I grew up, era I
138
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.519
grew up, and things I was exposed to many many
139
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.800
years ago. I've seen many times and it's nice to
140
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.759
write about them because my life has been just cannon
141
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.639
stuff for a long time. So it's it's a nice
142
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.279
break now and then when the DVD work comes comes along.
143
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.639
Is that is that frustrating for you living solely in
144
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.079
cannon or is that something you relish?
145
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.360
I mean, I couldn't ask for better subject matter. Like,
146
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.040
like you mentioned, they've done so many different movies. They
147
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.079
were so prolific, so many films in such a short
148
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.360
amount of time and in so many different genres that
149
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.680
really it doesn't get it never gets boring, been watching
150
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.040
these movies many, many times, and in most of the cases,
151
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.920
these were all films that we're done with either too
152
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.759
small a budget, too too small, a crunch of time,
153
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.680
usually both, and so the stories behind the making of
154
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.879
these films is usually as interesting, if not more interesting,
155
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.959
than the movies themselves.
156
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.639
That makes sense. This is probably a silly question, and
157
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.000
you've probably been asked this like eight hundred times, but
158
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.600
out of all the Cannon films that you have not
159
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.439
had the chance to work on a physical release for,
160
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.399
what is the one that you think would be the
161
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.480
most interesting one for you to write about, which means
162
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.720
not necessarily your favorite, but maybe the one that, like,
163
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.360
if you get asked to do a commentary, you're so
164
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.360
excited because it's not one that you get a chance
165
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.080
to talk about a lot.
166
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.480
Well, one that I've I keep putting this out there
167
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.519
unto the world because since I know it's had a
168
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.559
German release, I'd love to get a domestic one. But
169
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.840
Over the Top is a movie that I It'd be
170
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.759
one of those commentaries where the film would end and
171
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.240
I would just be talking over a black screen for
172
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.480
another three and a half hours because I could talk
173
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.120
forever about that movie. But there's so many aspects, whether
174
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.120
it's the actual arm wrestling competitions that Canon co that
175
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.080
used to promote the movie, and how they travel around
176
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.799
the worldway of local celebrities, local news anchors in every
177
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.399
city arm wrestling each other to promote this film, to
178
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.440
just the history of that film. It's it has it
179
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.879
started as a script. It was started as a not
180
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.919
a sequel, but a spiritual follow up to The Farmer
181
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.720
the late seventies, and the early scripts for that movie
182
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.639
are incredibly violent and even all the scripts up until
183
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:47.799
Stallone's final rewrite of the movie are super violent and crazy.
184
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.679
You have like breaking Grandpa's arm and it and stuff. And
185
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.679
I just love to go over the production history. And
186
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.120
it's also a film that I am fascinated by the
187
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.279
his like the stories behind all the arm wrestlers. I've
188
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.080
that's a black hole. I've rabbit hole have gone down
189
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.559
many times. Like I can tell you these life stories
190
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.639
of every person that you know bends the arm with
191
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.399
Ben's the arm with Stallone in that movie. So that's
192
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.960
that is one that's well, it's not my favorite one.
193
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:19.960
They just let me add it. Let me add it
194
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:25.200
because I could easily produce twenty hours of extra features
195
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.440
without even like stopping to sleep. I would do it
196
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.240
in a weekend. Just turn on a camera and let
197
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.440
me go.
198
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.440
Well, when they put out the VSU next year, hopefully
199
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.759
they call you up, because it would be incredible for Vinegars.
200
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.320
Fingers crossed. Yeah, that'd be a perfect one, perfect one
201
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.039
for them to take on.
202
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.240
Uh. And you are not just about canon other stuff
203
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.279
that you love. What other kind of movies are you into?
204
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.240
Oh my goodness, my teats all over the place. That's
205
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.159
that is a tough one. I mean right now, I'm
206
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.480
all about the holiday movies. Well we'll talk right there. Yeah,
207
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.080
but yeah, I again like I love Czech cinema, I
208
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.320
love my My college thesis was on New German cinema,
209
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.240
so Fossbender and Finnders. So it's it's it's all over
210
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.799
the place. There's there. I've not encountered many movies that
211
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.679
I've disliked. That's that's the thing. I'm I might not
212
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.080
have been a good critic. I'm starting to realize that
213
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.360
now as historian, I feel like I'm suited. But as
214
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.399
a critic, because I rarely found a movie I didn't
215
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.960
enjoy in some way. I think I'm just a creature
216
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.000
that can be put down in front of a flickering
217
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.240
screen and I'll find something to love about whatever is on.
218
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.399
So my taste is all over the place.
219
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.279
I get that, fully. But speaking of that, we both
220
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.600
love physical media. So what have you been picking up recently?
221
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.600
Well, well, I've got a few things actually on hand,
222
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.159
but we were just talking before the show started. The
223
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:03.200
thing I'm most excited about some overdue Canon four K releases.
224
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.720
These all just came from Keno last week or so.
225
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:11.679
But I have Death Wish, Iree and the Ninja Trilogy,
226
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.080
and really hear ranked in the order of my favorite too.
227
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.360
I still love them all like I I will watch
228
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.639
these movies at the drop of a hat, and I've
229
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.720
seen them a hundred times and I will watch them
230
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.840
right anyone asked me any moment.
231
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.440
It is a big deal for Canon films right now
232
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.320
this month because Keino, you know, putting that much into
233
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.360
the Ninja Trilogy is probably not something a lot of
234
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.360
people saw coming as one of the first releases from
235
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.879
Canon four K. But they supposedly look great. I don't
236
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.720
have a copy yet. I cannot wait to see them
237
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.879
Sam Furstenberg, friend of the show. I love his directing
238
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.799
on those. He is one of the most kind just
239
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.960
individuals ever. Love seeing those. Anything else that you wanted
240
00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.639
to share.
241
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.799
Well, I I'm sure like a lot of people here.
242
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.519
I spent a little more than I expected the Criterion
243
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.879
sale last month, so it's stuff I'm going to be
244
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.919
working through those, probably for as my holiday break comes up.
245
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.519
Getting to wash. I picked up the four K Berry Linden.
246
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.480
I've been dragging my feet on that for a little while,
247
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.919
eyes wide shut. I was lucky to get out well before.
248
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.879
Like I guess they're drying up everywhere for a little
249
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.559
while until they get the next wave of stock in there.
250
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.159
Some other odds and ends that I've been meaning to grab,
251
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.320
so that those are things that really the currently on
252
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.879
the on the top of my watch list. I have
253
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.679
the new Sunset Boulevard. I as I was telling you
254
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.080
right before again before the show started, that a lot
255
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.840
of what I've been doing now is just upgrading so
256
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.440
many things to four K. A lot of things I've
257
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.879
seen you post about that I've seen a deal here
258
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.159
and deal there, and it's like, do I need to
259
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.120
upgrade from the Blu Ray right, Yes, I do for
260
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.600
for the little for the little bit discount off. Yes,
261
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.879
ibsolutely need to. So I've got a lot to a
262
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.919
lot to watch this holiday season once once the twenty
263
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.559
six throlls around, and I'm putting my stacko holiday movies
264
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.200
back in the back in the drawer. I've got a
265
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.399
pile of stuff from mostly the various sales that we had,
266
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.559
you know a few weeks ago.
267
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.759
Funny enough, you talked about having a pile of stuff
268
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.480
my I guess I don't usually theme these, but theme
269
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.399
for this week for pickups seems to be a lot
270
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.120
of stuff to watch because they're not I guess they
271
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.000
are kind of box sets in a way, but I'll
272
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.559
share not seeing a lot of people talk about the
273
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.200
brand new Tom and Jerry the Golden Era for more archive.
274
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.159
This thing is just incredible. I got a nice booklet
275
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.159
with it. Lots and lots I think there are what
276
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.720
is the total amount here it is? Oh, they don't
277
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.559
have it listed, easy of course, but there's like a
278
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.120
ton of minutes. It's like hours and hours and hours
279
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.679
of Tom and Jerry, which is just incredible. And then
280
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.559
recent sale, the Kenolober sale, which is still live. I
281
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.200
had been waiting on two of their collections to go
282
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:06.600
on sale, and I think both of these are on
283
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.960
sale for the first time. So we've got the made
284
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.279
in New Jersey films from Fort Lee set. I've been
285
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.000
wanting this since the day they announced this. This is
286
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.399
stuff all the way from nineteen o nine to twenty fifteen,
287
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.200
and I just love an collectic mix like that, so
288
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.840
that's great. And then some older stuff as well from Keno.
289
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.240
These are all from nineteen twenty all the way up
290
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.440
from nineteen forty. And this was one of the ones
291
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.799
I've been really waiting for, and that is the Oscar
292
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.600
me Show Complete collection and what they do on these
293
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.440
Library of Congress releases where they work together on them.
294
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.159
They always have a booklet and of course I just
295
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.559
knocked a disc out, but they've got a booklet and
296
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:51.120
this thing they fixed. This disc has one, two, three,
297
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.960
five different discs in this collection and the amount of
298
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.879
time that they are covering on these are incredible and
299
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.440
I don't really see many other boutiques putting this much
300
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.240
into stuff from nineteen twenty. You know, you get like
301
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.879
Flicker Rally will put out a solid, really great disc,
302
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.200
but Qino's like hold on, we'll put up five. No
303
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.519
big deal, and this was on sale. This was like
304
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.279
fifty bucks for a ton of cinema. It's great. And
305
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.639
speaking of silent cinema, here is the two five five
306
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.200
one trilogy from Deaf Crocodile Giant box set. This is
307
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.840
a four disc set, three films a disc just for
308
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.320
special features. The artwork on this going all the way
309
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.840
around the box. I love this art and these are
310
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.480
just incredible films, really subversive. Not sure if people have
311
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.120
seen these films yet because they're just arriving in people's
312
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.720
hands now, but they are weird, off the wall, like
313
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:51.000
strobe light filled experimental cinema, and they cover everything from
314
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.320
Charlie Chaplin homages all the way to like simulated sex
315
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.120
acts and it's crazy. Everybody needs to check these out.
316
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.759
They are truly incredible. Uh love this release and I
317
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.119
hope you like it. That's what I've got recent watches
318
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.119
other than the Ninja trilogy. What have you been checking
319
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:08.680
out recently?
320
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.200
Well, I've got some things I've been working on for
321
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.119
the Cannon book, so there there there are movies that
322
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.480
I've been watching in rotation just to just to work
323
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:23.400
on that. There are some odds and ends that I've
324
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.000
been catching up on. The Your You're disc the one
325
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:28.759
you just showed there remind me of it, but the
326
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.200
it's the Masters of Canadian Animation. I'm trying to remember
327
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.240
the title from Kadie International. It was a while back,
328
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.640
but it was just a fun one to throw on
329
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:40.839
because it was just such a variety of different animators
330
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.799
and different styles. And I love that it has a
331
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:49.319
playoff function. That's something that I that that that I
332
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.440
love a lot of these compilation discs, and I feel
333
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.480
like not every label things to add that, and it's
334
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.119
just such a lovely option sitting I want to I
335
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.359
want to watch three hours of this in a row,
336
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.000
or if it's just something I can play and play
337
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.960
a few times and walk in and out and catch
338
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.960
catch things I love. But that's one that I watched
339
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.039
not too long ago, and this isn't This is on
340
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.880
the total other end of what we were just talking about.
341
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.599
But I just finally watched Soup the New Superman with
342
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.200
my kids, which was which was fun and was also
343
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.599
a gorgeous, cool, very cool disc, very great sound separation
344
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:28.440
and well done. So it's just there's lots of ends.
345
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:33.160
I also for Thanksgiving. I had my regular annual watch
346
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:38.319
now of R R R nice so that I've it
347
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.759
started last Thanksgiving and it just seems like the Thanksgiving
348
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.119
is just this smart sport of all this different food
349
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.839
and it's it's it's too much, but it's all the
350
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.119
right amount that you need. And R R R is
351
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.440
the movie version of that. I feel, just the most
352
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.839
gluttonously enjoyable movie. And it in and it's long, it's big,
353
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.119
it's I that's so that was a very recent, very
354
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:11.359
juggle watch, but also rewatch many many times.
355
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.319
Have you seen from the same director Bahubali, the the
356
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.960
other albums that he did right before R R R.
357
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.279
So just gosh, this must have been like six weeks
358
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.160
ago now they re released Bahubali as a complete epic,
359
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.200
which it was two films, and they took them both
360
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.160
and put them together, which if you took the full
361
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:28.759
run time of both would have been five and a
362
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.400
half hours, I think, And because it's him as a director,
363
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.440
they cut out like an hour and thirteen minutes of
364
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.839
it to make an epic of the two. And I
365
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.160
just saw it in theaters and it's incredible. It's very
366
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.400
like if you love R r R.
367
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.359
You would love it, true, I'll check that out. That
368
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.920
sounds great. It's my wife enjoys r R as much
369
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.319
as I do.
370
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.960
So are you staying up to date on modern stuff
371
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.480
at all? Like that?
372
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.319
Not as much? So that was that was something that
373
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.039
by the time a second kid was born, I was
374
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.720
working on the second book and we left New York City.
375
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.920
I moved out to I'm up in northern Connecticut, so
376
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.599
I am not able to get to movie theaters as much.
377
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.319
I'm not as nearly as isolated as I was where
378
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.039
I was growing up in Ohio. But where I am
379
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.400
it's I can go down to Hartford, or go up
380
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.799
to Northampton where there's a lot of college to college town,
381
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.720
and there's a lot of cinemas there, but it's it's
382
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.079
really kind of kind of tricky. So to get out
383
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:35.839
to see something brand news it requires a big production,
384
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.000
which I'm sad I don't get because again, when I
385
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.480
was living in New York, I could go to Film Forum,
386
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.720
I can go to Angelica and I could This was
387
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.880
like you could see two, three, four movies in a row.
388
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.359
One of the best birthdays I ever remember having, I
389
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.599
skipped work and I went and watched four doug the
390
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.319
Cirque movies at Film Forum, one after another, all ones
391
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.039
that I had never seen before, and she's just great
392
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.880
just to be sitting in one theater getting so much selection.
393
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:09.720
And I miss that, I really miss that. That's the
394
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.680
one drag about leaving the city. I love space, I
395
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.559
love the fresh air, but oh no movies, no movie
396
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.200
theaters nearby, and no instant access to pizza.
397
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.519
That and low key one of the worst parts of
398
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.519
having young kids much more difficult to leave home.
399
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.359
Yes, yes, yeah, My children are ten and seven now,
400
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.480
so they're they've gotten No, there's still young kids, but
401
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.559
my older child is now getting to the age where
402
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.000
she's interested in more movies and we're watching things together
403
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.119
and it's I'm having a lot of fun there there.
404
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.119
There have been a lot of movies that I've seen.
405
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.440
I saw a bunch of times many years ago and
406
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.359
then kind of grew tired of and it's now it's
407
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.519
great to finally revisit some of these classics with her.
408
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.480
My kids are nine and ten, and being able to
409
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.599
have at least one of the two right now be
410
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.720
truly in love with movies has been absolutely great.
411
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.160
So what have you been watching with them a lot.
412
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.519
Actually, we started around October on the whole we think
413
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.559
you're almost old enough for some of like the PG
414
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.240
thirteen horror, and so we showed them things like Crawl
415
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.960
from twenty nineteen and they seem to really like that.
416
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:24.039
We showed them Paranormal Activity, and my oldest loved it
417
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.160
so much that he came home from school the next
418
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:27.960
day and put it on again. I was like, wow,
419
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.279
I guess we showed them Halloween. Had to cover the
420
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.079
eyes during a couple of scenes, but that was fun.
421
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.559
And then let's see what was another one of the
422
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.519
big ones. Well for Christmas, I guess we just showed
423
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:43.200
them Scrooge for the first time. The youngest could not
424
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.400
possibly care less. I think before the end of the
425
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.400
first act he was already out of the room and
426
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.519
attention on something else. The oldest was there, but he
427
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:53.880
was like, yeah, it was okay, And honestly, I kind
428
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:55.880
of feel the same. Scrooge has never been top of
429
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.839
my list for Christmas stuff, but hey, that's.
430
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.200
Fun that you've been the horror movies because I'm always
431
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.519
struggling because I don't know what right, what's going to
432
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.240
scare the kids? What's what they're going to enjoy there,
433
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.599
there's things that movies that again, like I grew up
434
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:17.720
watching more violent movies at a younger age than my
435
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.039
So it's just it's hard for me that that excuse what
436
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.440
I think is appropriate for them. I was watching at
437
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.000
that age I shouldn't have been. But so I think
438
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.000
something like Poltergeis Poulter Guezz was a movie that I
439
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.279
hadn't seen in a while. I was like, you know
440
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.400
what I thought. I remember that being not quite I mean,
441
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:39.079
being scary, but not as horrifying as other stuff I saw.
442
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.079
I don't remember is being as scared of it compared
443
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:43.240
to other things. But then, yeah, my daughter loved it.
444
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.759
My my younger one was not ready. We had to
445
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.119
stop the movie, you know, calm them down.
446
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.839
Its pretty terrifying.
447
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.160
Yeah, the whole ending, which totally escaped my mind with skeletons,
448
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.960
popp oh my gosh, like no, that what was I thinking?
449
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.599
What was I thinking? But and my older child, she
450
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:07.519
loved it. She's a little more, a little braver. She's
451
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.279
also three years more developments. A lot happens between the
452
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.799
ages seven and ten.
453
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.279
It's true. The other one that just reminded me Arachnophobia.
454
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.200
We just showed them that one, and it's silly enough,
455
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.240
but they were like, this is obviously fake and we
456
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.960
can love like the way that they're acting. And they
457
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.480
both walked away howling at a couple of reasons from
458
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.599
that movie. That was a good one.
459
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.599
That's cool, that's cool.
460
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.720
This last weekend, though, I got to see a ton
461
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.440
in the theater, I've been. This year has been really
462
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:39.799
high for theater watches. For me, It's the first year
463
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:42.039
where I felt like I could ask my mom to
464
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.160
watch the kids often, and so I've seen a lot.
465
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.200
But this weekend I saw six in the theater.
466
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.319
Wow.
467
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.279
Yeah. But the only one I really want to talk
468
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.480
about is Hamnet. Obviously, this movie is getting a ton
469
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.799
of praise right now from pretty much everybody, but it
470
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.079
is certainly not going to be a for everyone watch.
471
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.160
I truly liked this movie for most of it, and
472
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.799
then after the first two thirds where I was just
473
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.920
liking it, the final act kicked in and I was
474
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.920
there for it. It's one of those movies where, like you,
475
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.000
I'm willing to bet that on a rewatch it hits
476
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:21.680
a lot harder, but I truly like just dwelling on
477
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.440
it since then, I know that it's one of my
478
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.480
favorites for the year. The acting is absolutely incredible. I
479
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:31.359
was very, very happy with it. I obviously this weekend
480
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.759
saw kill Bill the whole Blood Affair. Like everybody and
481
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:36.000
their mother that went to the theater this last weekend
482
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.079
had a great time with it. Went there with my
483
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.880
buddy KB. I'm glad he was there with me. Yeah,
484
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.920
it was a good time. I hope people get a
485
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.279
chance check it out. The rumor is that it might
486
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.960
be coming on physical media next year, but with Tarantino,
487
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.839
you never know. He used his opinions like the wind.
488
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.920
I just bought the four k's of each one separately,
489
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.720
maybe three months ago, so it's bound to come out
490
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.240
in that form.
491
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:59.519
Perfect timing. We all appreciate you, Austin.
492
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:01.200
No problem. I'm doing my part.
493
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.759
So after our discussion on announcements tonight, we're gonna be
494
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.640
talking about off the Wall, off the Beaten Path, Christmas
495
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.519
Blu Ray recommendation or Holiday Blu Ray recommendations, lots of
496
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.680
fun stuff. I've got a stack here that I think
497
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.519
there's a couple at least that you won't have.
498
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.000
But I'm I'm hoping you want to take turns with those,
499
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.319
because I feel like we might have a little bit
500
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.359
of overlap. So I'm trying to like stack them in
501
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.440
the order that I want to talk about this first.
502
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:33.920
All right, So after this, we're gonna talk about five each,
503
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.759
and then we'll probably have some honorable mentions. I didn't
504
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.680
I purposely did not pick the really obvious ones. So
505
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.599
you know your Silent Night, Deadly Knight. Yeah, most people
506
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.640
love that watch that I did not choose that. Hopefully
507
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.519
you didn't. I did not want to put that on
508
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.960
a stack. A lot of these. I don't get a
509
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.680
chance to talk about a lot A couple of them.
510
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:52.519
I don't know that I've ever talked about them on
511
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.640
all right, figure two. But first let's get into announcements.
512
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:02.160
This week, we got a fairly large number of announcements
513
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.200
we're going to talk about. First, Deaf Crocodile had two
514
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.759
titles that are coming with a brand new slipcover. These
515
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.599
are standard editions that the deluxe editions had sold out.
516
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.519
These are now available from the Deaf Crocodile site. It's
517
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.279
just the standard edition with this brand new limited edition
518
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.759
slipcover on the outside. There's only three hundred of each
519
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.920
slipcover and they are cheaper right now if you get
520
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.359
them with the slipcover while they just went up. So
521
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:28.960
go check those out. Now. We got In the Moscow
522
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.599
Slums and then The Tragedy of Man, both of these
523
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.559
truly great discs, absolutely worth it. The Tragedy Man is
524
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.000
an animation epic, and In the Moscow Slums is a
525
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.480
very modern film but beautifully shot, some really great colors.
526
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.920
Check it out. Love both of those movies. Are you
527
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.160
a deaf crocodile person if you checked out anything from them?
528
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.720
Yeah, I mean I jumped on them as soon as
529
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.680
I saw something. Bar to the check. Animation you're talking
530
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:58.160
about with the Pipe Piper was a great one. And yeah,
531
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.200
I love that somebody is looking at some of these
532
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:05.039
more Eastern Side of Europe releases because somebody needed to
533
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:08.880
so there. Def Kraka is a label that I look
534
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.480
forward to their announcements, and there's so many that like, Oh,
535
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.880
I'm hoping, I'm hoping, I'm hoping. I I spent a
536
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.160
probably an inappropriate amount of time in many years ago,
537
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.799
early two thousands, when I was I lived in Prague
538
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.000
for a little while stalking Yan Schwankmeyer, and I realized
539
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.440
now it's stocking. I was a young person. I wasn't
540
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.079
willing to admit it then, but just sort of heading
541
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.640
to his gallery every chance I can get and hopes
542
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:34.200
to catch him in there and to get to meet him.
543
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.559
But that's somebody. It's like, ooh, someday some days, Oh,
544
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:42.920
that'd be the perfect label there there. But yeah, so again,
545
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:46.880
like I love some of this Eastern Eastern Bloc animation,
546
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.359
and they're there. They are the ones supplying it to us,
547
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.720
which is fantastic because this stuff was a lot of
548
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.240
the stuff they put out was rare in the DVD days,
549
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.599
if unavailable at all, which is incredible.
550
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:01.559
Yeah, we got a whole six months later. There is
551
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:03.920
to discuss at the end of the announcements. We will
552
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.880
get deep into there for sure. And Craig from Death
553
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.640
Crocodile's watching and he says, believe me, we've asked. He's
554
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.359
not interested.
555
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.559
Well, thank thank you for asking him. You guys are awesome.
556
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:20.440
At least you know they're on it, and they're like mind. Yeah.
557
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:25.279
Next up, Blue Underground capitalized on the David Carridine kill
558
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:28.079
Bill popularity at the moment and said, let's announce our
559
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.440
next four K title, which is going to be Circle
560
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.960
of Iron from nineteen seventy eight from the mind of
561
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.880
Bruce Lee. I got to imagine as a Cannon fan,
562
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:38.920
you've liked some Blue Underground stuff over the years.
563
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:41.799
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean I still a lot of
564
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.400
my faulty releases are still there. I haven't gone to
565
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.079
the four k's yet. I've still got the Blue Rays
566
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.240
sitting on my shelf. But yeah, Blue Underground again, that's
567
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.559
a label that they've been at it for a long time,
568
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:54.799
and I've appreciated a lot of their a lot of
569
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:55.599
their releases.
570
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:01.279
Yeah, I just can't imagine people not loving Blue Endergrind.
571
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.720
I mean, some of their four k's look absolutely incredible.
572
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.240
So yeah, eager to see this. Kerodine is iconic. I'm
573
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:10.759
stoked for it, especially because I don't have a Blu
574
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:13.839
Ray either. That's the best thing. Next. We had heard
575
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.039
about this title coming literally a little over a year
576
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.839
and a half ago, I think, but now coming on
577
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.759
February tenth on four K from Keno is Somewhere in Time.
578
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:27.279
This is the Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour film. This
579
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.599
has a brand new HDR Dolby Vision Master from a
580
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:31.680
four K scan of the negative. It's got a new
581
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.799
commentary from Tim Lucas on here. We got a new
582
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.720
commentary by Julie Krugo and Peter Hancoff. There's a archival
583
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.279
commentary on here as well, and then there is a
584
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.160
bunch of archival extras on the Blu Ray disc. This
585
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:47.480
is a very similar story to speaking of Def Crocodile,
586
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.640
the film Serious that they put out on Blu Ray
587
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.839
this year, which is incredible. So if you guys are
588
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:55.640
into Somewhere in Time, or if you're in if you
589
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.440
like Serious and you've not seen this, these are probably
590
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.559
a safe fire. Have you seen some were in Time?
591
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:05.079
I have, I have I Christopher Reeve and Cannon have
592
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:09.079
a very close history together for there for a few years.
593
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.279
This makes me I enjoys Somewhere in Time, but it
594
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:16.279
makes me really long for a nice release of Street
595
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:20.000
Smart as Somebody Somebody like somewhere along the lines. It
596
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:24.839
seems like a perfect fun City release. But yeah, Christopher
597
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:32.400
Reeve again like great great actor, Shakespearean train actor, and
598
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.359
you know, who knows what kind of acting career he
599
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.960
would have had had not Superman kind of I think
600
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:41.440
pushed him towards that, and people only would associate him
601
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.000
with that. So it's it's fun to see the movies
602
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:46.960
where he did get to do something that wasn't cap
603
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.720
and Tights.
604
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:52.359
Agreed fully agreed. There more Keino four K On February tenth,
605
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:54.319
we are getting a four K of Dead Again from
606
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:57.200
nineteen ninety one. This is the Kenneth Brana film that
607
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.920
a lot of people love. I leave. This also came
608
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.359
out from Imprint, so some people might have the Blu
609
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:05.200
Ray there, because I think that was the first Blu ray.
610
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.119
There are some archival commentaries on here, but that's it. No,
611
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:11.839
nothing new as far as extras are you are you
612
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:13.000
a Brana guy at all?
613
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:16.160
I can't say I'm familiar with this one. I do
614
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.240
see Hannah Schigola on there, who I love. I was
615
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.799
talking about Fastbender being one of my favorite filmmakers earlier,
616
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.359
and I know, yeah, she's in everything there's and then
617
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:29.640
for her from the Delta Force again, she's somebody who
618
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.000
just popped up in her late career. Later career is
619
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:35.039
very interesting. But yeah, I've not seen this, but I'll
620
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.039
I'll watch anything with her in it.
621
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:39.960
Yeah, I've not seen this one either. I've heard this
622
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.759
is really great, especially for people that love Kenneth Brana,
623
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.079
but not the Shakespeare stuff, and I'm sure this is
624
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.519
quite good. I've always loved the poster for this, even
625
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.720
though I've never seen the movie. I love the poster
626
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:57.160
design here. Next up, we got a four K steal
627
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.279
book coming Five Nights at freddy two from this year.
628
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.599
This is in theaters right now. They're also putting out
629
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:05.279
a standard four K a Blu ray and a DVD.
630
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.839
No word on extras or release date yet, but let
631
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.240
me guess this is not one that you are clamoring
632
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:10.920
to see, sir.
633
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:16.599
So I yeah, again, I have a kid, My older child,
634
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.920
being ten, is very interested in the YouTube videos that
635
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.319
have one of the video games that they're playing and
636
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:26.039
people talking over it. So that is all I really
637
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:29.200
know about the Five Nights at Freddy's is it's my
638
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:33.119
children watching other people play it, as you know, very
639
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:37.680
loud people talk over top of it. So it's I
640
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.160
don't know. I'm probably a little would be tainted if
641
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.799
this movie. If these movies are are good, I think
642
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.240
that might spoil them a little bit for me, just
643
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:52.720
because it's my children enjoy I'm enjoying watching movies with them,
644
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.079
but that their favorite forms of entertainment aren't necessarily stuff
645
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:59.920
that appeals to me. Play through video.
646
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.519
So I saw this in the theater this weekend. I
647
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:06.799
did see the first one with my kids. This movie
648
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:11.760
was hot, hot garbage. This is easily like bottom ten
649
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.440
or twelve of the year for me. I think this
650
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.239
had some of the worst dialogue I've heard. Maybe ever,
651
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:18.880
I would not be surprised if we found out years
652
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:22.320
from now that this was literally like the dialogue at
653
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:25.880
least possibly written by AI like that level of bad
654
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:31.280
things said that don't sound human in any way, spoken
655
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:34.679
by humans, not like characters. So yes, I did not
656
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.599
like this movie. If you love this movie, I'm sorry.
657
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.920
I could not stand this movie. This movie felt like
658
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:44.760
it was four hours long. Next up, though, Lions Gay
659
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:48.599
Limited this week announced a four K steelbook coming on
660
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:53.639
January thirteenth of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever. Erica Schultz least
661
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:57.119
favorite director Eli Roth. I actually really liked this movie
662
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.760
quite a bit. It's gonna have Dolby vision on this.
663
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.880
Got the steel book that it's coming in, and then
664
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:05.119
the brand new extras. There's a piece called Scratching the
665
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.119
Surface a look back, and then there's establishing shot with
666
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.119
Eli Roth, and then all kinds of archival extras. Are
667
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:12.480
you into Cabin Fever?
668
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.639
I have not seen Cabin Fever probably since it came out.
669
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:19.280
How long are we now?
670
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:21.679
Two? Yeah, so I would have been.
671
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.960
In New York d that would have been so yeah,
672
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.280
it's it's been a long time.
673
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:26.920
Wow.
674
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.480
So yeah, no, I need to jump on I always
675
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.679
forget about lines Gay Limited, and they do have some
676
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.280
core releases I've been By the time I think of it,
677
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.199
I know that it Falls is probably sold out. I
678
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:45.559
know that steel book crazy Okay, Okay, I might have
679
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.960
to remember to jump on there, because again, when stuff
680
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.719
is like limited or available through only limited spaces, it's
681
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:56.800
it's easy for me to forget about it.
682
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.639
Yeah. There, their Dogma release is current sold out, but
683
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:03.280
that got a standard four K everywhere, so that's not
684
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.400
super crazy. And then the other one I happened to
685
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.199
jump on it when it first came out as The Descent.
686
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.920
This one is currently sold out too. But other than that,
687
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.599
like a couple of their first releases are impossible to
688
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.519
buy at the moment, but pretty much everything else is
689
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.960
in stock, so I'm trying to get free shipping. It's
690
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.880
one hundred bucks for free shipping. That's like three titles.
691
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:26.039
Yeah, I have The Third Man on my wish list
692
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.199
as well, so I'm probably pretty close to free shipping
693
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:31.280
already with Yeah, It follows and The Thin Man are
694
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:32.239
the Third Man?
695
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.320
Well, if you want a weird one to maybe throw in.
696
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:37.840
They are also on that same day putting out a
697
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.519
Blu Ray of Mystery Team from two thousand and nine.
698
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.639
This is the Derek comedy film starring Donald Glover, who
699
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.039
is childish Gambino. This movie has been nearly impossible to
700
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.280
find on DVD, even was never released on Blu Ray.
701
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.599
This is the first Blu Ray release and I adore
702
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:58.039
this movie. I am so stoked that this is getting
703
00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:59.639
a Blu Ray release. It is coming out with the
704
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:01.280
brand new twenty twenty five Q and A with the
705
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.079
filmmakers and the cast. The only thing that I will
706
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:08.159
say here this makes zero sense as a Restron video release.
707
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:11.519
This has nothing to do with the era of Vestron video.
708
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.480
It was not released by Vesturn. It did not come
709
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:18.760
out when people even saw Vestron titles anywhere. This makes
710
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:22.360
no sense that being said, the movie's amazing. I don't
711
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.079
care what line it's on. I'm just glad that I'll
712
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:25.079
have a great release for it.
713
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.239
Yeah, that's it and has a cool, cool cover. Yeah,
714
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.239
I was. I went to NYUS and the Donald Glover
715
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.519
or d C. Pearson, they were all NYU kids, So
716
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:38.719
that was. That's one. Another one that many many years
717
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:40.719
ago now since I've seen it. But that's awesome that
718
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:44.360
it's getting. I mean, that's a very cool looking release.
719
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:46.159
And you can get it for twenty five bucks. And
720
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:48.519
yet the DVD just two weeks ago was like one
721
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:55.559
hundred and ten dollars. Wow, kind of crazy. Yeah. Yeah, again,
722
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.679
makes no sense as a restron video title. Honestly, a
723
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.119
couple of them have not. The fact that they did
724
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.159
May was kind of pushing it. Hider in the house
725
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:06.519
came back. That one made sense for Vesta on this
726
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:08.400
not so much. It doesn't all have to be horror.
727
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:10.440
Comedy makes sense too, but I mean.
728
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:12.920
It looks like a Vestron style like cover art though too.
729
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.400
So at least say at least they went there. That's
730
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:16.880
kind of a lot of credit for that.
731
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.320
Yeah, I would agree there all right. Next from Will
732
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:25.400
Go USA twenty twenty five's Frontier Crucible is getting a
733
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:28.639
four K and a Blu Ray release from will Go
734
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.559
on February seventeenth. This is from the producer of Bone
735
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:37.559
Tomahawk and starring Armie Hammer, actual cannibal Army Hammer. So
736
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:39.960
I think there's a lot of people that are going
737
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.480
to be not very happy about the Armie Hammer thing,
738
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.920
but also the producer of Bone Tomahawk. So this probably
739
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.480
isn't for everybody. But it looks kind of okay, it
740
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.840
looks kind of cheaply made. But William H. Macy, Thomas Jane,
741
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:54.639
I don't know. I kind of want to see it.
742
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.000
I this is totally past me. This is the first
743
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:00.519
I've ever heard of this movie.
744
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:03.280
So this is the first most watching this I've ever
745
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:10.679
heard of this too. Yeah, let's see what is next.
746
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:15.960
We are getting Dexter Resurrection the complete first season on
747
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.599
February seventeenth on Blu Ray DVD from Paramount. I've never
748
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:21.480
been a Dexter guy. Are you into Dexter?
749
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:23.320
I have not seen Dexter.
750
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.599
No, me, neither at all. Barry the tick is making
751
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.920
the joke. He says, wait, he fantasized about eating people,
752
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:33.639
but he never did my actual cannibal joke. That was
753
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.400
a Shilah buff reference, by the way, from a song
754
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.119
that was the whole point. See Colton knows what I'm
755
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:44.480
talking about. I was not saying Armie Hammer actually eats people.
756
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:50.920
That was anyways, bad attempt at humor. Also from Paramount
757
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:52.960
on March third, they're putting out a four K steel
758
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:56.800
book of Star Trek Strange New World season three, and
759
00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:58.679
if you don't want a steal book, you got to
760
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:01.079
get a Blu ray or a DVD. They are not
761
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.480
putting out a standard four K. I have not been
762
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:06.320
one to ever keep up with Star Trek or you
763
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:07.199
a Trekker.
764
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:13.000
I've watched some of it over the years, a lot
765
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:15.320
of times with I have a hard time getting into
766
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:18.159
a huge, long, storied franchise.
767
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:19.559
It's very intimidating.
768
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.079
It is. It is like I watched Doctor Who, but
769
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:26.320
I've not seen anything other than a few episodes here
770
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.599
and there before the relaunch, because it hears me how
771
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:34.079
much there is and I'm weak. I guess I'll admit
772
00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:37.840
I'm weak, but I get easily frightened.
773
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:42.480
I can't imagine starting Star Trek in twenty twenty five
774
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:45.599
and saying I'm gonna watch Everything Star Trek.
775
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.599
Yeah, yeah, I've seen a lot of the original series
776
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:53.400
back back in the day, but saying the next Generation
777
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:55.320
when it was on, but I can't say I remember
778
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:56.280
much unfortunately.
779
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.679
Yeah, I think the movie was mine. Yeah, that's true,
780
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:04.280
all right. Next January twentieth, we're getting a four K
781
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.920
blu ray dual feature release, not dual feature, sorry, dual
782
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:10.840
format release, and then a DVD release from dcal of
783
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.760
Keeper from this year Osgood Perkins Keeper. He's going to
784
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.400
have a commentary on there and a trailer and a teaser.
785
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.440
But that is it on the disc Osgood Perkins. You
786
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:22.719
checked out any of his work?
787
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:25.079
Well, what are his other ones?
788
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:28.519
Black Coat's Daughter, Long Legs, the Monkey.
789
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:31.400
Okay, long Legs? Yes, I saw in Blackout's Daughter that
790
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:34.800
was Long Legs was wild. That was that was That
791
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.840
was one of the ones that I wanted to see
792
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:41.760
in theaters. And actually, as soon as it came available
793
00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:46.119
for rental for they like almost ticket price, I did
794
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.239
it because it say, kid's hard, it's hard to get out.
795
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:53.000
But but yeah, that was one of the few movies
796
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.599
that I watched like very very close to it's theatrical window.
797
00:41:56.599 --> 00:42:00.159
When it was on available for rental. So yeah, it's yes,
798
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:02.920
I'll have to check this out because I love both
799
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:06.559
Black Coat Daughter and I really enjoyed Long Legs.
800
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.360
I did not love this. I really loved black Coat's
801
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:13.199
Daughter and Long Legs are my two favorite from him.
802
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:15.760
The Monkey felt was a little bit off, and then
803
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:18.880
this Man. This fell pretty completely flat for me. I
804
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:22.840
thought it looked great, just incredible visuals. I just felt
805
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.320
like I did not smoke enough to see the plot
806
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.960
line that did not exist. I say, as somebody who's
807
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.440
never smoked anything in his life. Yeah, I just can't
808
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:33.360
get into keep her. I hope people like it. Josh
809
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:38.360
is defending it. I'm sorry, Josh, not for me. Let's
810
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:42.760
keep going here. We are getting Hunting Season. Speaking of
811
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.920
movies that a lot of people are gonna avoid. January twentieth,
812
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.880
We're getting a blu ray from Goldwyn Films of Hunting
813
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:52.239
Season starring Mel Gibson. Says a girl and her father
814
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.719
living deep in the woods rescue a wounded young woman
815
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:56.480
that washes up on the bank of the local river.
816
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.400
Their lives are forever changed by a mysterious stranger and
817
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.440
the ruthless drug lord who will stop it nothing to
818
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:06.760
kill her once and for all. I don't love a
819
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:10.360
lot of modern Mel Gibson. Some of this stuff has
820
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:13.480
been Okay, I'm a big Apocalypto fan. Anything Mel Gibson, you.
821
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:17.320
Love all on top of my the giant stack of
822
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:19.920
releases I bought through the groove sale for this one
823
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:22.639
was Lethal Weapon. That the four K release of that.
824
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.159
So that's what I'm eager to watch. And I guess
825
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.079
is seasonal now that I think about it, it's true. Yeah,
826
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:30.039
So okay, I have an excuse. I have an excuse
827
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:31.639
to move that to the top of the pile.
828
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:33.880
Shoot. You can talk about that tonight if I cover
829
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:34.880
all your duplicates.
830
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.840
Oh all right, I have plenty of backups. I have
831
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:40.039
plenty of backups.
832
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:44.159
February third, we're getting a four K from Universal of
833
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.119
A Beautiful Mind from two thousand and one. This is
834
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.480
the Russell Crowe film. Kind of surprised they poured it over.
835
00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.360
I believe pretty much every special feature that's ever been
836
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.480
out for this film. Nothing new, unfortunately, but you got
837
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:58.920
Dolby Vision and HDR on the disc. Good looking release.
838
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.119
It looks like pretty solid and not to mention it's
839
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:04.440
fairly cheap. It's like twenty bucks everywhere, which can't really complain.
840
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.719
I agree with Craig the amount of air brushing on
841
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:11.760
Russell Crowe is a little weird, especially after just seeing
842
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.639
him in Nuremberg this year. But yeah, this is a
843
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.079
good movie, and at twenty bucks for probably a really
844
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:18.880
great looking four K, it's not bad.
845
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.599
Yeah. I thought my glasses were just dirty looking at
846
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:23.000
the cover of that there.
847
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:28.800
Now, why is it so blurry? Yeah, not at all.
848
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:32.000
You are seeing perfectly fine, and the designer is not.
849
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:36.760
Warner Archive released a ton of announcements this week. Are
850
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:37.920
are you into Warner Archive?
851
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.960
I am. I am a sneak preview. I do have
852
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.280
a Warner Archive release in my Christmas pile, but I
853
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:48.000
don't have this. I've had some of their other animation
854
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:49.559
releases they've put out.
855
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.239
I you know, obviously we talked about the whole HBO
856
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:57.960
and or not h FEO necessarily, but Warner Brothers being
857
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.960
purchased by Netflix and or p Amount at the moment,
858
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:04.280
depending on how it shakes out. I'm not going to say,
859
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.679
like other people on here will say, hey, go out
860
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.000
to support, but I'm gonna say, if you see Warner
861
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.480
Archives stuff on sale or a title that you really want.
862
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.039
The next year and a half is probably going to
863
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:16.920
be a really great time to pick up Warner Archive
864
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:18.960
titles because we don't know how long they're going to
865
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.800
be around at this point. So I would strongly suggest
866
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.320
supporting what you feel like you want to support for
867
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:29.039
Warner Archive and or Warner Brothers or whatever, because who
868
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.039
knows if they're going to license anything out anymore, put
869
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:32.920
anything out on disc, or put it all behind a
870
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:33.960
streaming paywall.
871
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:36.880
And that was one. Now again it's a it's an
872
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.960
odd website that does the Warner Archives sales zing or
873
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.920
something zing yeah moviezing. It's once or twice a year,
874
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:46.639
but it always gets me for a lot because I'll
875
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.440
look him. I'll be every time it's like I thought
876
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.760
I had everything I wanted. No, no, I do not.
877
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:53.119
Here's another you.
878
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.199
Know, there's what the hell?
879
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.519
Usually because you have to get it in quantity as
880
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.400
a four too, so I'm like, okay, now I'm I'm
881
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:03.800
buying another dozen discs here and this sale, So every
882
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:05.880
time that comes up, ageain. Warner Archive has done some
883
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:09.840
awesome stuff from being a major a major studio too,
884
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.880
really grabbing some deep cuts. I agree the Busby Berkeley
885
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:19.119
movies that they've they've put out, which I've enjoyed having
886
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:23.280
on Blu Ray. But it's like, oh gosh, I'm afraid
887
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:27.000
we won't ever see a nicer release now than what
888
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:28.360
they have of a few of those.
889
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:34.320
Yeah, that's true. That is sadly quite likely, actually, especially
890
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:36.880
because some of them have not sold super well. Probably
891
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.960
right right, all right, I believe all of these are
892
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.079
coming out on January twenty seventh, and all of them
893
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:46.920
are coming on Blu Ray. No four K announcements. So
894
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:50.320
we have the new Fred and Barney Show, the Complete series.
895
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:52.960
This is from nineteen seventy nine and is a Flintstones.
896
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:56.760
It is a Flintstone spin off, and this was almost
897
00:46:56.840 --> 00:47:00.639
twenty years after the TV debut of The Flintstones. And
898
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:03.280
this is going to have ten ADP masters from four
899
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.440
K scans of the ocns on all of these episodes.
900
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.119
We got two discs on this release. It is four
901
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:13.079
hundred and ten minutes worth of animation. We got subtitles,
902
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:15.599
no extras on here, but again two discs where it's
903
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.239
worth of lots of great animation. Definitely need this for sure.
904
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:25.519
Next up, from them is Mario Lonza's For the First Time.
905
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:29.119
This is from nineteen fifty nine. This has a classic
906
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:32.639
bugs bunny cartoon called long Haired Hair and the original trailer.
907
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.280
This is from a six K scan of the original
908
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:40.480
Techno Rama Negative. This is really great looking. Not seeing
909
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.039
this movie? Is this one that you've seen?
910
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:48.880
No, I haven't seen this one me neither.
911
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.119
Let's keep going. Then. Next is By the Light of
912
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.280
the Silvery Moon. This is from nineteen fifty three. This
913
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.320
has classic WB cartoon on here from A to Z.
914
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:00.800
We got classic WB comic short. So you want a
915
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:02.920
television set and so you want to learn to dance?
916
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.719
Plus the original trailer. This is a four K scan
917
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:10.119
of the original Technicolor Negatives. I love how much they
918
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:15.119
are putting into restoring and archiving all these great things.
919
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:18.440
So the animation discs I was thinking of that are
920
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:22.199
their tech savery releases. They're they're just these very hefty
921
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:27.000
sets that and again they're not only the restorations were
922
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:29.519
very good, but the extras. They have fun stuff with
923
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:34.000
various like film reels and the A lot of the
924
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:36.960
films like this one, we'll have a comedy short, like
925
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.000
an animated short before them. It's it's very very cool.
926
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:43.639
It's it's stuff that again like we we would have seen,
927
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:47.119
you know, twenty years ago on DVD releases when extra
928
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.199
features are new and exciting, but now only the boutiques do.
929
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.320
But Warner Archive is a one of the studios that
930
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:55.440
still for as long as they're going to keep doing it,
931
00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.239
doing these very thoughtful, very thoughtful releases with stuff that
932
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:02.960
they don't need to put on there, but we appreciate
933
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.599
that we do that they do. That's this is an
934
00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:06.239
extra mile. It's looking at factional love.
935
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:09.800
And I mean, who else is going to access like
936
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:12.960
a six KSE scan of the original Technoma negatives of
937
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:18.639
any of these That is nigh impossible for anybody. I
938
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:22.280
love it all right. Next one up is from nineteen
939
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:26.320
forty six, The Verdict with Peter Lourie. This one is
940
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.880
says Superintendent Grodman of Scotland Yard built an air tight
941
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.840
case into a noose around a killer's neck. Then too
942
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.519
late evidence exonerates the hangman. Grodman retires in shame. Then
943
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.239
a new case, a diabolical locked room murder, gives Grodman
944
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:42.000
the chance to redeem himself. Sidney Green Street and Peter Lorie,
945
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.199
whose charismatic screen teamings began with The Maltese Falcon and
946
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:48.280
continued through many beloved films during the forties, played Grodman
947
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.840
and his effete artist comrade hunting for clues in the
948
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:55.360
fog bam gas lit streets of eighteen ninety London. I
949
00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:58.719
need to see this. This has two classic Warner Brothers cartoons,
950
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.239
hair Raising Hair and Birth of An It's got some
951
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:03.880
radio programs with Peter Lourie, and then it's got one
952
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.760
with Green Street on there as well. And then this
953
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:10.280
is a four K scan of the OCN. Yeah, great
954
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:17.760
sounding disc awesome Yaba, David, don't on that animation. I
955
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:24.119
will note that Gary. Thanks. Next up is Manpower. This
956
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:28.199
is a huge cast here, Edward g Robinson, Marlina Dietrich,
957
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.760
George Raft nineteen forty one's Manpower. This one has a
958
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:34.559
classic Warner Brothers cartoon Snow Time for Comedy, and then
959
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:38.039
Joe Glowed the Firefly. This again four K scan of
960
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.960
the original nitrate negative. Can't really argue with that, especially
961
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:42.000
with Dietrich in it.
962
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:44.480
It's gonna be gorgeous.
963
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.000
Yeah, absolutely, And well I was.
964
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:50.920
Gonna say, like Warner Archive, you could just go to
965
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.320
their website. If you have any need for Technicolor musicals,
966
00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:58.320
you're not gonna find more than more in one place
967
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.199
than the strength of the Warner archive.
968
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:06.039
That's true, especially with that good of restoration sits right. Next.
969
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.079
One of the bigger ones that I know a lot
970
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.000
of people are going to be after nineteen fifty two
971
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:12.280
is the Narrow Margin coming on the same day. This
972
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:14.280
one is a four K scan of the ocen As well.
973
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.320
We have got an audio commentary by William Friedkin. This
974
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:19.599
is not a new commentary obviously, that was a joke,
975
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:23.000
including audio interview excerpts by Richard Fleischer. We got a
976
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.679
classic short subject, so You Never Tell a Lie, And
977
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.840
then a classic cartoon called the Super Snooper. Yeah, this
978
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:32.320
sounds great. You got Charles McGraw, Marie Windsor, and Jacqueline White.
979
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:34.840
It says pack your bags for one of movie history's
980
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:38.400
greatest trips. A nifty film noir thriller that Time Magazine
981
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:41.000
deemed worthy of being bracketed, and the select group of
982
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:45.039
train thrillers headed by Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. On
983
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:51.440
that note, I must own this. And then red Dust
984
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:53.880
from nineteen thirty two is the next one, this one
985
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:57.639
with Clark Gable and Gene Harlowe. This has two MGM
986
00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:01.079
technicolor shorts called Over the Counter and Wild People and
987
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:04.920
audio only Golf Screen Guild Theater broadcast with Clark and
988
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.119
Ann Southern. And then the original nineteen thirty two text
989
00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:11.440
theatrical trailer including alternate scenes from the final feature. That's
990
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:14.119
a really cool feature. And then this is from a
991
00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:16.559
four K scan of best preservation elements on this one,
992
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:19.840
so not quite the OCN, but as best as they
993
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:20.239
can do.
994
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.960
Can all these sound wonderful?
995
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.519
Yeah? Vinnie is saying that the Warn't archive titles are
996
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.079
on sale right now on movies, saying thirty percent off
997
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:32.679
if you get three of their movies.
998
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:34.159
Oh that's awesome.
999
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:38.559
There goes my budget, which means if I'm doing the
1000
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:40.519
math right, I think that puts it. Most of them
1001
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:43.880
around seventeen point fifty, so not quite as cheap as
1002
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:47.320
the four for forty nine that they normally do. And honestly,
1003
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.159
they normally do one of those around Black Friday, and
1004
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:52.360
they didn't this year. I wonder if that's coming up.
1005
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:57.400
Maybe there was a lot of sales this year at
1006
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.599
the same time. Maybe they just quietly bowed out.
1007
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:03.400
Yeah, I could see it might be advantageous to hold
1008
00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:05.880
it a few weeks before or maybe yeah, that's right
1009
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:07.360
till now.
1010
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:10.800
That's it from one of our archive. It sounds like a
1011
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:12.920
really solid slate. I think it was seven releases. Kind
1012
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:15.840
of crazy. January twenty seventh, big release day for them.
1013
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:19.360
Next March tenth, we're getting a blu ray release from
1014
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:23.079
Visual Vengeance of the Paranormal from nineteen ninety eight. Have
1015
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:25.320
you checked out anything from Visual Vengeance.
1016
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.119
I don't know. I have not. I can't say. Unfortunately.
1017
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.880
Now this is a label that focuses a lot of
1018
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:38.920
like shot on video or shot on digital video releases
1019
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:42.280
that they go over the top and overload with extras.
1020
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:44.679
This looks like another one of those films. It's going
1021
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:46.760
to be a region free. There's a new director supervised
1022
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:49.639
transfer from the original tape elements. We get a commentary
1023
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:51.920
with the director Todd Norris, commentary with Todd Norris and
1024
00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:55.360
the composer. There's new cast and crew interviews. There is
1025
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:58.760
an interview with Todd Sheets and Todd Norris. Some TV bumpers,
1026
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:02.079
blooper Real, all kinds of multiple short films, and then
1027
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:04.320
if you buy the limited edition you get all of
1028
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:06.960
this extra paper goodies of course, a folded mini poster
1029
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:10.760
reversible sleeve. You get a stick your own VHS sticker sheet,
1030
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:14.280
limited slipcover with original art by Uncle Frank. You get
1031
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.159
the ghost Finder viewer that they're putting in here, and
1032
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:20.719
then the limited promo flyer z is for zombie movies.
1033
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:28.480
There is a lot coming with this one. Brendan says,
1034
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:34.960
this movie has three views on letterbox right now. In
1035
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.039
other words, pre order now and you might be able
1036
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.920
to be view number five. If that one doesn't tickle
1037
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:44.480
your fancy, don't worry. On March tenth, they are also
1038
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:47.719
releasing Colony Mutation on Blu Ray. This is from nineteen
1039
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:50.559
ninety five and it says a scientist does her husband,
1040
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:53.679
oh sorry, doses her husband. That is a different type
1041
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:56.239
of ex rated film. A scientist doses her husband with
1042
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:59.159
an experimental serum which causes his body parts to separate
1043
00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:01.639
from his torso and take on lives of their own.
1044
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:03.800
I guess I kind of was describing a triple X
1045
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:06.800
movie anyways. This one is regent free, has a new director,
1046
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.920
supervised two K transfer and restoration from the Super eight
1047
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:14.199
film elements. We've got multiple commentaries on here, lots of interviews,
1048
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:18.239
alternate original nineteen ninety eight VHS version, the twenty thirteen
1049
00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:23.199
DVD version. There are lots of other Visual Avengines trailers
1050
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:25.880
on here and then again stick your own VHS stickers,
1051
00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:29.119
reversilessly folded poster, a book with notes by Tony Strauss
1052
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:33.079
and then a slipcover with art by Justin Coone's calling
1053
00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:40.199
a mutation looks very interesting? Yes, Stan, the Tom Burna
1054
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:45.280
I believe, stop motion heavy super eight millimeter film. Check
1055
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:51.599
it out. Of course I clicked away accidentally. So the
1056
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:54.000
next one is coming soon on Blu ray from Keta
1057
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:56.599
Lober And that is Death of a Gunfighter from nineteen
1058
00:55:56.679 --> 00:56:00.199
sixty nine with Richard Winmark and Lena Horne. Are you
1059
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:01.840
a Western guy?
1060
00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:05.599
I not as big as some people have, but I
1061
00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:09.400
mean again, like the classics. I not too long ago.
1062
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.960
I watched the Kenil over Shane. That was a pick
1063
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:14.920
up from a recent sale, the four K, and that's
1064
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:20.760
a gorgeous one. Speaking of Warner restorations, the Searchers was
1065
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:27.000
a beautiful, beautiful I I so I love revisionist westerns.
1066
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:30.719
I love the psychological Westerns. There's a lot of the
1067
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:35.480
stuff before that that in the Cannon, not this two ends,
1068
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:40.360
but the canonical westerns. I have some big gaps that
1069
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:43.119
I am kind of awigh on me. I'm kind of
1070
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:46.719
ashamed of there. There's there's a few in there, but
1071
00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:50.280
the classics. I love. Kynon is still one of my
1072
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:55.719
favorite favorite films of all time. Jeremi Johnson's one that
1073
00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:58.239
I believe. That's the Warner Archives sale. I think that's
1074
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.079
when my pull up my Google talk and see where
1075
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:05.679
I need to grab from where. But yeah, this is
1076
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:07.360
not one that I have seen yet.
1077
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:10.679
I've not seen it either. I'm kind of the same
1078
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:13.880
as you. I've got lots of missing major titles that
1079
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:16.119
I need to check out. This one. The big thing
1080
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:18.920
that gets me is it's directed by Don Siegel as
1081
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:21.159
Alan Smithy. I believe if I remember right, this is
1082
00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:25.000
like the first Alan Smithy directed film. Oh wow, so
1083
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:26.440
as part of film history.
1084
00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:28.599
Yeah, Smithy wou not to be very prolific.
1085
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.599
Yeah, it's silly film history, but hey, if you want
1086
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:33.039
to be a part of it, this is one to
1087
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:38.480
support more. Keno Lobert, February seventeenth, they're releasing the film
1088
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:41.960
ray on four K, the two thousand and four Jamie
1089
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:45.280
Foxx film Ray. I love this movie. This one has
1090
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:48.679
a new commentary by Dwayne Epstein on here, and we
1091
00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:51.000
also have all kinds of archival extras on here. Have
1092
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:52.440
you seen Ray?
1093
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:55.800
I did see Ray. I am afraid to revisit a
1094
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:57.360
lot of these, and I've also I've missed some of
1095
00:57:57.400 --> 00:57:59.599
the newer biopechs. I didn't see the Freddy Mercury one
1096
00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:02.519
or I did see the Dylan one that came out recently.
1097
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:10.920
But Walkhard has ruined most musical like biographical music films
1098
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:15.039
for me, and I know that this one I won't
1099
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:17.000
be able to give it a fair shot. And I
1100
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:21.840
believe Walkhart's was released was announced very recently or rumored
1101
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:28.639
or something soon, But yeah, it ruined musical biopex for me.
1102
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:32.360
I agree fully. Walkhart is literally one of my favorite
1103
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:35.079
movies of all time. I think it's a masterpiece. I
1104
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:39.239
believe it is rumored because it was on the I
1105
00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:41.320
think it was Sony. I think it's a Sony film.
1106
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:43.800
They did a survey for films that people won on
1107
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:45.480
four K and it was one of the listed ones
1108
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.440
and I think it was last year. They put out
1109
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:51.760
a survey and like everything on there has been announced
1110
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:53.880
for four K, so everybody's just saying, well, everything on
1111
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.559
here is probably gonna come to four K. So Walkhart
1112
00:58:56.599 --> 00:58:58.480
possibly coming. But the big thing, I don't know if
1113
00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:01.480
you saw this news, John Riley announced that next year,
1114
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:03.599
in twenty twenty six, they are doing a walk Hard
1115
00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:05.079
live concert tour.
1116
00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:09.960
Oh my gosh, all right, all right, New York or Boston.
1117
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.800
I gotta see where I can get tickets.
1118
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:15.719
I heard that and I said, no, matter where it's playing,
1119
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:18.039
I must go to one of these performances.
1120
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.760
That's amazing. That's amazing.
1121
00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:23.639
Yeah. I think it was on Stevo's podcast where he
1122
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:27.199
said it live, and I immediately was like, no freaking way,
1123
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:28.440
I have to be there.
1124
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:29.559
That's so cool.
1125
00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:33.280
All right. Next February twenty fourth, Keno is releasing a
1126
00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:36.679
box set of sorts of the Peter Sellers early classics
1127
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.679
that they have announced recently as getting standalone releases. So
1128
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:42.199
if you pre ordered some of those, this is probably
1129
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:43.599
gonna feel like a little bit of a slap in
1130
00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:45.960
the face, but it's kind of nice because now you
1131
00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:47.920
can cancel those or pick them all up in one
1132
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:50.599
fell swoop in this, You've got man in a cocktat,
1133
00:59:50.639 --> 00:59:52.920
I'm all right, Heaven's above two way Stretch, and the
1134
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:55.199
Wrong Arm of the Law. All of these are getting
1135
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:58.599
standalone releases, so if you are wanting three or four
1136
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:00.679
of them, this is easily to be the most cost
1137
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:02.800
effective way to get them. So check it out. Peter
1138
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.119
Seller's Incredible or are you a Peter Seller's guy?
1139
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:05.800
I am?
1140
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:06.239
I am.
1141
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.480
The Pink Panther movies are one that I'm eager to
1142
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:12.760
with my kids to show to them, and it's probably
1143
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:14.840
one that there's gonna be racier moments that I have
1144
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:18.199
forgotten about that I'm gonna have some regrets, but I
1145
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:19.000
think they're gonna love.
1146
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:23.360
It's always better off to apologize rather than withhold the film.
1147
01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:25.559
So good luck, thank you, I thank you.
1148
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:27.400
I can't wait for those Pink Panther four k's. They
1149
01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:31.800
announced that it's gonna be another one that's not super
1150
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:34.280
safe to show the kids. February twenty fourth, there is
1151
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:39.679
a light blu ray releasing of The Stewardess Is from
1152
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:42.679
nineteen sixty nine. This is coming from Keto Lober as
1153
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:44.880
part of their cult line. This has a new audio
1154
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:47.960
commentary with David del Val and Miles Hunter. It's also
1155
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:50.519
got all kinds of archival extras. This is going to
1156
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:53.280
be able to be seen in both stereoscopic and and
1157
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:56.800
a glyph formats on the three D. I don't think
1158
01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:58.880
I own a copy of this movie, so I will
1159
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:00.800
probably have to pick this up. Have you seen the
1160
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:01.519
Stewardess Is?
1161
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.000
I have not, and I'm actually pretty goer to check
1162
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:07.880
this one out because Qino. They did such a good job.
1163
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:09.280
I never thought would get a three D release of
1164
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:11.960
Treasure of the Four Crowns that I would be and
1165
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:14.679
it was amazing. They did such a fantastic job. So
1166
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:18.039
I was a three D skeptic. I'd never had a
1167
01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:20.599
three television or anything, but then that release is like, okay,
1168
01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:22.920
I need to stay on top of these. There's just
1169
01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:23.800
so much fun.
1170
01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:27.360
So everything over this, everything that they have touched with
1171
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:31.000
the three D film archive, it ends up just looking aces.
1172
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:32.480
They are so great looking.
1173
01:01:33.559 --> 01:01:36.920
Yeah, this is definitely going to be on my radar.
1174
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:41.000
Nice next up, speaking of Doctor Who. A few moments
1175
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:43.559
ago March sixteenth, over in the UK, there's a blu
1176
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:45.679
ray set coming from the BBC of Doctor Who, the
1177
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.880
collection season twenty one from nineteen eighty four. This is
1178
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:52.719
going to include a bunch of the Seventh Store, sorry,
1179
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.519
seven of the stories from that time, and it is
1180
01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:57.719
going to have all kinds of extras on here. These
1181
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.199
box sets, they go all out. Obviously. The Doctor Who
1182
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:03.719
fans are loving these. It's a ten disc set, hours
1183
01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:08.360
of special features, lots of good stuff. I'm sure you've
1184
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:09.840
not seen this year then, from the sound of.
1185
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:12.159
It, I haven't. And I don't know if anybody has
1186
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.679
any advice on how to get into the pre relaunch
1187
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:18.719
Doctor Who. I'm happy to hear it because I don't
1188
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:20.920
know if I should work backwards or if there's a
1189
01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:24.079
definitive place to start. I know you can't start all
1190
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:25.920
the way from the beginning because a lot of those
1191
01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.400
are lost. But yeah, if there's any advice, I'm open
1192
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.400
to hearing it because I'm very curious. I would love
1193
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:35.239
to see the earlier stuff, but I'm intimidated by the
1194
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:35.880
amount of it.
1195
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:38.840
There is so much, and if you just even just
1196
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:41.360
start to like research how much there is, even that
1197
01:02:41.480 --> 01:02:45.000
is just too much to find out already. It's crazy. Anyways,
1198
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.719
I think on the older stuff, they're almost close to
1199
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:50.199
being caught up on getting everything out on Blu Ray,
1200
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.679
so there's probably not a lot of these releases left,
1201
01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:54.960
so if you're catching up to these, the light at
1202
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:59.880
the end of the tunnel is near. Next up, February seventeenth,
1203
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:02.679
Rarero Video here in the US is putting out Plot
1204
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:05.360
of Fear from nineteen seventy six. This is done through
1205
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:08.599
Keno Labert Distribution. And if you're recognizing this title and
1206
01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:10.880
this font and this art style and all that, that's
1207
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:13.760
because this was just recently released in the UK by Indicator,
1208
01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:17.920
and I will just happily say you should probably get
1209
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:20.320
that release if you want this movie, because this is
1210
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:27.239
holy holy, as in wholl y wholly inferior compared to
1211
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:29.599
the Indicator release. The Indicator release is a four K
1212
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:34.119
and has loads more extras. This has nothing new on it, well,
1213
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:36.239
I apologize not nothing new. There is a new audio
1214
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:39.679
commentary with the Wild Wild podcast Adrian Smith and Rod Barnett.
1215
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:41.840
They do great work. I love their stuff, but the
1216
01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:45.920
Indicator release is so far beyond this one. It's kind
1217
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:49.400
of sad they even tried. And I don't mean that
1218
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:52.400
as like an attack at Rero. I get it. I'm
1219
01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:56.000
glad that this release will be out there because whatever.
1220
01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:59.760
But man, the UK release is way better than this one.
1221
01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.880
All right, I gotta highlight this comment, Derek says, Austin,
1222
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:08.800
bless you for having that righteous platoon leader display behind you,
1223
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:11.719
Michael Dudokoff rules. I had to highlight that.
1224
01:04:12.599 --> 01:04:15.920
Oh, thank you, thank you. My wife shall come down here.
1225
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:18.800
This is this is my office in one corner a guest.
1226
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.199
We have a guest pat over on that side, but
1227
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:24.440
it's it's cannon stuff all the way around. And she
1228
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:26.159
was sitting there on the bed while I was working
1229
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:28.840
on the Peter here and she's like, how many pictures
1230
01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:31.239
of Michael dudakov do you have on the wall or
1231
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:33.760
like cutouts? And I really haven't thought of it because
1232
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.599
it's like so many different canon things I've had. And
1233
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:38.719
I'm like, okay, I can. I can sit here and
1234
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.880
count like seven or eight pictures of Michael Dudakoff just
1235
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:45.039
around the around the walls.
1236
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:47.840
So, in other words, the answer is not quite enough.
1237
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:50.920
No, no, no, there's there's room for more. I have
1238
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:52.079
wall space to fill.
1239
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:56.559
And the ceiling. We'll get there eventually. Next up December
1240
01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.199
twenty third, Blu Ray from well Go USA, Coming of
1241
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:02.800
Delivery from twenty twenty four. This one sounds sort of interesting.
1242
01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.880
It says Lee, a food delivery driver in snowy Minnesota,
1243
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:08.679
struggles with mounting debt, unpaid bills, and pressure from a
1244
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.760
ruthless loan shark. His day spirals into terror when he
1245
01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:14.119
finds himself ensnared in a deadly game of cat and
1246
01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:18.800
mouse with the mysterious and drained snowplow driver the very classic,
1247
01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:22.039
quite quick driving snowplows on the icy back roads. He
1248
01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:25.360
fights to protect himself and a goldfish named Reggie from
1249
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:28.000
the relentless stocker, but quickly realizes his only chance of
1250
01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:31.159
survival is to outsmart the crazed killer. I have never
1251
01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:35.760
heard of a deranged killer film protecting a goldfish.
1252
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:40.760
I yeah, the protecting a goldfish, I was that sold me.
1253
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:46.719
The snowplow being the villainous snowplow is There's a lot
1254
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:49.519
going on in that summer that you've heard this. I
1255
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:51.559
all of it fascinates me, all of it.
1256
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:56.960
I yeah, I would check this one out. Next up,
1257
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:00.079
we got some imprint announcements. All of these imprint releases
1258
01:06:00.199 --> 01:06:03.280
are what is the best way to say this, not
1259
01:06:03.320 --> 01:06:06.639
the hard box releases. My mind immediately wants to say
1260
01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:09.679
standard releases, but they're still limited edition, and they come
1261
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:12.960
in their their slipcases, the sideloading slipcases, but they're not.
1262
01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:16.000
These are not the super expensive eighty five dollars four
1263
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:18.280
K releases. These are gonna be about twenty five bucks
1264
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:20.920
for a Blu Ray and February twenty fifth is when
1265
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:23.559
these are all coming out. The first one, The Fabulous
1266
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:26.599
Baker Boys starring Michelle Pfeiffer. This is from nineteen eighty nine.
1267
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:31.360
This one kind of a pretty incredible cast. We got
1268
01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:34.960
Jeff and bow Bridges both on here. You've got, like
1269
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:37.639
I said, Michelle Pfeiffer in her prime, I mean this
1270
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:40.480
was nineteen eighty nine, written directed by Stephen Kloves, who
1271
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:45.360
adapted the screenplays a seven of the eight Harry Potter films. Yeah,
1272
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:47.719
this movie's pretty great. Had a US Blu Ray release
1273
01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:49.719
a couple of years ago. This is the first Australian release.
1274
01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:54.000
All of the extras on here are archival extras, so
1275
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:56.039
not a ton of new stuff to go over. But
1276
01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:58.239
I'm glad this is getting a release and people can
1277
01:06:58.239 --> 01:06:59.880
get more eyes on this movie. You've seen the Fabulous
1278
01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:00.800
Pick it's.
1279
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:02.719
Been a long time, but yeah, that's that's one that
1280
01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:07.360
I don't need to I should reads it.
1281
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:09.519
It is a musical rom com. For those that have
1282
01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:11.440
never seen it, it is. It is a pretty good movie.
1283
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:14.320
Yeah, what a cast, What a cast?
1284
01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:18.519
Absolutely And next up one that has many Blu Ray
1285
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:22.239
releases and yet none of them really great. Uh, the
1286
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:24.800
same date, same imprint and all that. We got Robert
1287
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:27.800
de Niro and Wesley Snipes in the fan. This is
1288
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:31.039
directed by Tony Scott, So everybody that's collecting all of
1289
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:32.599
the Tony Scott films, you gotta have at least one
1290
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:38.000
copy of this. But unfortunately, literally no extras, and at
1291
01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:41.079
this point, you know, none of the releases of this
1292
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.039
film have extras at all. So I have a feeling
1293
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:48.760
it's the studio blocking extras for this, which is not uncommon.
1294
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:51.360
Like anybody that's worked with MGM, stuff like that happens
1295
01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:54.440
all the time. So I'm curious if there's something about
1296
01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:56.840
this film that they just they're not allowed to do anything.
1297
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.639
Uh yeah, yeah, I m MGM is they tend to
1298
01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:05.039
limit stuff, That's all I'll say.
1299
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:08.840
Yeah, have you done something for an MGM extra?
1300
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:11.159
Well, they they own most of the Cannon line.
1301
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:11.760
That's true.
1302
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:17.000
That's so they're there. Yeah, Unfortunately, not everything, not everything
1303
01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:19.479
can be included that I'd like to see included in
1304
01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:20.159
some of these things.
1305
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:23.960
I always laugh listening to an audio commentary on an
1306
01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:26.479
MGM film, and every so often there will be like
1307
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:29.039
a four minute break and you know that the person
1308
01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:32.119
doing the commentary didn't just stop talking. MGM just had
1309
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:34.760
them remove that portion, and it's like, come on, this.
1310
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:38.920
Is yeah, it's it's it's it's a shame with the
1311
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.760
cannon stuff because I have so many neat things, which
1312
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:46.399
is whether there's scripts or things that were like you know,
1313
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:49.399
shots from stuff that was cut out from like scenes
1314
01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:53.520
that were cut out, and like I've got the Jaylee
1315
01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:57.000
Thompson's personal like photographs from his wife's photographs from the
1316
01:08:57.039 --> 01:08:59.680
set of King Solomon's Minds, and that's not but that's
1317
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:02.039
something I'll probably never make a DVD early. I don't
1318
01:09:02.039 --> 01:09:06.199
think I'm Jim whatever allow that. But oh well, we
1319
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:08.439
get some cool stuff. It's true to allow.
1320
01:09:08.520 --> 01:09:13.279
So next up is Mister Jones from nineteen ninety three.
1321
01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:14.880
This is the first time this has been released on
1322
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:19.640
Blu ray all. It's a Richard gear film. This says impulsive, irresponsible, irresistible.
1323
01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:22.359
Mister Jones is a man who effortlessly draws people to
1324
01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:27.399
him with his infectious charm and fascinating energy. Intelligent, dedicated,
1325
01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:30.560
Respected doctor Libby Bowen is a psychiatrist who, despite all
1326
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:34.600
our training, is totally unprepared for mister Jones. This one again,
1327
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:37.359
no extras on this at all, And I've not seen
1328
01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:39.439
this movie. I feel like this one's been hard to
1329
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.079
see for quite some times. As directed by Mike Vigis,
1330
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:45.000
also has Anne Bancroft in it. Do you know this
1331
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:45.560
movie at all?
1332
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:47.520
I don't. I don't know this one.
1333
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.840
I'm very curious on this one. Craig says, can all
1334
01:09:52.880 --> 01:09:55.359
these extras be turned into a documentary of its own?
1335
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:57.920
I mean probably, but you'd have to get a lot
1336
01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:01.079
of licensing and permission from all the people evolved. I'm sure.
1337
01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:05.239
Yeah, yeah, I think.
1338
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:07.079
That would be outside of MGM a little bit at
1339
01:10:07.079 --> 01:10:07.560
that point.
1340
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:12.159
Yeah, it's tough that I end up throwing a lot
1341
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:14.039
of the stuff just out there online because I like
1342
01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:18.800
to share it. I'll go through scripts and online I'll
1343
01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:21.680
be cutting out like whole scenes that are missing. I'll
1344
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:24.520
throw up images on Instagram and things like that, So
1345
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:27.840
just sharing it in some way.
1346
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:32.399
Yeah, gotta get it out there. Yeah. Next up, another
1347
01:10:32.479 --> 01:10:34.680
first time on Blu Ray Anywhere in the World Wrong
1348
01:10:35.000 --> 01:10:38.319
Is Right? From nineteen eighty two. This is a Sean
1349
01:10:38.439 --> 01:10:41.319
Connery starring film, and it is a sharp tongued political
1350
01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:44.600
satire written and directed by Richard Brooks based on the
1351
01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:47.199
book The Better Angels by Charles McCarey, and it says
1352
01:10:47.199 --> 01:10:49.760
when a globe trotting reporter comes across the story involving
1353
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:52.640
a terrorism plot, he discovers things may not be as
1354
01:10:52.680 --> 01:10:56.720
they see. This one also starring If it's a satire,
1355
01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:59.279
it's got to have Leslie Nielsen. We've got Dean Stockwell
1356
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.159
in here, and even Jennifer Jason Lee. This one again
1357
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.840
no extras, and I feel like for a political satire
1358
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:09.960
in nineteen eighty two, I feel like that should have
1359
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:13.359
been a requirement for this film. So again I wonder
1360
01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:15.720
if something is blocking it, because man, this one would
1361
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:17.039
have been fun as heck to work on.
1362
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:22.159
Yeah, and again this cast, this is one that I
1363
01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:25.920
have not seen, but now I need to just it's
1364
01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:29.399
just three names that you wouldn't ever think of putting
1365
01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:31.199
together the ones who had off there.
1366
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:34.359
Yeah, yeah, this is a mus This is definitely on
1367
01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:38.680
my wishlist already. And then we've got True Colors from
1368
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:41.520
nineteen ninety one, another first time on Blue Right Anywhere
1369
01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:43.800
in the World. This is a John Cusack and James
1370
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:47.800
Spader film. This is also going to have Imagen Stubbs,
1371
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:53.079
Mandy Patinkin, and Richard Widmark. Second Richard Woodmark discussion for tonight.
1372
01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:55.880
This one says two best friends, one aiming for a
1373
01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:58.720
career in politics, the other the Department of Justice. Their
1374
01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:01.359
friendship is tested when one discovers the others involved in
1375
01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:04.680
corrupt dealings. This one, though, we did get a new commentary,
1376
01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:08.520
this one with Matthew Ashbury gear and that's the only extra.
1377
01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:11.319
Nothing else besides that commentary. I'm just glad they put
1378
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:14.439
something on there. But yeah, I do not know True Colors.
1379
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:15.680
Have you one?
1380
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:20.880
No, But I like Herbert Ross. Yeah, Loose and Dancers
1381
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:24.600
his one canon film. But great, cool name to be
1382
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:27.199
attached to. You there to look for it.
1383
01:12:28.159 --> 01:12:30.600
Yeah, And again, like I said, this won't be all
1384
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:33.039
that expensive on release date. They should be about twenty
1385
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:36.920
five bucks US, which isn't terrible for a first time
1386
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:38.159
Anywhere in the World on.
1387
01:12:38.199 --> 01:12:40.479
Blu Ray title, Yeah, that's awesome.
1388
01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:44.159
And then Racing with the Moon is the next Imprint title.
1389
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:46.359
This is from nineteen eighty four. This had also got
1390
01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:49.159
a Fun City Editions Blu Ray release. This one will
1391
01:12:49.159 --> 01:12:51.840
have a new audio commentary by Kelly Goodner and Jim
1392
01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:54.720
hemphl that was not on the Fun City release. But
1393
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:56.560
all of the other stuff on here I believe was
1394
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:58.520
on the Fun City disc. So if you don't have
1395
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:03.159
the Fun City might time to check this one out. Champainn,
1396
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:08.880
Nick Cage, Elizabeth McGovern. There's some some some high notoriety there.
1397
01:13:09.439 --> 01:13:14.560
Yeah, yeah, Nick Cage, I mean every movie you can
1398
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:17.119
expect him to go out here. But he has some
1399
01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:20.439
great scenes in this, and he's the third kind of
1400
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:23.960
character in here. And yeah, but he chews up the scenery.
1401
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:26.600
Very young here too. It's just twice.
1402
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:31.800
He was eighty four. Yeah, all right. Next Universal releasing
1403
01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:36.399
the Woody Woodpecker and Friends Golden Age Collection on January
1404
01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:38.640
twentieth on Blu Ray. This is going to have a
1405
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:41.560
completely different set of shorts that were not on the
1406
01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:44.359
twenty twenty one release they did of the Woody Woodpecker
1407
01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:48.119
and Friends collection. This is going to be covering all
1408
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:51.439
the way from nineteen thirty nine to nineteen sixty six.
1409
01:13:52.199 --> 01:13:54.720
It's not exhaustive or anything like that, and I believe
1410
01:13:55.159 --> 01:13:57.880
quite a few of these have been restored. The rumor
1411
01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:00.000
is some of these probably don't look all that great
1412
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:03.560
because they don't have materials for them anymore. But these
1413
01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:05.640
should look better than they've ever been on home video.
1414
01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:07.840
So if you're into Woody Wodpecker might be a good
1415
01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:14.560
time again. Animation getting some solid releases lately. Next up
1416
01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:18.479
one that I am shocked we are getting. January twentieth,
1417
01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:23.000
Universal is releasing the Ma and Pa Kettle Complete Comedy Collection.
1418
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:25.880
This covers all ten films from nineteen forty seven to
1419
01:14:25.960 --> 01:14:28.880
nineteen fifty seven. Have you seen any of them on
1420
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:29.960
pop Kettle Films?
1421
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:34.279
No, No, I have not. I'm intrigued by this eulderly
1422
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:37.319
couple with the looking over the fence at us tell
1423
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:37.720
me more.
1424
01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:40.439
I know when I was younger, I saw at least
1425
01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:42.399
the Egg and I that's the most famous one because
1426
01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:45.359
it was the first one, and I've most likely seen
1427
01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.760
one or two of the others. It is just very
1428
01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:52.800
like not to disparage anybody, but like boomer humor type
1429
01:14:52.840 --> 01:14:57.119
of comedy films. Definitely something that my great grandparents watched
1430
01:14:57.119 --> 01:14:58.680
when I was younger, so it was on when I
1431
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.800
walked through the living room or something like that. I
1432
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:04.680
don't have any real memories of this other than I
1433
01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:06.840
know that I've seen the egg and I if you
1434
01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:09.439
like mon pot Kettle sound off in the chat, I
1435
01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:14.359
would love to highlight it. And then next up, we
1436
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:17.239
had talked about Shameless coming on a complete series Blu
1437
01:15:17.319 --> 01:15:19.840
Ray release on January sixth. Well, for everybody that was
1438
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:22.920
buying the individual seasons, they're also putting out a season
1439
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.560
ten and season eleven individual releases, so you don't have
1440
01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:28.800
to pick up the full box set to get those
1441
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:31.600
last two. If you got the first nine, I'm not
1442
01:15:31.720 --> 01:15:33.479
a shameless person. I've never seen it. Have you seen
1443
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:37.239
the show at all? Good? We both have zero knowledge.
1444
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:39.720
I know it's beloved. Neither one of us have given
1445
01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:45.119
it a crack at all this year. Speaking of Nick Cage,
1446
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:48.199
he was in twenty twenty five's The Carpenter Sun and
1447
01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:50.319
it is coming to Blu Ray and DVD on February
1448
01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:53.960
ninth over in the UK from Altitude Film. No word
1449
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.479
on the extras on this yet, so I'm guessing there
1450
01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:59.560
probably won't be any. But I've heard this is kind
1451
01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:02.520
of kind of interesting. I want to see this. I've
1452
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:07.279
heard it's not great, but I've also heard it's very unique. Okay, Yeah,
1453
01:16:07.800 --> 01:16:11.039
let's see Vinnie talking about mon pot Kettle says corn
1454
01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:13.720
pone humor as we used to call it, prototype for heeha.
1455
01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:17.399
That is quite in line with quha. That's true.
1456
01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:20.520
My kids are, they've gotten into red Green. It's a
1457
01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:23.000
weird thing for two jen Alfa children to get into.
1458
01:16:23.039 --> 01:16:28.119
But I'm curious, then, will mom pop Kettle be their
1459
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:29.479
their current humor interest?
1460
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:32.319
Watch we get a resurgence in mon poc Kettle, Love
1461
01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:35.680
and People end of the Age of fourteen. All right,
1462
01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:38.399
next up, we talked about this film semi recently. Two
1463
01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:41.279
twenty twenty Five's a Good Boy is coming to four
1464
01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:43.399
K blu ray and DVD over in the UK on
1465
01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:47.039
February sixteenth from the new label Visions Home Video. This
1466
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:49.239
is going to have a Making an Indie Film featurette
1467
01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:51.079
and a trailer on the disc. It's going to have
1468
01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:54.760
a slipcover, four art cards, and a reversible poster. Did
1469
01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:57.439
you happen to see this film this year, So this
1470
01:16:57.479 --> 01:16:59.039
is a unique movie. I saw this one in the
1471
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:02.359
theater and it is essentially a horror movie from the
1472
01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:07.359
perspective of the dog. The entire movie is shot low
1473
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:09.359
to the ground like that it is only what the
1474
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:11.479
dog is able to see. It's kind of like third
1475
01:17:11.520 --> 01:17:13.199
person where you can see the dog and the dog
1476
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:17.399
reacting to things, but it's you're not delivered plot in
1477
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:20.560
a way that you, as a human would understand. It's
1478
01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:22.960
basically just what the dog would hear. So you don't
1479
01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:26.239
get like full conversations. You don't. You'll walk in the
1480
01:17:26.279 --> 01:17:28.680
room and see like some movement in the corner and
1481
01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:30.319
be like, oh, there's something there, and you're gonna stare
1482
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:32.600
at it for a second. But yeah, it was an
1483
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:35.319
interesting movie. Was it fully successful. I don't think so.
1484
01:17:35.479 --> 01:17:38.319
But it's cool though. It's like, what a cool concept.
1485
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:40.720
It took a wild swing, and I love the poster
1486
01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:45.399
and the dog was incredible. So yeah, check this out.
1487
01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:48.399
This one honestly kind of surprise for a brand new label.
1488
01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:50.880
This is available to pre order in the US, which
1489
01:17:50.920 --> 01:17:53.079
means that's probably even marked up a couple of dollars
1490
01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:55.680
for only thirty bucks from a couple of the third
1491
01:17:55.720 --> 01:18:02.520
party retailers, Awesome, Media OCD or Animigo. They are putting
1492
01:18:02.520 --> 01:18:05.800
out on January twentieth, Prime Rose a time slip of
1493
01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:08.479
ten thousand years from nineteen eighty three. Are you an
1494
01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:09.239
anime fan?
1495
01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:14.039
A lopsed anime fan? I went through the days of
1496
01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:16.680
buying you a few episodes of stuff at a time,
1497
01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:19.520
Nan Genesis, Evan Galli and stuff from Suncoast Video when
1498
01:18:19.560 --> 01:18:24.600
they were on the tapes. Yeah, that so've I've missed
1499
01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:28.880
a lot of stuff over the last couple decades, but
1500
01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:33.760
eighties and nineties, like mech stuff was my jam for
1501
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:37.920
a long time. Nice to the early two thousands. I
1502
01:18:37.960 --> 01:18:40.560
saw somebody who's doing a Project Aco release or did
1503
01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:43.159
one recently, and that's one that like struck a nerve
1504
01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.319
that I'd forgotten a long time ago. I was like,
1505
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.000
oh boy, so this one.
1506
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:50.239
If you order from the Media OCD website, you'll get
1507
01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:52.920
a free slip cover and then there is going to
1508
01:18:52.960 --> 01:18:57.159
be a dub out takes, dubbing cast interviews, dubstaff commentary, trailers,
1509
01:18:57.279 --> 01:18:59.960
design sketches, stuff like that. Looks like you solid rearly
1510
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:02.680
if you're into anime, and I love that. Some of
1511
01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:05.640
these older animation releases are getting like decent restorations and
1512
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:06.960
looking looking good on disc.
1513
01:19:07.239 --> 01:19:11.399
Yeah, the colors always look awesome, even when the anime
1514
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:13.760
the animation isn't as smooth as some of the higher
1515
01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:16.920
budget stuff. Like the colors are incredible on Blu ray.
1516
01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:21.000
Yeah. Next January twentieth, there's a Blu ray and DVD
1517
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:25.680
release coming from Decal for Orwell two plus two equals five,
1518
01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:28.800
which came out this year. This movie, if you've never
1519
01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:31.239
heard of it, says Georgia Orwell was one of the
1520
01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:34.319
most visionary authors of the twentieth century, whose novels nineteen
1521
01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:37.800
eighty four An Animal Farm foretold a chilling authoritarian future,
1522
01:19:38.079 --> 01:19:41.239
acclaim director Raoul Peck, who did I'm Not Your Negro,
1523
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:45.479
interweaves clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and modern
1524
01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:47.640
day footage to craft not only a portrait of the
1525
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:50.079
writer but a fresh take on how prophetic his work
1526
01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:54.239
has become. I have heard that this is incredible and
1527
01:19:54.319 --> 01:19:57.079
I really need to see this. I'm glad it's getting
1528
01:19:57.079 --> 01:19:59.640
a disc. I wish it wasn't a BDR and I
1529
01:19:59.680 --> 01:20:02.840
wish you and Decal, but I'm glad it's gonna be
1530
01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:09.760
out on physical media. Next up, we've got a release delay.
1531
01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:12.520
Keno Lover's four K release of Mimic from Gammero del
1532
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:15.239
Toro has been pushed back till February twenty fourth. No
1533
01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:17.399
details on why, but if I had to guess, I
1534
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:20.439
honestly it's just the manufacturing everywhere right now is backed up.
1535
01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:23.119
There are lots of delays happening, lots of titles being
1536
01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:26.039
pushed back a week or three, and should not be
1537
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:29.399
super surprised to see this happen. And if I'm a
1538
01:20:29.399 --> 01:20:31.720
betting man, I would say the next couple months, we're
1539
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:34.840
probably going to continue to see that until oh, probably
1540
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:38.680
about middle of February, like this release, because after the
1541
01:20:38.680 --> 01:20:41.119
busy season, it's got to slow down at some point
1542
01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:46.840
a little bit. Next up, Keto also releasing on February
1543
01:20:46.920 --> 01:20:50.079
twenty fourth. Jack Benny Comedy Classics collection. This is going
1544
01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:53.239
to include Man about Town from nineteen thirty seven and
1545
01:20:53.279 --> 01:20:56.199
the film Artists and Models from nineteen thirty nine. You've
1546
01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:58.399
got brand new two K scans of the thirty five
1547
01:20:58.399 --> 01:21:01.479
millimeter fine grain elements, a new commentary for Artists and
1548
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:04.560
Models by Eddie von Muller we got a new commentary
1549
01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:08.199
for Man About Town by Paul Anthony Elson and leezek Riot,
1550
01:21:08.279 --> 01:21:10.720
and then you've got the trailers on here, both mastered
1551
01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:14.479
in two K. I have not seen any Jack Benny
1552
01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:16.520
things in a long time, so I'm very curious to
1553
01:21:16.600 --> 01:21:17.159
check this out.
1554
01:21:17.520 --> 01:21:21.199
And I really appreciate using original art, the original art
1555
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:23.600
for so many of these less that we've seen here tonight,
1556
01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:28.439
between the Kenot releases and the Warner Archives stuff. It's like,
1557
01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:33.800
it's good to see this, this Gordon, gorgeous Golden Age artwork,
1558
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:37.039
and then we see ninety years ago.
1559
01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:41.720
And then we see a beautiful mind airbrush to hill.
1560
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.239
I'm just glad we're not airbrushing Jack Benny, that's for sure.
1561
01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:50.000
Next up, speaking of airbrushing, Cold Epix putting out Tinto
1562
01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:53.399
Brasses the Key from nineteen eighty three on four K.
1563
01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:56.479
I don't think they've announced a full release date yet,
1564
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:58.279
but you can pre order this now from their brand
1565
01:21:58.279 --> 01:22:01.600
new website, which has a brand new innovative feature called
1566
01:22:01.640 --> 01:22:04.479
a shopping cart, where you can put multiple things in
1567
01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:07.199
this cart and check out and buy multiple things and
1568
01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:11.000
not just one title, which is nice. I'm so glad
1569
01:22:11.039 --> 01:22:13.640
that Cold Avics finally put that on their website. I
1570
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.880
hope other sites start to take notice in new shopping
1571
01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.159
carts as well. This as a four K transfer and
1572
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:23.319
restoration from the OCN. If you buy from their website,
1573
01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:26.880
you get the site exclusive slipcover and four lobby car postcards.
1574
01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:29.880
Those are limited to five hundred. It's got an audio
1575
01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:33.560
commentary by friend of the show Eugenio Ekilani and Marcus Stiglegger,
1576
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:37.119
German film historian. We've got an interview with the actor
1577
01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:41.880
Franco Brancarioli. We got to look at the Venetian locations
1578
01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:44.279
of the film. We got a special on Ennio Morricone
1579
01:22:44.319 --> 01:22:47.319
and Tinto Brass, and then some archival extras like photo
1580
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:51.319
galleries and such. Pinto Bras are not pinto Tinto Brass.
1581
01:22:51.359 --> 01:22:52.840
Are you into Tinto Bras stuff at all?
1582
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:56.840
So what scares me about having these releases is like
1583
01:22:57.279 --> 01:23:00.960
any time I throw on like a Sylvia Christ or something,
1584
01:23:01.439 --> 01:23:04.880
that's when one of my kids will wake up and
1585
01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:08.039
come downstairs and just want a story or something or
1586
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:12.279
just need company. And so this would not be as high.
1587
01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:14.640
I'm sure it's gonna be a gorgeous release, but on
1588
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:17.760
my personal list, devices I know something. As soon as
1589
01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:19.199
I put that disc on, the kids are gonna come
1590
01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:20.720
down two flights of stairs all the way in the
1591
01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:22.520
basement and have questions.
1592
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:28.000
So my kids, I'm very lucky. My kids are over
1593
01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:30.720
active during the day, which I don't know if this
1594
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:33.880
is just luck, but overnight they're like if they go
1595
01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:36.119
to bed, they're in bed. For the most part. I
1596
01:23:36.159 --> 01:23:39.159
don't usually have to worry about that. However, the first
1597
01:23:39.159 --> 01:23:42.720
time I watched Lone Wolfing Cub, I'm sitting there, like
1598
01:23:43.359 --> 01:23:46.920
holy lock. In the Lone Wolf and Cub there is
1599
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:50.079
people getting sliced in half on the screen, and all
1600
01:23:50.119 --> 01:23:53.520
of a sudden, not like behind me, walks into the
1601
01:23:53.600 --> 01:23:56.159
room in between me and the TV wakes me up
1602
01:23:56.159 --> 01:23:59.520
from like this staring at this amazing cinema. My oldest
1603
01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:02.239
and he's like, hey, Dad, can I get some water
1604
01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:05.119
or something like that? And I'm like, you just witnessed
1605
01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:08.960
like four people getting killed in twelve seconds. This is
1606
01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:11.039
not a great time for you to be out here.
1607
01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:15.640
That criterion SEP came right around the time my daughter
1608
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:18.279
was born, or sometime shortly thereafter, so it was very
1609
01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:22.079
funny to be watching this guy push around his baby
1610
01:24:22.119 --> 01:24:24.560
through with all this carnage going around and me pushing
1611
01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:27.560
my baby around New York City street. So it was
1612
01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:29.319
just like I watched them over the course of like
1613
01:24:29.399 --> 01:24:31.920
a week and nice, it's a fun time. It was
1614
01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:36.119
very vivid memories being a new father and watching Lone
1615
01:24:36.119 --> 01:24:39.960
Wolf and Covin. How those one hopefully doesn't affect the other.
1616
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:43.239
Yeah, it was a good time. And I love this
1617
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:46.199
comment from Colton Pinto. Brass is a great drag king name.
1618
01:24:46.319 --> 01:24:51.359
Yeah it works, that's for sure. All right. Next, we've
1619
01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:55.840
got Ignite, the same ones that did Reanimator on four K.
1620
01:24:56.159 --> 01:24:58.279
They just announced that on March twentieth, they're releasing a
1621
01:24:58.359 --> 01:25:00.640
four K and blu ray release of The Big Combo,
1622
01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:04.800
the nineteen fifty five noir film. This is getting oddly
1623
01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:08.239
for them, a four K steel book and a four
1624
01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:10.760
K standard edition. And what's crazy is not only are
1625
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:13.560
they doing a four K steel book two different options.
1626
01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:15.760
You've got one with the original art and then one
1627
01:25:15.800 --> 01:25:19.319
with this newly reimagined, very black and white art. And
1628
01:25:19.680 --> 01:25:22.920
I got to say, this is really cool that you
1629
01:25:22.920 --> 01:25:25.119
can go to their site and they've got this like
1630
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:27.840
it's kind of choppy. I gotta be honest, it's kind
1631
01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:30.319
of shitty, but they've got a video of a like
1632
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:33.439
full three sixty of the Steel Book and it really
1633
01:25:33.479 --> 01:25:36.279
highlights that they're doing this debossing on the steel Book.
1634
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.039
That's really cool. I'm not normally like the dang the
1635
01:25:39.039 --> 01:25:41.520
steel Book is great, but this one looks kind of
1636
01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:43.760
really awesome. So check it out if you're into the
1637
01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:46.479
steelbook thing. But they've got a standard edition and it's
1638
01:25:46.479 --> 01:25:51.119
got a reversible cover with the old original art. It
1639
01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:53.800
is going to be available, like I said, in four editions.
1640
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:56.279
It's got all kinds of extras on you. We get
1641
01:25:56.279 --> 01:25:58.960
a new commentary with image in Sarah Smith, one of
1642
01:25:58.960 --> 01:26:00.439
the best in the business. She does a lot of
1643
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:04.399
stuff d of Baltiria. She is a noir expert. We've
1644
01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:07.680
got uh it is going to include a new interview
1645
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:11.359
with Felipe Garnier, and it is going to include a
1646
01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:14.920
new visual essay by Scout Dafoya, who's always great. We've
1647
01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:19.000
got legacy bonus features including Eddie Muller doing a commentary
1648
01:26:19.199 --> 01:26:21.279
and then a new booklet with a brand new intro
1649
01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:24.399
by Eddie Muller. There's commissioned essays some of my favorite
1650
01:26:24.439 --> 01:26:26.600
people on your Scouptafoya did another one there and then
1651
01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:30.680
Alonzo Duralde, who's great. Yeah, all kinds of incredible.
1652
01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:32.560
That's absolutely incredible. Wow.
1653
01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:37.000
Uh, let's see Dustin in the chat says Austin is
1654
01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:39.600
the man. He's the Cannon Film's historian. All the best
1655
01:26:39.720 --> 01:26:41.239
Dustin from Retrofiend Radio.
1656
01:26:41.399 --> 01:26:45.039
Oh hey, Dustinkay, thanks for thanks for stopping by. Great
1657
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:46.880
to see you. Thank you for saying that too. That's awesome.
1658
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:51.159
Thank you. They Retrofined Radio. He and he and Christian
1659
01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:54.239
do some just incredible documentaries that you can you can
1660
01:26:54.279 --> 01:26:57.479
you can watch on YouTube. But one of the nearest
1661
01:26:57.479 --> 01:26:58.920
and dearest in my hearts. They've done a lot of
1662
01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:03.039
stuff with Sam Furstenberg, a mutual friend here, but they
1663
01:27:03.039 --> 01:27:08.760
did a great series with the stunt coordinator Steve Stephen Lambert,
1664
01:27:08.800 --> 01:27:11.279
who worked on all of those Cannon movies and really
1665
01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:14.680
got into not just his career but also his life
1666
01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:16.680
and his interest in martial arts and talking to people
1667
01:27:16.720 --> 01:27:21.359
who worked with him in different different aspects, and it's
1668
01:27:21.439 --> 01:27:26.640
just it's just this incredible look at a very hard
1669
01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:30.039
working person in the film business doing a role that
1670
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:34.840
doesn't always get the attention deserves the stunt cordiners don't
1671
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:37.319
really get you know, let's there's somebody who does their
1672
01:27:37.359 --> 01:27:40.560
own stunts, they get a big deal out it. But yeah,
1673
01:27:40.600 --> 01:27:45.520
it was just this. Absolutely. They've done the definitive documentary
1674
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:49.119
on Avenging Force that I love so much. But yeah,
1675
01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:52.600
check out their their stuff, especially the Stephen Lambert videos
1676
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.720
if you just want to know what it was like
1677
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:58.399
making doing stunt work for Cannon in the in the
1678
01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:01.479
eighties and working on all these different movies, and yeah,
1679
01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:05.479
it's awesome. Stephen sadly, unexpectedly passed away not too long
1680
01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:09.119
after they they made this this documentary, but it makes
1681
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:11.760
me even more grateful that they did it because just
1682
01:28:11.800 --> 01:28:14.800
an awesome dude with so many incredible stories and that
1683
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:17.640
he was very happy to happy to share and they
1684
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:19.479
did such a good job capturing get him out there.
1685
01:28:19.479 --> 01:28:23.239
But yeah, check out check out their documentaries because Thustin

01:28:33.399 --> 01:28:37.479
go click and subscribe over there. That sounds great. Indicator
1690
01:28:38.239 --> 01:28:40.319
who is housed out of the UK. But both of
1691
01:28:40.359 --> 01:28:43.239
these coming in the UK and the US announced two
1692
01:28:43.319 --> 01:28:46.079
really great titles from Australia today. We got March twenty
1693
01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:48.560
third in the UK March twenty fourth in the US
1694
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.199
a four K and Blu Ray release of The Survivor
1695
01:28:51.239 --> 01:28:54.199
from nineteen eighty one. Both of these titles titles that
1696
01:28:54.239 --> 01:28:56.760
have been released many times on Blu Ray by many companies.
1697
01:28:56.760 --> 01:28:58.319
This is the first time on four K for both
1698
01:28:58.359 --> 01:29:01.000
of them. I believe this one is going to have
1699
01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:03.920
three presentations of the movie. You've got the previously unseen
1700
01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:07.239
director's cut, the original Australian theatrical version, and then the
1701
01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:10.439
shorter US version. You got a commentary on the Australian
1702
01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:13.319
version from twenty eighteen. You got a commentary on the
1703
01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:16.600
Australian version from twenty twelve, not quite Hollywood interviews, all
1704
01:29:16.680 --> 01:29:19.439
kinds of archival stuff on here, and then a brand
1705
01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:23.479
new appreciation by Stephen Morgan and a couple other random
1706
01:29:23.479 --> 01:29:26.439
things that they threw in their plus an eighty page booklet.
1707
01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:29.920
Lots of new essays and writing on here, some excerpts
1708
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:34.479
from unpublished memoirs. Just overloaded with stuff. Indicator. As I
1709
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:37.840
mentioned earlier about the plot of Fear release, they like
1710
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:40.279
it is hard to compete with indicated releases.
1711
01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:46.039
Yeah that wow, that's loaded. That's amazing, beautiful, beautiful cover
1712
01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:49.960
and I will grab anything that has anything Mark Hartley
1713
01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.880
touched on it. So obviously a huge fan, huge fan
1714
01:29:54.920 --> 01:29:56.960
of all of his documentaries.
1715
01:29:56.680 --> 01:29:59.680
Because thats like a god around these parts, right Yeah.
1716
01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:03.199
Yeah, is awesome, awesome, Yeah, I have to seek this
1717
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:04.960
one out because I don't have any of the other
1718
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.439
releases of this one. So nice, pretty ideal time to
1719
01:30:08.479 --> 01:30:08.840
grab it.
1720
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:13.680
I love this poster, just great design, definitely eye catching.
1721
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:16.199
And then another one that is beautiful to look at.
1722
01:30:16.439 --> 01:30:19.600
The next title is Dead Kids aka Strange Behavior from
1723
01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:22.319
nineteen eighty one. This is going to be uncut for
1724
01:30:22.399 --> 01:30:25.079
the first time in the UK, which is really cool.
1725
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:27.760
We got a four K restoration of the original negative
1726
01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:30.880
that Indicator did themselves. You got two presentations of the film,
1727
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:34.279
the original Australian theatrical and the US theatrical, which the
1728
01:30:34.399 --> 01:30:37.640
US theatrical is two minutes shorter than the Australian one.
1729
01:30:38.039 --> 01:30:42.600
We got commentaries that are archival on here Fiona Lewis
1730
01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:45.319
fondly looking back on the movie and the production itself.
1731
01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:48.960
We've got all kinds of archival stuff that goes back
1732
01:30:48.960 --> 01:30:52.680
through many of these releases, and then a new presentation
1733
01:30:52.760 --> 01:30:55.239
of a two thousand and four interview with Janane about
1734
01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:57.800
the film. We get an appreciation by Steven Morgan about
1735
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:00.279
this one as well, and then again an eighty page
1736
01:31:00.279 --> 01:31:03.079
booklet with new essay by Paul Dwayne, an exclusive extract
1737
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:07.840
from the producer's unpublished memoirs, and more. Again, just solid
1738
01:31:07.880 --> 01:31:08.960
releases for Bold.
1739
01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:11.600
What yeah, what incredible rosters of like people they have
1740
01:31:11.640 --> 01:31:12.720
working on these disks.
1741
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:17.920
Yeah, that is indicator gets so many giant names, and then.
1742
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:20.199
Yeah, Paul or otherwise. It's like anytime I see his
1743
01:31:20.319 --> 01:31:22.399
name on something, even if I'm not as interested in
1744
01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:24.239
the film, that makes me interested in the release.
1745
01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:27.840
Uh. Dustin responded to you, just thank you for the
1746
01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:30.119
kind words, Austin, You guys rock keep up the great work.
1747
01:31:30.159 --> 01:31:32.920
Here's our channel. Rest in peace of Stephen Lambert. He
1748
01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:34.000
was a legend. All the best.
1749
01:31:34.239 --> 01:31:38.039
Thanks Dustin, thank you, Keep up the good work, guys.
1750
01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:39.960
I love it all right.
1751
01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:43.880
Next, VVS Films in Canada is putting out the first
1752
01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:46.760
physical release of If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You
1753
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:50.279
from this year, starring Rose Byrne. Says the director's commentary
1754
01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:53.000
by Mary Bronstein and then a first look on the film.
1755
01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:54.800
Did you get a chance to see this one this year?
1756
01:31:55.119 --> 01:31:58.159
I did not. I did not. Do you recommend it?
1757
01:31:58.640 --> 01:32:01.840
I especially is a parent, I will say this is
1758
01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:04.319
going to be a film that you watch and you say,
1759
01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:06.279
that was one of the best movies I've ever seen,
1760
01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:07.760
and I will never see it again.
1761
01:32:08.520 --> 01:32:13.520
That's funny. Yeah, Becoming a Parent does that. It's ruined
1762
01:32:13.560 --> 01:32:16.479
a lot of not ruined, but made me a lot
1763
01:32:16.479 --> 01:32:19.399
of really wonderful films that I just can't I can't
1764
01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:19.880
watch again.
1765
01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:25.159
They're just too This is not trauma against child type
1766
01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:28.039
of movie. This is a parent going through it type
1767
01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:32.199
of money. And it is a just master work of
1768
01:32:32.239 --> 01:32:35.479
a performance from Rose Byrn. She's incredible. Conan O'Brien plays
1769
01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:38.680
her therapist in this and he's just stupendous and then
1770
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:40.640
out of nowhere. You can hear his voice in the
1771
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:42.920
beginning on the phone a couple of times. But Christian
1772
01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:44.880
Slater shows up as her husband at the end of
1773
01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:48.560
this great movie. Also a small part by Asap Rocky,
1774
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:52.039
which is really great. This is just an amazing movie,
1775
01:32:54.359 --> 01:32:56.960
all right. That is via legs. I'd kick you next up,
1776
01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:00.239
I talked about Deaf Crocodile and their subscription earlier. Well,
1777
01:33:00.319 --> 01:33:03.560
today they revealed all of the titles coming up from
1778
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:06.760
January through June, so let's run through this. We've got
1779
01:33:07.159 --> 01:33:09.479
White Son of the Desert, which is one of the
1780
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:13.720
biggest Soviet Oasterns out there. It's like a Eastern European Western.
1781
01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:18.680
We've got Kracketeat, which is stupendous. That movie is coming
1782
01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:20.880
out on four K, and if you've never seen Kracketeat,
1783
01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:24.920
you're gonna love it. Don't I would say wait because
1784
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:28.279
the four K restoration on now is legendary. It's gonna
1785
01:33:28.279 --> 01:33:30.760
look amazing. Don't go look up clips because it's nothing
1786
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:33.279
to what you're gonna see. Then we've got a four
1787
01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:35.640
K coming of Song of the Miraculous Hind. This is
1788
01:33:35.640 --> 01:33:38.840
an animation title that is going to be gorgeous on
1789
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:46.319
four K. And then my most just very very anticipated
1790
01:33:46.359 --> 01:33:48.880
release here is Dead Mountaineers Hotel. Have you seen that one?
1791
01:33:50.159 --> 01:33:50.239
So?
1792
01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:56.239
Dead Mountaineers Hotel is a story about this snowy lodge
1793
01:33:56.279 --> 01:33:58.720
in the middle of the mountains and there are murders
1794
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:01.840
that start to happen, and that story in itself is
1795
01:34:01.840 --> 01:34:05.520
not super compelling. But the thing that is very compelling
1796
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:10.920
here is that you can basically hop in and get
1797
01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:13.760
a quick sneak peek at these murders happening and how
1798
01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:18.000
they're investigating it through the various angles of the hotel
1799
01:34:18.319 --> 01:34:22.039
and the filmmaking in this is unique in ways that
1800
01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:25.079
you would never imagine, Like there are shots where you
1801
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:28.159
can see somebody across a courtyard walking down an all
1802
01:34:28.199 --> 01:34:32.319
glass hallway that are beautiful. I can't wait for people
1803
01:34:32.319 --> 01:34:34.359
to see it. It is just amazing. And yes I
1804
01:34:34.399 --> 01:34:37.800
skipped Bill Plimpton, I'm sorry, Craig hair Hi from Bill
1805
01:34:37.800 --> 01:34:40.479
Plimpton is the next deluxe edition there. We got a
1806
01:34:40.520 --> 01:34:44.039
five film box set of defa Fairy Tales coming Black Rabbit,
1807
01:34:44.079 --> 01:34:47.600
White Rabbit Coming on four K, which is the brand
1808
01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:50.359
new title from Sharon Mocri that are oni in Filmmaker
1809
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:53.239
that is just going to be legendary Legend of the
1810
01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:57.439
Sacred Stone, which is I'm not kidding here a puppet
1811
01:34:57.479 --> 01:35:01.560
martial arts film, and I I cannot wait to see
1812
01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:06.039
the release for that one tomorrow, which is a Olivia
1813
01:35:06.159 --> 01:35:08.960
Newton John movie which didn't think I'd be saying about
1814
01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:11.640
a deaf crocodile release, but here we are. And then
1815
01:35:12.319 --> 01:35:14.439
maybe one of the more exciting for lots of people
1816
01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:17.079
capping it off is haf Maniata. That is going to
1817
01:35:17.119 --> 01:35:21.600
be the last title in June. Just astonishing releases from
1818
01:35:21.640 --> 01:35:22.760
Deaf Crocodi.
1819
01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:26.000
Yeah, want a lineup and a martial arts puppet movie.
1820
01:35:26.159 --> 01:35:29.039
That's awesome, awesome, all right.
1821
01:35:29.920 --> 01:35:32.560
Brandon is saying, what are the DEFA fairy tales? They
1822
01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:34.520
have not announced yet, so you will have to wait
1823
01:35:34.560 --> 01:35:36.279
and find out because there are a lot of DEFA
1824
01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:38.880
titles that are technically fairy tales that can be included,
1825
01:35:39.199 --> 01:35:41.760
So just wait and see if you want to subscribe.
1826
01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:45.800
Their subscription is only open until December nineteenth, and if
1827
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:48.920
you are going to subscribe, one little hint is you
1828
01:35:48.920 --> 01:35:51.520
can actually jump on and be a member first. And
1829
01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:53.920
they just put out brand new tiers for their membership
1830
01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:55.840
and one of them is the exact amount to get
1831
01:35:55.840 --> 01:35:59.439
a subscription, so you just immediately get a fifty dollars
1832
01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:02.279
disc if you become a member before you subscribe. So
1833
01:36:02.359 --> 01:36:09.720
check that out. That's awesome, Yes, good looking, great looking
1834
01:36:09.720 --> 01:36:16.399
something wow. Next, Paramount putting out the standalone four K
1835
01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:20.199
of Friday the thirteenth two. This is one that was
1836
01:36:20.199 --> 01:36:23.680
released in the Paramount Scares Volume two box set. This
1837
01:36:23.720 --> 01:36:25.720
is the first time it's been on its own on
1838
01:36:25.840 --> 01:36:28.399
four K in the US. This was released previously on
1839
01:36:28.560 --> 01:36:31.840
UK by itself in the UK. But yeah, no, no
1840
01:36:31.840 --> 01:36:33.600
new extras or anything like that. The scan for this
1841
01:36:33.640 --> 01:36:35.039
one is very good. I know a lot of people
1842
01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.560
were kind of put off by the Friday the thirteenth
1843
01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:40.159
Part one four K. This one looks great. Check it out.
1844
01:36:42.359 --> 01:36:44.800
Then I've got two things to talk about that are
1845
01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:47.920
not announcements but also kind of announcements. If you have
1846
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:50.760
never been involved in the Shelf Shock Rewind Awards, I
1847
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:54.720
have just opened up nominating for the Creator Creator sections.
1848
01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:58.399
Can't speak, let me start over. The Creator Selection Committee
1849
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:00.359
has just opened up nominations for the show Off Shock
1850
01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:02.720
Rewind Awards. And what are those awards if you've never
1851
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:05.680
seen them before, they are an award show dedicated to
1852
01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:07.920
physical media. That this will be the fourth year and
1853
01:37:08.039 --> 01:37:10.399
row that they are happening. It's a huge deal. Every
1854
01:37:10.439 --> 01:37:12.279
year we get people from the labels on to talk
1855
01:37:12.279 --> 01:37:15.479
about the releases, to accept their awards. We get creators
1856
01:37:15.479 --> 01:37:18.640
from all over the world that are filmmakers, YouTubers, podcasters,
1857
01:37:19.199 --> 01:37:22.119
home video restoration artist. We get people from these labels
1858
01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:24.720
all voting on their favorite releases of the year, and
1859
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:28.760
it is going to be huge this year, primarily because
1860
01:37:29.119 --> 01:37:31.920
I announced this is my last time hosting it. I'm
1861
01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:33.600
going to help out in the years to come, but yeah,
1862
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:35.159
this is my last time being the face of the
1863
01:37:35.199 --> 01:37:37.960
award show. And if you are a creator, meaning if
1864
01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:41.319
you have written books, if you've made films, if you're
1865
01:37:41.359 --> 01:37:44.600
a short film creator, if you've done anything in podcasting,
1866
01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:47.119
and you want to be a part of this, send
1867
01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:49.239
me a message on any of my social media or
1868
01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:53.039
email me at discconnected Media at gmail dot com and
1869
01:37:53.079 --> 01:37:54.920
I will get you the nomination form and you can
1870
01:37:55.000 --> 01:37:57.720
vote this year as part of the Creator Selection Committee.
1871
01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:00.000
It's a big ordeal. You'll love it. I would love
1872
01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:01.720
to have you be a part of it. Please check
1873
01:38:01.760 --> 01:38:06.640
it out. And the last thing for anybody that has
1874
01:38:06.680 --> 01:38:10.000
their own show, whether that be podcast, YouTube, anything like that,
1875
01:38:10.520 --> 01:38:13.399
I have a giant project that is getting announced in
1876
01:38:13.439 --> 01:38:15.800
January that I need to promote the hell out of
1877
01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:18.239
and so if you would have me, I would love
1878
01:38:18.239 --> 01:38:19.880
to be a guest. I'm trying to fill up as
1879
01:38:19.880 --> 01:38:22.439
many spots as I can. My schedule is going to
1880
01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:24.800
be packed pretty tight over the next six weeks of
1881
01:38:24.880 --> 01:38:28.760
promotional opportunities, so please have me on. I cannot wait
1882
01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:31.920
to share everybody what this is. But until then, if
1883
01:38:31.960 --> 01:38:33.600
you've got a show, please let me come on and
1884
01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:38.239
talk about it. We will happily discuss. All right, just

01:38:38.279 --> 01:38:40.880

Well, I will be checking out The Pee's Big Adventure.
1925
01:40:52.199 --> 01:40:55.199
I'm happy to replace my Snapcase DVD. That's one that
1926
01:40:55.239 --> 01:41:01.239
I missed missed in the last generation. I'm that's going
1927
01:41:01.279 --> 01:41:04.800
to be a huge upgrade for me there. The I mean,
1928
01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:07.720
I should look into the Reanimator four K that when
1929
01:41:07.760 --> 01:41:10.439
I have not ordered yet, but I would just love
1930
01:41:10.479 --> 01:41:14.000
to see the green needle in HDR just like disappear
1931
01:41:14.039 --> 01:41:16.520
down the street. The credit I imagine, like all the
1932
01:41:16.560 --> 01:41:18.479
opening credits are just going to be something that are
1933
01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:21.680
just just going to blow my mind. And the A
1934
01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:24.520
four K with the all the grading and everything done,
1935
01:41:25.479 --> 01:41:27.359
and yeah, there are there are a few down here.
1936
01:41:27.399 --> 01:41:28.920
Do you mind scrolling down a second?
1937
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:31.000
Sure? Absolutely? Yeah?
1938
01:41:31.079 --> 01:41:33.760
Oh, Walking Tall that was the one that so Unfortunately,
1939
01:41:33.760 --> 01:41:36.760
I'm still waiting for a nice release of the original
1940
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:40.840
Walking Tall. That's why I'm surprised that hasn't gotten a
1941
01:41:40.920 --> 01:41:45.039
nice like special edition from anywhere. It is. It seems
1942
01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:48.000
like a because when I saw again, I think I
1943
01:41:48.039 --> 01:41:50.399
saw this without the cover announced to like somewhere Walking
1944
01:41:50.399 --> 01:41:52.199
Tall four K and I started jumping up and down.
1945
01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:54.279
I was like, no, no, it's the wrong one, it's
1946
01:41:54.399 --> 01:41:59.199
the wrong Yeah, but yeah, there's some good weeks here.
1947
01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:01.560
Stuff they're squeeze in right before the holidays.
1948
01:42:01.880 --> 01:42:05.640
October November December has been brutal for pig. Like, there
1949
01:42:05.640 --> 01:42:08.279
are so many things. It is impossible to get everything
1950
01:42:08.319 --> 01:42:11.279
you want with the pricing and everything. But god, if
1951
01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:13.600
I could, man, I would be surrounded by stacks right
1952
01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:14.159
this moment.
1953
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:17.600
Yeah, Boogie Nights. Booge Nights is another one that I
1954
01:42:17.640 --> 01:42:19.479
did not get to. I did not get the Blue Rye.
1955
01:42:19.479 --> 01:42:24.079
I still got the Slipcase DVD that is, you know,
1956
01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:27.119
really extremely battered at this place because it's come with
1957
01:42:27.199 --> 01:42:30.520
me from four five different moves.
1958
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:32.800
Great DVD, I will say, yeah.
1959
01:42:32.680 --> 01:42:34.880
Yeah, so that's one of those ones that's a very
1960
01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:38.000
very battered one that I'm way over due to replace.
1961
01:42:38.399 --> 01:42:42.079
So incredible week ahead. Check it out if you are
1962
01:42:42.159 --> 01:42:45.800
after anything all right, before we get into our topic
1963
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:48.720
for the night. The Cannon film guides are out there.
1964
01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:51.600
I don't when did the first one come out?
1965
01:42:51.760 --> 01:42:55.119
That was the first one. Yeah, So I released my
1966
01:42:55.159 --> 01:43:00.640
first book in twenty twenty, in spring of twenty twenty. Great, yeah,
1967
01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:03.159
so that was I got to do some traveling around
1968
01:43:03.159 --> 01:43:05.159
and doing some book events and stuff for the second one,
1969
01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:11.399
which came out in twenty twenty two. So yeah, it's
1970
01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:13.560
it's it's been a little while. The third one is
1971
01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:16.600
taking me much longer when my kids are older, they
1972
01:43:17.720 --> 01:43:21.479
have more things going on. But it's also it's interesting
1973
01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:24.600
because this last era of Canon, the later years, like
1974
01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:26.359
I call it the straight to video era because a
1975
01:43:26.359 --> 01:43:28.520
lot of the stuff was going straight to video. And
1976
01:43:29.239 --> 01:43:31.520
it's amazing because you do get into these movies that
1977
01:43:32.520 --> 01:43:37.239
have not nearly as many letterbox views as you think
1978
01:43:37.359 --> 01:43:40.840
that they haven't been written about even because they weren't
1979
01:43:40.840 --> 01:43:44.399
released in theaters, even original reviews. So the research is
1980
01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:48.600
surprisingly for this volume has a lot of it has
1981
01:43:48.640 --> 01:43:51.479
to come from the direct direct sources because I can't
1982
01:43:51.479 --> 01:43:54.560
get production vote about it unless I talk to somebody
1983
01:43:54.560 --> 01:43:58.239
who is there. So it's it's definitely been a slower
1984
01:43:58.279 --> 01:44:01.079
process writing this one, but I am looking away at
1985
01:44:01.119 --> 01:44:04.239
it everywhere I can, and I'm excited. It's there are
1986
01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:07.199
some chapters in there that are some of my favorites
1987
01:44:07.319 --> 01:44:10.000
I've written that I'm very excited to get out there
1988
01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:12.960
and share. And there's some fun stuff. Even though we
1989
01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:18.279
are past most of the biggest, best known canon movies
1990
01:44:18.479 --> 01:44:20.399
that most people associate, by the time you get to
1991
01:44:20.840 --> 01:44:23.760
you still get Van Dam, like the Rise of Van Dam.
1992
01:44:24.039 --> 01:44:26.600
You get you do get a lot more Do to Cough,
1993
01:44:26.640 --> 01:44:28.760
You get a lot more Norris and a few couple
1994
01:44:28.840 --> 01:44:31.760
more Bronze and movies squeezed in there, but you do
1995
01:44:31.920 --> 01:44:34.079
get like the whole story of the Lombarda the Warring
1996
01:44:34.119 --> 01:44:37.359
Lombarda movies, which I want to say is like Mike
1997
01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:40.039
ken Burns documentary that I've written here, it's just the
1998
01:44:40.479 --> 01:44:43.880
Lombarda Wars going on. So there's just stuff that I'm
1999
01:44:43.960 --> 01:44:48.560
really really excited. Movies that I written did not expect
2000
01:44:48.560 --> 01:44:52.399
to be this excited and find this much interesting stuff
2001
01:44:52.399 --> 01:44:54.800
about them. So it's it's been a fun one because
2002
01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:57.840
this is one where I've really had to dig deep
2003
01:44:58.279 --> 01:45:00.720
on a lot of these. But the st I'm pulling out.
2004
01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:05.960
There is truly stuff that you know, these are movies
2005
01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:07.960
that people haven't talked about. This is another one that
2006
01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:11.720
between the first two volumes there's still like a handful
2007
01:45:11.760 --> 01:45:16.239
of movies that are only available on VHS or in
2008
01:45:16.279 --> 01:45:18.319
the in the first two volumes. On this one, I
2009
01:45:18.279 --> 01:45:22.199
would say maybe a third of it has never had
2010
01:45:22.199 --> 01:45:26.199
a proper DVD release. So I am I am screening
2011
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:28.840
these from you know, I've got a beautiful four K TV,
2012
01:45:29.199 --> 01:45:34.279
but then I've got a tiny VHS built in TV
2013
01:45:34.600 --> 01:45:36.439
that's sitting in the corner of this office over here,
2014
01:45:36.439 --> 01:45:40.279
and I'm watching erotic, like very bad erotic thrillers.
2015
01:45:40.279 --> 01:45:40.920
That are.
2016
01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:44.880
Yeah yeah, that were that that that were rentals, so
2017
01:45:44.920 --> 01:45:48.000
they're very worn out. And so it's it's fun because
2018
01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:51.319
it's also when I started the first book, a lot
2019
01:45:51.319 --> 01:45:53.039
of the movies that are now on Blu Ray, we're
2020
01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:55.720
not on Blu Ray yet, right, So it's it's cool.
2021
01:45:55.760 --> 01:45:57.640
It's it's taking me back to that very beginning because
2022
01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:00.319
it's it's a fun way to watch these movies as
2023
01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:03.399
glad as I as glad as I am to watch
2024
01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:06.319
Revenge of the JENNI four K. I'm very excited for it.
2025
01:46:06.319 --> 01:46:09.680
It's also very fun still to pop in the big
2026
01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:12.359
box VHS tape and watch it the same way I
2027
01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:14.880
did when I was, you know, in sixth grade.
2028
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:18.319
It has been a hell of a five years for Canon.
2029
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:21.399
A lot of the stuff that never got attention has
2030
01:46:21.439 --> 01:46:24.520
gotten releases that has led to people finally talking about them.
2031
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:28.239
And I gotta say, like, I love the first two books.
2032
01:46:28.479 --> 01:46:32.039
I'm very stoked that people have truly discovered things about
2033
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:35.039
them because there's lots lots of information that has never
2034
01:46:35.079 --> 01:46:37.159
been compiled that way before, which is why you had
2035
01:46:37.199 --> 01:46:39.439
to do it. So thank you, thank you. But I
2036
01:46:39.520 --> 01:46:42.520
must say I think the third one is the one
2037
01:46:42.560 --> 01:46:46.159
that I'm like most eager for because again there's not
2038
01:46:46.520 --> 01:46:49.520
like writing on most of these films. A lot of
2039
01:46:49.520 --> 01:46:52.159
the films from the first two books, there was some
2040
01:46:52.199 --> 01:46:54.720
stuff out there sure never compiled like this, But this
2041
01:46:54.760 --> 01:46:57.159
one seems to be the most exciting for the people
2042
01:46:57.159 --> 01:47:00.800
that like discovering things for things brand new to them.
2043
01:47:00.840 --> 01:47:04.239
So I can't imagine, like the research process, how are
2044
01:47:04.239 --> 01:47:06.640
you going about that? What is when you're watching one
2045
01:47:06.680 --> 01:47:08.520
of these that doesn't have a modern Blu ray release,
2046
01:47:08.560 --> 01:47:10.399
what all are you doing to research? Well?
2047
01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:14.199
I mean so there's a lot. If if there's any
2048
01:47:14.199 --> 01:47:17.600
major star anything, any not even I can't say major star,
2049
01:47:17.800 --> 01:47:21.800
like even recognizable star. If if you can watch the
2050
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:26.239
movie and notice, like know somebody's name, uh you start,
2051
01:47:26.640 --> 01:47:28.359
you can you can a lot of it. I'd look
2052
01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:32.000
through old articles. I have a lot of newspaper subscriptions.
2053
01:47:32.119 --> 01:47:34.159
I spent a lot of time down at the Performing
2054
01:47:34.239 --> 01:47:37.159
Arts Library in the Concenter because they have some great
2055
01:47:37.680 --> 01:47:44.399
archives from Variety and all the different trade magazines. There's that,
2056
01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:47.720
but then the stuff for the films where that's not available,
2057
01:47:47.760 --> 01:47:52.079
which is a lot of them. I'll be honest, I
2058
01:47:52.119 --> 01:47:56.119
am going down the credits list and seeing who I
2059
01:47:56.119 --> 01:48:01.359
can find on LinkedIn, on Facebook, on and sending a
2060
01:48:01.600 --> 01:48:06.840
very uh, very kind email messages. Hey, you don't know me.
2061
01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:10.840
I you know, you made this movie thirty years ago,
2062
01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:13.039
and maybe it was the only movie you in or
2063
01:48:13.079 --> 01:48:15.159
one of a few movies you worked on like a
2064
01:48:15.159 --> 01:48:18.039
few years ago, but would you like to talk about it?
2065
01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:21.159
And so it's nice. You know a lot of times
2066
01:48:21.159 --> 01:48:24.479
there aren't responses, but then there are the responses where
2067
01:48:24.479 --> 01:48:27.479
it's like, yeah, I'm somebody's like I've never nobody's asked
2068
01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:31.399
me about this movie. You know, I've been working as
2069
01:48:31.520 --> 01:48:33.640
you know, like I haven't even been in the film
2070
01:48:33.680 --> 01:48:36.520
business for you know, years and years and years. But
2071
01:48:36.720 --> 01:48:39.800
I'm excited to tell these stories and they'll remember things,
2072
01:48:39.880 --> 01:48:42.279
and so it's it's a lot of that, a lot
2073
01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:45.800
of directly trying to just hunt down the people. And
2074
01:48:46.239 --> 01:48:49.840
what's nice is this process is easier to do that
2075
01:48:49.920 --> 01:48:52.319
than it was for the movies that were made in
2076
01:48:52.399 --> 01:48:55.479
eighty eighty one, eighty two. Because movies that are made
2077
01:48:55.479 --> 01:48:57.880
in ninety two, ninety three, you know, even in the
2078
01:48:57.960 --> 01:49:02.560
ninety four the people there, that's almost a difference, like
2079
01:49:02.760 --> 01:49:05.479
that's fIF like ten to fifteen years, so you're you're
2080
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:08.720
working with people who are not quite as up there
2081
01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:12.399
in age, and so it's made it a little bit easier.
2082
01:49:14.600 --> 01:49:16.760
I don't know, if you say see this, Craig says,
2083
01:49:16.760 --> 01:49:18.279
we just had our roof done at our house. And
2084
01:49:18.319 --> 01:49:20.319
the guy's dad was one of the founders of Cannon.
2085
01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:26.399
That's awesome. That is awesome. Yeah, out, and that's that's
2086
01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:30.079
very cool. I think I wonder, I wonder who's working
2087
01:49:30.119 --> 01:49:33.199
and roofing. But yeah, he has a couple sons, two
2088
01:49:33.199 --> 01:49:36.319
sons at least, So.
2089
01:49:35.520 --> 01:49:39.159
All right, so the two books available on Amazon and
2090
01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:42.520
hopefully a lot of independent bookstore. Still, where's the best
2091
01:49:42.520 --> 01:49:44.119
place for people to pick them up to support you?
2092
01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:49.720
Well, it from from my end anywhere, that's it's all.
2093
01:49:49.720 --> 01:49:52.119
It's all the same to me. And with that note,
2094
01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:55.840
any any independent bookstore can grab it for you. If
2095
01:49:55.840 --> 01:49:59.319
you have an independent bookstore, just give them the title.
2096
01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:02.319
They can order it through a very large distributor and
2097
01:50:03.319 --> 01:50:05.920
at least they'll pick up some Because on my end,
2098
01:50:06.399 --> 01:50:09.720
whether you get it from Amazon or you get it
2099
01:50:09.720 --> 01:50:11.960
from the place on the corner doesn't make a difference
2100
01:50:11.960 --> 01:50:14.039
to me. I'd rather you at least get some of
2101
01:50:14.039 --> 01:50:17.680
that money to go somewhere independence, right that' said, unless
2102
01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:19.359
you see me at like the Mahoning drive in or
2103
01:50:19.399 --> 01:50:22.159
something with a table set up like that's the best place.
2104
01:50:22.199 --> 01:50:26.399
That's that's limited by geography.
2105
01:50:26.439 --> 01:50:29.119
Sad but true. So yes, please go check those out
2106
01:50:29.159 --> 01:50:32.319
if you are even semi interested in Canon films. Literally
2107
01:50:32.560 --> 01:50:34.920
some of the best film reference books out there from
2108
01:50:34.920 --> 01:50:38.239
the last ten years. Truly, just honored to have you
2109
01:50:38.279 --> 01:50:40.840
on the show. I adore your work and glad you're here.
2110
01:50:41.239 --> 01:50:43.159
Thank you, thank you so much. That really means a lot.
2111
01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:46.720
Well, then, let's change the subject dramatically from cannon films
2112
01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:49.159
to talk about holiday films. So tonight we are talking
2113
01:50:49.159 --> 01:50:53.560
about Off the Beaten Path, the Weirdo, Blu Ray recommendations
2114
01:50:53.560 --> 01:50:56.199
for holiday movies. Why are you into these type of
2115
01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:58.159
movies there, Austin, Well.
2116
01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:01.680
So this is the time of year. We first talked
2117
01:51:01.720 --> 01:51:06.720
about this months ago getting together, but seasons have come
2118
01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:09.720
in this. We're in the middle of the holiday season now.
2119
01:51:10.039 --> 01:51:12.399
As evidence behind me, I usually don't have the Christmas
2120
01:51:12.439 --> 01:51:14.600
tree blanket here. The rest of this stuff is here
2121
01:51:14.640 --> 01:51:18.720
for the most part, but I have a box of movies,
2122
01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:22.119
and it's you know, you have all of the classics,
2123
01:51:22.159 --> 01:51:25.079
the stuff that you see every year that's played on
2124
01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:28.119
TV around your Christmas stories, your l's, your It's wonderful
2125
01:51:28.159 --> 01:51:31.119
life and all of those are in there. But there
2126
01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:32.880
are also like a stack of movies that I've picked
2127
01:51:32.920 --> 01:51:35.000
up from labels to have, like some Christmas themes and
2128
01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:37.000
things like that, are things that you wouldn't necessarily think
2129
01:51:37.000 --> 01:51:39.439
of immediately as a Christmas movie, and they all come
2130
01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:41.560
out of this box, which this box is what comes
2131
01:51:41.560 --> 01:51:46.079
out the day after Thanksgiving for me, and it's what
2132
01:51:46.119 --> 01:51:49.399
we work through like I do get really into the
2133
01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:51.880
holiday movie season. To be honest, a lot of my
2134
01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:57.800
all time favorite movies are holiday movies. So that's yeah.
2135
01:51:58.479 --> 01:52:01.000
I love this time of year, and I love movies
2136
01:52:01.079 --> 01:52:03.720
set in this time of year, and I think there's
2137
01:52:03.760 --> 01:52:05.520
always a few weeks, especially when we have such a
2138
01:52:05.520 --> 01:52:09.600
short holiday season right as we do this time, that
2139
01:52:09.920 --> 01:52:13.000
I am just trying to dive as head first as
2140
01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:17.960
I can into the world of holiday films.
2141
01:52:18.119 --> 01:52:20.279
I am so stoked to see when you pick tonight.
2142
01:52:20.960 --> 01:52:22.840
There is some great titles that have been released by
2143
01:52:22.840 --> 01:52:25.560
boutiques here in the last three months that could easily
2144
01:52:25.560 --> 01:52:28.359
fall on this list. We are going to dive into
2145
01:52:28.399 --> 01:52:31.520
as many of them as we can. I pulled. I
2146
01:52:31.520 --> 01:52:34.079
think I've got seven here just in case, and then
2147
01:52:34.119 --> 01:52:37.199
I'm sure we'll both have some honorable mentions that if
2148
01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:38.680
they're not on either of our list we can shout
2149
01:52:38.680 --> 01:52:41.359
out really quick. So let's see, what is your first recommendation.
2150
01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:43.199
These aren'tranked or anything like that. These are just like
2151
01:52:43.239 --> 01:52:44.000
five favorites.
2152
01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:49.560
Yeah, yeah, these are just ones that I've been so Cronauer.
2153
01:52:49.640 --> 01:52:52.720
I'm sorry I'm butchering your handle here, but he just
2154
01:52:52.760 --> 01:52:57.720
spoiled one. But just because this release is so fantastic,
2155
01:52:57.760 --> 01:53:00.920
and it's still in a few hundred copies left, especially
2156
01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:04.359
since the movie Orgy sold out so fast in this
2157
01:53:04.439 --> 01:53:07.279
last sale that I looked before I grabbed it to
2158
01:53:07.319 --> 01:53:09.239
talk about it tonight, because I was like, oh, I'm
2159
01:53:09.279 --> 01:53:12.479
sure it's gone. I'm sure it's unavailable. And this is great,
2160
01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:17.039
this movie, I mean, it is easy to see anywhere.
2161
01:53:19.119 --> 01:53:22.079
A lot of the Mystery Science their version is, which
2162
01:53:22.119 --> 01:53:23.680
is the first one I saw, and it's easy to find.
2163
01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:27.000
But this release is, I mean the movie, it's a
2164
01:53:27.079 --> 01:53:29.840
it's a great version of this film. But it has
2165
01:53:29.920 --> 01:53:33.880
so much cool stuff on it. They have bgfuzzed one,
2166
01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:36.920
this whole yeah and thing what they call it. This
2167
01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:41.680
Santa Claus Conquers the Drive In, plus just a bunch
2168
01:53:41.680 --> 01:53:47.680
of something weird VHS mastered stuff, like just bizarre Christmas things.
2169
01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:51.800
They've got the Liberati Librotci Christmas Special on here, lots
2170
01:53:51.840 --> 01:53:54.680
of like bumpers, little spe like odd things, and I'd
2171
01:53:54.720 --> 01:53:56.800
love for weird Christmas stuff. And this is a disc
2172
01:53:56.920 --> 01:54:00.319
that's like some of their other releases. I mean, they
2173
01:54:00.359 --> 01:54:04.680
did the great thing with the drive In bumpers recently,
2174
01:54:05.039 --> 01:54:07.159
and all their horror they do the trailer discs and
2175
01:54:07.199 --> 01:54:10.520
the mixtapes and stuff. That's something that they do incredibly well,
2176
01:54:10.600 --> 01:54:14.399
and that's always when their announcements go up. I have
2177
01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:16.920
to have to see it because they also do the
2178
01:54:16.960 --> 01:54:20.560
play all function, which I love. So this is something
2179
01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:25.520
that as soon as Christmas dinner, i mean Thanksgiving dinner
2180
01:54:25.880 --> 01:54:29.359
dinner was over, we had myrr watch and this is
2181
01:54:29.399 --> 01:54:33.880
one that just went straight in and played probably twice through,
2182
01:54:34.039 --> 01:54:37.600
and it's just it's just awesome. And Santa's Conquers the
2183
01:54:37.640 --> 01:54:41.479
Martians is a very fun film. I'm I'm hoping someday
2184
01:54:41.520 --> 01:54:45.840
we get a similar release of Santa Claus or Santa
2185
01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:48.239
Claus Versus the Devil, the other one that was on
2186
01:54:48.439 --> 01:54:50.680
Mistery Sience there that's public domain, but I'm guessing the
2187
01:54:50.760 --> 01:54:53.880
elements or there's just nothing that looks good. It's the
2188
01:54:54.279 --> 01:54:57.439
The DVD copies are as good as it might ever
2189
01:54:57.479 --> 01:55:00.560
look for us, but I'd love to see that. But
2190
01:55:00.760 --> 01:55:02.359
this is this is an awesome disc and I think
2191
01:55:02.359 --> 01:55:04.359
there are like still like three hundred copies or something
2192
01:55:04.359 --> 01:55:05.479
when I check this afternoon.
2193
01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:09.560
So yeah, the standard edition is still in stock. There's
2194
01:55:09.560 --> 01:55:12.319
almost four hundred of those. Pick those up. They're shipping
2195
01:55:12.319 --> 01:55:14.880
partner label stuff right now pretty quick, so if you
2196
01:55:15.039 --> 01:55:17.039
order just this title, they might ship that even like
2197
01:55:17.079 --> 01:55:19.079
this week and get it to you before Christmas. So
2198
01:55:19.920 --> 01:55:22.880
totally worth it. This disc is great and yeah, good
2199
01:55:22.880 --> 01:55:25.720
shout on the play. All AGFA does that as like
2200
01:55:25.800 --> 01:55:28.279
a special feature. A lot of times they'll put three
2201
01:55:28.319 --> 01:55:31.000
films on a disc and literally you press one button
2202
01:55:31.079 --> 01:55:33.399
and you've got the next four hours of your life
2203
01:55:33.439 --> 01:55:36.359
programmed for you, and it's always a good time.
2204
01:55:37.039 --> 01:55:41.199
Yeah. So that's my first one, And thanks to Cronauer
2205
01:55:41.199 --> 01:55:43.239
because I did as soon as he they said that,
2206
01:55:43.279 --> 01:55:45.720
I jump in with it because I'm like, I'm betting
2207
01:55:45.720 --> 01:55:47.560
this is on Ryan. This might be on Ryan's file.
2208
01:55:48.159 --> 01:55:50.119
I I kind of assumed it was gonna be on yours.
2209
01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:52.880
So I love all right.
2210
01:55:53.439 --> 01:55:56.039
I actually mine one of the ways that I thought
2211
01:55:56.079 --> 01:55:58.840
I would juxtapose you. I went slightly more modern on
2212
01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:01.800
a few of mine, so we'll see if any of
2213
01:56:01.840 --> 01:56:06.159
those crossover. The first one I had to highlight his
2214
01:56:06.199 --> 01:56:08.520
film because I adore this movie. This is by far
2215
01:56:08.560 --> 01:56:11.399
the most mainstream of these picks, though this is the
2216
01:56:11.439 --> 01:56:15.880
beautiful movie Tangerine by Sean Baker. This release is just
2217
01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:19.239
incredible from the Second Sight if you don't know, because
2218
01:56:19.279 --> 01:56:22.720
this obviously doesn't jump across as a Christmas movie. It
2219
01:56:22.800 --> 01:56:25.640
takes place on Christmas Eve. All of these stories are
2220
01:56:26.600 --> 01:56:29.359
mashing up together at Christmas Eve at a donut shop.
2221
01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:33.800
It is a just beautiful, classic Sean Baker story, like
2222
01:56:33.920 --> 01:56:37.239
this classic moment in time of these different families facing
2223
01:56:37.239 --> 01:56:41.359
their different problems and different things happening to different people
2224
01:56:41.439 --> 01:56:44.399
and how they respond to them. And then oddly enough,
2225
01:56:44.760 --> 01:56:47.760
all of those stories just happened across paths at the
2226
01:56:47.760 --> 01:56:51.800
perfect moment, and that synchronicity and this slice of life
2227
01:56:51.800 --> 01:56:54.199
moment is what makes a lot of Sean Baker stuff
2228
01:56:54.279 --> 01:56:58.760
really special. And I will say this is easily the
2229
01:57:00.000 --> 01:57:02.000
better than I could have dreamed for a movie shot
2230
01:57:02.039 --> 01:57:04.319
on iPhones. Like this is the first movie that everybody was,
2231
01:57:04.520 --> 01:57:06.439
oh my god, this whole thing was shot on iPhones.
2232
01:57:06.479 --> 01:57:10.000
And it's still a very beautiful looking movie. It is
2233
01:57:10.079 --> 01:57:13.239
so well made. The booklet on this is really great.
2234
01:57:13.800 --> 01:57:16.600
The extras on here are pretty great. Second Site has
2235
01:57:16.640 --> 01:57:19.479
delivered another good release of his stuff this year with
2236
01:57:19.479 --> 01:57:22.279
the Florida Project, But honestly that I feel like the
2237
01:57:22.279 --> 01:57:25.199
Tangerine release is even better than the Florida Project, So
2238
01:57:25.600 --> 01:57:27.920
check it out. I truly love Tangerine. If you've not
2239
01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:29.439
seen it, please please see it.
2240
01:57:29.800 --> 01:57:31.479
Yeah, that's such a good one. I don't have that
2241
01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:34.520
release or that would have been the top of my pile.
2242
01:57:34.560 --> 01:57:35.439
That's such a good one.
2243
01:57:35.680 --> 01:57:38.319
Nice, all right, your second choice?
2244
01:57:38.560 --> 01:57:41.800
All right, let me go through here and see because
2245
01:57:43.079 --> 01:57:45.000
one of these, I'm afraid is out of print, so
2246
01:57:45.039 --> 01:57:50.239
I'm gonna save that till the end. Well, okay, so
2247
01:57:50.359 --> 01:57:54.520
this is from a label that's I am a big
2248
01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:57.960
fan of, and it's something that when they first broke
2249
01:57:58.000 --> 01:58:01.600
on the scene, I did not think like it was like, oh, okay,
2250
01:58:01.600 --> 01:58:04.279
that's that's kind of interesting. But then I've kind of
2251
01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:07.039
been on top of everything they've been putting out because
2252
01:58:08.239 --> 01:58:11.359
they it's it's very well curated, but it's Canadian International,
2253
01:58:12.279 --> 01:58:17.000
and I again like Canadian cinema. I obviously I don't.
2254
01:58:17.199 --> 01:58:19.600
I don't know it other than stuff that came here.
2255
01:58:19.640 --> 01:58:22.840
But they're so well curated with the stuff that they
2256
01:58:22.960 --> 01:58:27.920
get and I love that about them. But they've been
2257
01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:31.159
putting out the tales for all movies, a few of them,
2258
01:58:31.319 --> 01:58:35.840
and you can guess it's probably the Christmas Martian is
2259
01:58:36.199 --> 01:58:41.760
one that's I So this was made by a documentary filmmaker.
2260
01:58:41.800 --> 01:58:45.000
I believe it is only narrative feature he made, and
2261
01:58:45.199 --> 01:58:49.680
it is a bizarre little movie, but it has some
2262
01:58:49.800 --> 01:58:55.000
very creative visual effects. It's basically Mankind's like first Encounter
2263
01:58:55.119 --> 01:58:59.680
with Aliens, but it happens to be a Christmas an
2264
01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:03.039
a and a goofy alien who lands in Quebec like
2265
01:59:03.079 --> 01:59:07.119
around Christmas time, and there's some some fun visual tricks.
2266
01:59:07.520 --> 01:59:09.319
He flies around with the kids when he's walking around
2267
01:59:09.399 --> 01:59:12.960
the snow, the leaves, green spots. He plays hockey by
2268
01:59:13.000 --> 01:59:15.760
like sliding around on his belly like a penguin with
2269
01:59:15.800 --> 01:59:20.119
the children. And it is the most the most low
2270
01:59:20.159 --> 01:59:24.920
stakes alien invasion movie or like alien come to Earth
2271
01:59:24.960 --> 01:59:27.479
movie that I've ever seen. Like eventually they like the
2272
01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:30.239
folk try to like they get suspicious of them, but
2273
01:59:30.640 --> 01:59:33.720
it's mostly like an alien comes and visits Earth around
2274
01:59:33.800 --> 01:59:35.560
Christmas time and just has a good time with some
2275
01:59:35.680 --> 01:59:38.720
kids for a little while and then yeah, it's it's
2276
01:59:38.760 --> 01:59:41.720
it's great and there there There are actually some other movies,
2277
01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:44.960
but like so many Canadian international movies, and I think
2278
01:59:45.039 --> 01:59:46.760
just a lot of movies shot in Cana, it's very
2279
01:59:46.760 --> 01:59:51.520
snowy in there there. So this is a movie that's
2280
01:59:52.439 --> 01:59:55.920
it's just shot on very deep, very real snow. It's
2281
01:59:55.920 --> 02:00:00.319
it's beautiful, it's it feels very Christmasy watching it, even
2282
02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:03.119
though the Christmas content the biggest part of it. But
2283
02:00:03.680 --> 02:00:09.479
it's a delightful, delightful release and from a label that, again,
2284
02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:13.560
like if you if I, I wouldn't. I would never have.
2285
02:00:13.680 --> 02:00:15.199
If I'd gone back in time and told myself that
2286
02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:17.520
one of my favorite labels would be one that just
2287
02:00:17.520 --> 02:00:21.680
puts out Canadian movies that you haven't seen, I would not.
2288
02:00:24.239 --> 02:00:27.199
I would just like I never would have believed that
2289
02:00:27.239 --> 02:00:28.880
this would be like one of the ones I would
2290
02:00:28.880 --> 02:00:32.520
get most excited about when like the OCN announcements up
2291
02:00:32.560 --> 02:00:36.079
and I'm like, I guess that's it's ag fun. Uh.
2292
02:00:36.279 --> 02:00:39.000
Usually Canadian and Ashley the first two I go to
2293
02:00:39.039 --> 02:00:40.239
look for to see what's new.
2294
02:00:42.119 --> 02:00:45.399
That is a great choice. Yeah, Canadian International is great
2295
02:00:45.439 --> 02:00:49.279
at what they do. I'm hoping that they ramp up
2296
02:00:49.319 --> 02:00:51.640
some some big releases soume. They've been teasing some big things,
2297
02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:53.279
but the last couple of months they've been kind of quiet.
2298
02:00:53.319 --> 02:00:56.640
So eager to see what they got coming next. This
2299
02:00:56.800 --> 02:01:01.520
next one is one that does not get a lot
2300
02:01:01.560 --> 02:01:04.279
of Christmas love for a lot of people. But funny enough,
2301
02:01:04.560 --> 02:01:07.119
a lot of the marketing has Christmas in the marketing
2302
02:01:07.600 --> 02:01:10.680
and is something that when you watch it, it's quite
2303
02:01:10.680 --> 02:01:13.960
obviously a Christmas movie. And I'm sadly I'm not going
2304
02:01:14.039 --> 02:01:15.520
to say a ton about the plot on this one
2305
02:01:15.560 --> 02:01:17.479
because if you've not seen it, which is most people,
2306
02:01:17.920 --> 02:01:20.319
I'm gonna say you have to see this movie, not
2307
02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:23.359
blind and so I'll say a couple of details. But
2308
02:01:23.960 --> 02:01:26.319
if you've not seen it yet, you must see nineteen
2309
02:01:26.399 --> 02:01:30.159
seventy eight's The Silent Partner Eliot Gold. You can see
2310
02:01:30.159 --> 02:01:32.680
Santa Claus straight on the cover here holding a gun,
2311
02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:35.239
So yeah, there's something interesting here. But for those of
2312
02:01:35.239 --> 02:01:37.520
you that don't know, this is starring Elliott Gould and
2313
02:01:37.600 --> 02:01:41.039
Christopher Plumber. This is a bank robbery movie where Elliott
2314
02:01:41.039 --> 02:01:46.840
Gould is just a casual employee at the bank and
2315
02:01:47.039 --> 02:01:52.399
he is witnessing this robbery and stuff happens, and it
2316
02:01:52.520 --> 02:01:55.159
is a much more compelling story than that sounds. It
2317
02:01:55.239 --> 02:01:59.680
is really well acted. It is shot impeccably, and the
2318
02:01:59.760 --> 02:02:02.119
act and it is very good for the type of
2319
02:02:02.119 --> 02:02:05.119
movie that it is. I think it is easily one
2320
02:02:05.119 --> 02:02:07.720
of the more undersung like you should watch this as
2321
02:02:07.720 --> 02:02:10.800
an off the beaten path Christmas stories because it fits
2322
02:02:10.840 --> 02:02:13.079
up there with like your modern stuff like kiss Kiss,
2323
02:02:13.079 --> 02:02:15.640
Bang bang or leave the Weapon like we were talking about,
2324
02:02:15.760 --> 02:02:18.800
kind of similar feeling, but less on the comedy side.
2325
02:02:19.279 --> 02:02:22.319
The Silent Partner great early appearance from John Candy for
2326
02:02:22.399 --> 02:02:26.399
you speaking of Canadians. Yeah, check out The Silent Partner.
2327
02:02:26.439 --> 02:02:28.800
I believe Keno has announced that that's coming on four K.
2328
02:02:29.159 --> 02:02:31.319
So if you don't have it and you are an upgrader,
2329
02:02:31.399 --> 02:02:33.399
you might want to wait slightly. But uh yeah, the
2330
02:02:33.399 --> 02:02:36.199
Blu ray is out there. It's very cheap, great looking
2331
02:02:36.279 --> 02:02:38.800
release as well. Me personally, I'm probably not going to
2332
02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:41.000
upgrade to the four K. The Blues more than enough
2333
02:02:41.039 --> 02:02:42.399
for me. I've watched it a few times.
2334
02:02:42.720 --> 02:02:44.279
I was gonna say that one. At least they waited
2335
02:02:44.279 --> 02:02:46.319
a full year for before announcing a four K. I
2336
02:02:46.319 --> 02:02:48.960
picked that up. I think the November sale of last year.
2337
02:02:49.800 --> 02:02:55.199
I wanted it for the holiday time. Yeah all right,
2338
02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:59.319
so for my next one, here I reach over. Let
2339
02:02:59.319 --> 02:03:03.520
me see. Well, we were admiring so many great covers
2340
02:03:03.520 --> 02:03:07.760
and so many great releases from Warner Archive and the
2341
02:03:08.880 --> 02:03:12.640
there's a zing sale going on right now. So I
2342
02:03:12.720 --> 02:03:17.199
have a bunch of Warner Archive holiday releases up there,
2343
02:03:17.239 --> 02:03:19.920
and I could have picked Shop around the Corner or
2344
02:03:21.800 --> 02:03:26.880
they have like well the Thin Man movies. Even like those,
2345
02:03:27.359 --> 02:03:29.960
those count I will count them. But the one that
2346
02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:32.800
I enjoy because Robert Robert Mitchum is one of my
2347
02:03:32.800 --> 02:03:39.279
favorites actors, this one is Holiday Affair. It is one
2348
02:03:39.319 --> 02:03:41.439
that I had seen on TCM a bunch of times,
2349
02:03:41.439 --> 02:03:43.279
and so as soon as they announced it a few
2350
02:03:43.319 --> 02:03:45.560
years ago, I had to be on top of that.
2351
02:03:47.399 --> 02:03:52.039
It is Robert Mitcham. Uh not a creepy Robert Mitcham,
2352
02:03:52.079 --> 02:03:58.159
which is always always fun to see, but he is Basically,
2353
02:03:58.159 --> 02:04:00.840
there's a woman who she has a young son and
2354
02:04:00.920 --> 02:04:05.800
she's got a stable, wealthy I think her boyfriend's a lawyer.
2355
02:04:06.039 --> 02:04:10.039
Fiance is a lawyer, and you know, smoking hot Robert
2356
02:04:10.239 --> 02:04:13.800
Robert Mitcham comes along and makes a connection with her son,
2357
02:04:13.840 --> 02:04:15.600
buys them a toy train at a department store that
2358
02:04:15.640 --> 02:04:17.279
you can't afford, and like the Sun, sort of falls
2359
02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:19.720
in love with them. So it creates this triangle love
2360
02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:23.479
triangle between is she going to go for the guy
2361
02:04:23.560 --> 02:04:28.319
that the wealthy guy that she's with and that everyone
2362
02:04:28.319 --> 02:04:31.039
around her likes or does she go for, you know,
2363
02:04:31.119 --> 02:04:36.800
the kind of rough around the edges, almost like drifter
2364
02:04:37.000 --> 02:04:40.279
type Robert Mitchum and you can you can guess where
2365
02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:42.000
it's going to go. But it plays out in a
2366
02:04:42.079 --> 02:04:46.119
very very fun way in this one and yeah one Archive.
2367
02:04:46.119 --> 02:04:48.880
I have like I think four or five of their
2368
02:04:49.119 --> 02:04:52.279
blue releases in my Christmas box, but this is this
2369
02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:53.640
is my favorite of the bunch.
2370
02:04:54.640 --> 02:04:56.960
I just started thinking of all of the war Archive
2371
02:04:57.039 --> 02:04:59.039
titles that could fit in that box. And I mean
2372
02:04:59.479 --> 02:05:01.359
meet Me and Sa Lewis is another one. There's like
2373
02:05:01.880 --> 02:05:05.600
eleven titles easily that jumps from mind. Yeah, solid pick
2374
02:05:05.800 --> 02:05:07.760
and I love that it's a Warner Archive title. It's
2375
02:05:07.960 --> 02:05:10.199
again like I said earlier, it's a great time support
2376
02:05:10.199 --> 02:05:15.079
Warner Archive. All Right, I'm gonna go from nineteen to
2377
02:05:15.159 --> 02:05:17.920
what was a seventy eight to a much much much
2378
02:05:17.960 --> 02:05:21.039
more modern film, one that I feel like hardly anybody saw,
2379
02:05:21.079 --> 02:05:22.760
even though it was released in a pretty good version.
2380
02:05:22.800 --> 02:05:26.680
Here from Arrow. This is twenty twenty two's The Leech
2381
02:05:26.840 --> 02:05:30.039
starring Graham Skipper. Graham is a friend of a friend.
2382
02:05:30.359 --> 02:05:32.720
He is in a bunch of modern horror films. He's
2383
02:05:32.720 --> 02:05:34.439
friends with Joe Vegas. He's been in a couple of
2384
02:05:34.439 --> 02:05:37.039
his he was in the musical version of Reanimator. He
2385
02:05:37.079 --> 02:05:41.159
wrote the the Toho licensed book on Godzilla, and he's
2386
02:05:41.159 --> 02:05:43.319
about to do a new version, updated version of that
2387
02:05:43.439 --> 02:05:45.760
this year. So yeah, lots of cool stuff from Graham.
2388
02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:47.840
But The Leech if you've never seen or heard of this.
2389
02:05:48.399 --> 02:05:51.319
Graham plays a preacher who takes in a homeless guy
2390
02:05:51.479 --> 02:05:54.319
who is struggling, can't find a job, has a lot
2391
02:05:54.319 --> 02:05:58.199
of personal things going on. He allows him to stay
2392
02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:01.920
in like the priest home that he uses for his church,
2393
02:06:02.359 --> 02:06:07.880
and unfortunately the guy is not really the church house
2394
02:06:08.079 --> 02:06:11.439
staying type and so things start to go pretty poor.
2395
02:06:12.039 --> 02:06:15.319
He also allows a woman half to stay there with him,
2396
02:06:15.479 --> 02:06:20.039
and unfortunately the pastor starts to get quite will say,
2397
02:06:20.039 --> 02:06:23.439
tested in his faith, and it starts to unravel in
2398
02:06:23.439 --> 02:06:26.000
this really weird, like almost surreal way. There's a lot
2399
02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:29.800
of really great scenes where you don't fully understand what's
2400
02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:33.960
happening until like the ramifications of it are revealed. And
2401
02:06:34.039 --> 02:06:37.560
it's a really fun kind of like psychological thriller with
2402
02:06:37.880 --> 02:06:41.159
a lot of great horror elements. It's a fun movie,
2403
02:06:41.920 --> 02:06:47.479
very clearly Christmas Christmas imagery everywhere, Lots of snow shot well,
2404
02:06:47.720 --> 02:06:52.680
and it will leave you feeling kind of tired after.
2405
02:06:53.000 --> 02:06:55.680
It is certainly worth the watch, probably on sale and
2406
02:06:55.720 --> 02:06:57.800
every Arrow sale because I feel like nobody bought it,
2407
02:06:58.159 --> 02:07:00.600
but the disc is great, lots of good extras. The
2408
02:07:00.600 --> 02:07:04.039
picture looks incredible. Check out the leach. It's a good movie.
2409
02:07:04.680 --> 02:07:06.560
That's yeah. I had not heard of that one, but
2410
02:07:06.640 --> 02:07:09.880
I able to check it out again, like even even
2411
02:07:09.920 --> 02:07:12.600
from being from Arrow and I haven't seen it, so yeah,
2412
02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:18.319
that is definitely flying under Ratos. Thank you happily. Let's see, well,
2413
02:07:18.640 --> 02:07:22.359
I am going to grab one. I'm afraid might be
2414
02:07:22.359 --> 02:07:24.520
out of print or just available in certain places. It
2415
02:07:24.600 --> 02:07:28.000
was available for sale for a song like an incredibly
2416
02:07:28.039 --> 02:07:32.000
low amount and for several different sales because it was
2417
02:07:32.079 --> 02:07:35.880
one of the titles that Fund said he had both
2418
02:07:36.119 --> 02:07:38.880
with Vinegar Syndrome when they were there and with mv
2419
02:07:39.319 --> 02:07:43.000
M v D. Maybe it's available somewhere, but it's like
2420
02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:45.680
ten bucks, and it's like several sales but more vern
2421
02:07:45.960 --> 02:07:50.359
Caller again, I'm probably butchering her, butchering her name, but
2422
02:07:51.560 --> 02:07:56.840
it is a grim, grim Christmas sale that a tale
2423
02:07:56.840 --> 02:08:03.520
that opens at Christmas time. That's incredible, incredible film, Samantha
2424
02:08:03.560 --> 02:08:08.039
Martin's amazing, And it's but the premise and I can't
2425
02:08:08.039 --> 02:08:10.760
say too much because it's a movie you're just sort
2426
02:08:10.800 --> 02:08:13.520
of watching how things play out. It's not plot heavy,
2427
02:08:13.560 --> 02:08:17.359
but it's so much about just the tone and the characters.
2428
02:08:17.399 --> 02:08:22.920
But she someone comes home and it's Christmas Day and
2429
02:08:22.960 --> 02:08:27.680
she finds her boyfriend is deceased by his own doing,
2430
02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:35.039
and it's just an unforgettable image with there's there's blood,
2431
02:08:35.079 --> 02:08:38.239
but the blinking twinkling Christmas lights here and it's a
2432
02:08:38.319 --> 02:08:42.000
very slow burned at the beginning. But she finds he
2433
02:08:42.039 --> 02:08:45.520
had left a document open on his computer and it
2434
02:08:45.560 --> 02:08:48.960
was a novel he wrote. And what she does really
2435
02:08:49.000 --> 02:08:52.760
to start the film is goes about her life to
2436
02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:55.159
kind of like doesn't talk about him dying, just says
2437
02:08:55.199 --> 02:08:59.000
he left. But she erases his name from the manuscript
2438
02:08:59.079 --> 02:09:02.119
and submits it publication around he'd left it for her
2439
02:09:02.239 --> 02:09:06.039
to submit for him as like a posthumous piece, and
2440
02:09:06.319 --> 02:09:10.199
the movie just follows how she reacts in what she
2441
02:09:10.319 --> 02:09:16.159
does afterwards. And it's a movie that never it doesn't
2442
02:09:16.199 --> 02:09:21.439
explain itself at all, which is incredible. It's something there
2443
02:09:21.439 --> 02:09:23.640
are many films that do this, but this does it
2444
02:09:23.680 --> 02:09:27.359
incredibly well where every time I watch it, I notice
2445
02:09:27.520 --> 02:09:31.359
something different and I kind of interpret her actions in
2446
02:09:31.399 --> 02:09:34.760
different ways and her motives in different ways, and it's
2447
02:09:35.000 --> 02:09:40.600
just it's a very grim Christmas film and it's probably
2448
02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:46.680
not something. Sure, it's different than anything else I'm gonna
2449
02:09:46.760 --> 02:09:49.279
that would be in this box, but it's just also
2450
02:09:49.319 --> 02:09:51.239
an incredible movie. And this is actually the movie that
2451
02:09:52.640 --> 02:09:59.000
I'm a unashamed fanboy with Fun City additions. Jonathan's picks
2452
02:09:59.079 --> 02:10:04.000
there are just like just just the movies that he's getting,
2453
02:10:04.039 --> 02:10:07.840
they're so varied. You can have the puts out this
2454
02:10:08.279 --> 02:10:15.520
that puts out oh gosh, like Paradise a Blue Lagoon knockoff,
2455
02:10:15.520 --> 02:10:18.560
and I love that about about what he's doing. And
2456
02:10:19.039 --> 02:10:20.279
but this is one. This was a movie that I
2457
02:10:20.279 --> 02:10:22.720
had on DVD and it was like, you know, everyone
2458
02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:24.279
keeps in those of their head to like movies you
2459
02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:28.960
want to see get upgraded, and it was a movie
2460
02:10:29.000 --> 02:10:31.079
that this movie came out from there that I did
2461
02:10:31.119 --> 02:10:34.279
not expect, and it's got cool stuff on Chris. Chris
2462
02:10:34.319 --> 02:10:37.000
O'Neill does some work for this, which is just fantastic,
2463
02:10:37.399 --> 02:10:38.640
But it was one of these things where it's like,
2464
02:10:39.159 --> 02:10:41.720
here's a newish label that I'm really really like and
2465
02:10:41.760 --> 02:10:43.920
really really like interested in. Of all of a sudden,
2466
02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:46.039
as a surprise, they put out one of the movies
2467
02:10:46.079 --> 02:10:49.159
I most wanted to see on Blu Ray. So I
2468
02:10:49.199 --> 02:10:55.560
am a I am a very very dedicated follower afterwards thanks.
2469
02:10:55.359 --> 02:10:59.720
To this amazing Yeah, it's a great choice. I had
2470
02:10:59.760 --> 02:11:03.399
one that was probably about as dark as that that
2471
02:11:03.439 --> 02:11:05.279
I was going to talk about, so I will instead
2472
02:11:05.399 --> 02:11:07.840
change to something different. But man, if you've never seen
2473
02:11:07.840 --> 02:11:11.840
more Verne Klar, it is quite good, really well directed.
2474
02:11:11.880 --> 02:11:16.039
This is Lynn Ramsey, Who's I mean, after seeing Die
2475
02:11:16.119 --> 02:11:19.560
My Love this year that she just put out. She's
2476
02:11:19.560 --> 02:11:21.199
one of those directors that every time I watch one
2477
02:11:21.199 --> 02:11:23.119
of her movies, I kind of want to watch them
2478
02:11:23.159 --> 02:11:26.000
all again, But then I also don't want to do
2479
02:11:26.039 --> 02:11:28.439
that because I will probably want to kill myself and
2480
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:32.359
I don't want to feel that way. But also it's
2481
02:11:32.439 --> 02:11:36.479
so enjoyable to feel that juxtaposition. I mean, movies are always,
2482
02:11:37.279 --> 02:11:39.560
you know, entertaining to me, but there's something about her
2483
02:11:39.600 --> 02:11:43.079
films that just feel special and lasting and kind of heavy.
2484
02:11:43.199 --> 02:11:45.720
After a while, and not heavy and like oh, these
2485
02:11:45.720 --> 02:11:48.119
are deep sort of feeling, but as in like no,
2486
02:11:48.199 --> 02:11:50.680
they will literally weigh on you for like the next
2487
02:11:50.760 --> 02:11:52.960
four or five days, and you'll just do nothing but
2488
02:11:53.119 --> 02:11:58.960
dwell on those feelings. I love the choice. Severin has
2489
02:11:59.000 --> 02:12:03.640
put out a small amount of Christmas movies, and I
2490
02:12:03.640 --> 02:12:05.119
feel like this might be the first one that we
2491
02:12:05.159 --> 02:12:09.239
could theoretically cross over with so far, but I had
2492
02:12:09.239 --> 02:12:12.159
to talk about one of their first four KUHD releases,
2493
02:12:12.720 --> 02:12:15.520
and I love this movie. It is nineteen ninety five's
2494
02:12:16.119 --> 02:12:18.760
Day of the Beast. This is directed by Alex de
2495
02:12:18.880 --> 02:12:23.560
la Galacia. This is a Spanish film about an individual
2496
02:12:23.600 --> 02:12:27.000
that has to go to a metal record store to
2497
02:12:27.159 --> 02:12:32.279
try to solve the small problem of summoning Satan on
2498
02:12:32.479 --> 02:12:38.680
Christmas Eve to stop the apocalypse from happening. And this
2499
02:12:38.800 --> 02:12:43.079
movie is hilarious. It's dark, it is genuinely creepy in
2500
02:12:43.119 --> 02:12:49.359
a couple scenes. But dayla Glacia is such a unique
2501
02:12:49.439 --> 02:12:52.800
filmmaker and if you've seen like Perdita Durango, you know
2502
02:12:53.119 --> 02:12:56.840
exactly what that means, because he is somebody that will
2503
02:12:56.840 --> 02:13:00.560
not shy away from like making the corny this joke
2504
02:13:00.760 --> 02:13:04.680
followed by like the most subversively shot scene that you've
2505
02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:08.159
imagined in the last ninety days. But yeah, it's a
2506
02:13:08.159 --> 02:13:11.439
great movie. I think it was their second or third
2507
02:13:11.479 --> 02:13:13.760
four K that they ever put out. It's a really
2508
02:13:13.760 --> 02:13:16.439
solid disc. The extras are great. There is a feature long,
2509
02:13:16.640 --> 02:13:19.159
feature length making of documentary on this that is very
2510
02:13:19.279 --> 02:13:22.119
very good. They also put out Pretty to Durango on
2511
02:13:22.119 --> 02:13:26.039
four K, solid pickups. Check both of them out. It's
2512
02:13:26.079 --> 02:13:28.760
not one that it really gets marketed as a Christmas movie,
2513
02:13:28.760 --> 02:13:32.359
but it very much is a Christmas movie. It is hilarious.
2514
02:13:33.199 --> 02:13:35.720
Don't go into it like expecting a full blown horror movie,
2515
02:13:36.039 --> 02:13:38.159
but it is quite good. Check out The Day of
2516
02:13:38.199 --> 02:13:38.560
the Beast.
2517
02:13:38.640 --> 02:13:42.119
All right, all right, I will, I will. That's awesome, awesome,
2518
02:13:43.560 --> 02:13:48.640
all right. Next up is well I'm oh boy, my
2519
02:13:48.960 --> 02:13:52.439
stack is still larger than I expected, but just coming
2520
02:13:52.439 --> 02:13:58.079
out of I know, I know, But all right, because
2521
02:13:58.119 --> 02:14:02.600
I have we haven't talked about and many criterions tonight, Yeah,
2522
02:14:02.760 --> 02:14:04.199
I'm going to talk to you this again. I just
2523
02:14:04.279 --> 02:14:07.680
talked about one of my all time favorite films with
2524
02:14:08.479 --> 02:14:11.680
Morvern Callar. This is another one that happens to be
2525
02:14:13.119 --> 02:14:16.840
Christmas well, like a lot of Christmas in it. Christmas sets,
2526
02:14:17.399 --> 02:14:20.760
but from Criterion it's not eyes white shut, it is
2527
02:14:21.279 --> 02:14:22.479
all that Heaven allows.
2528
02:14:23.760 --> 02:14:27.159
I've still not seen this, so I.
2529
02:14:26.560 --> 02:14:30.359
Douglas Sirk is another one of my favorite filmmakers who
2530
02:14:30.359 --> 02:14:34.119
couldn't be further from the canon realm. But yeah, I
2531
02:14:34.199 --> 02:14:37.439
mentioned earlier my best birthday was doing a Douglas Sirk
2532
02:14:37.479 --> 02:14:39.880
marathon at the Film Forum, playing hockey and going to that.
2533
02:14:39.960 --> 02:14:44.640
But this is one of my ones that befour k
2534
02:14:44.680 --> 02:14:47.279
comes out of. I will jump right on it because
2535
02:14:47.319 --> 02:14:50.399
it's just a gorgeous, gorgeous tin of color movie and
2536
02:14:50.600 --> 02:14:54.239
Douglas Circus one of the in my opinion, the made
2537
02:14:54.279 --> 02:14:56.800
some of the prettiest films in the nineteen fifties. But
2538
02:14:56.880 --> 02:14:59.800
this is a movie that if anybody hasn't seen it.
2539
02:15:00.399 --> 02:15:04.960
Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman are the two stars. And
2540
02:15:05.000 --> 02:15:06.880
it's funny because it's supposed to be played as like
2541
02:15:06.920 --> 02:15:10.760
a May December, not quite. But she's a widow, she's
2542
02:15:10.880 --> 02:15:14.520
she's supposed to be an older woman. She's I believe,
2543
02:15:15.119 --> 02:15:17.079
eight years older than Rock Hudson in this movie, and
2544
02:15:17.079 --> 02:15:19.880
she's she's in her late thirties when it was filmed,
2545
02:15:19.920 --> 02:15:24.439
which is hilarious, but she's adult children, and they're always
2546
02:15:24.439 --> 02:15:26.319
going on about like how old she is and how
2547
02:15:26.319 --> 02:15:28.359
she's told to have boyfriends and things like that, and
2548
02:15:28.439 --> 02:15:30.800
how how Rock Hudson is too young for her. But
2549
02:15:30.840 --> 02:15:35.359
he's so she's the society woman, upperclass woman, and that
2550
02:15:35.359 --> 02:15:36.600
probably has a lot to do with it, and it's
2551
02:15:36.600 --> 02:15:39.359
gonna seem sally to us. And Rock Hudson is this
2552
02:15:39.560 --> 02:15:45.000
young younger man who is kind of a I don't
2553
02:15:45.039 --> 02:15:48.039
want to say a beat nick, but a bohemian fellow
2554
02:15:48.479 --> 02:15:51.159
who is just interested in trees. He wants to start
2555
02:15:51.159 --> 02:15:53.920
a tree farm. He's interested, he sells Christmas trees. He
2556
02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:57.199
wants to be an arborist, and he does handyman work
2557
02:15:57.199 --> 02:16:00.600
for and they fall in love. And it's this forbidden
2558
02:16:00.680 --> 02:16:03.560
romance between, you know, a guy in his early thirties
2559
02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:07.319
and a woman in her late thirties. But what's wonderful
2560
02:16:07.720 --> 02:16:10.000
besides it just being a gorgeous movie, a lot of
2561
02:16:10.000 --> 02:16:12.359
it takes place in Christmas trees. I mean, Rock Huts
2562
02:16:12.359 --> 02:16:14.479
has just got flannels and selling Christmas trees through so
2563
02:16:14.560 --> 02:16:19.840
much of the much of the film, but it's got
2564
02:16:19.880 --> 02:16:24.800
some very hilarious subtext Rock rock Huts and you know,
2565
02:16:24.960 --> 02:16:29.640
everyone knows it's closet at this time. But what is
2566
02:16:29.720 --> 02:16:34.120
subtext in this movie? Watching it now is there's nothing
2567
02:16:34.200 --> 02:16:38.559
sub about it. It's just very open innuendo and it
2568
02:16:38.600 --> 02:16:41.760
comes off as kind of it's it's fun to watch
2569
02:16:41.840 --> 02:16:46.079
because there there there are lines where Jane Wyman asked
2570
02:16:46.159 --> 02:16:49.000
rock Huts and if he if she wishes he was
2571
02:16:49.040 --> 02:16:53.280
a if she if he wishes she was a man,
2572
02:16:53.840 --> 02:16:56.879
and he's like yes in a certain way, and he
2573
02:16:56.959 --> 02:16:59.319
talks about how he's not interested in women, he's only
2574
02:16:59.319 --> 02:17:02.280
interested in her like it's it's got some great stuff,
2575
02:17:02.319 --> 02:17:05.959
and watching it now, it's there's no subtext at all,
2576
02:17:06.000 --> 02:17:09.120
and it's it's it's very fun in that way, but
2577
02:17:09.200 --> 02:17:13.319
just a gorgeous film, very short. It's eighty some minutes
2578
02:17:13.520 --> 02:17:18.120
and it's just beautiful. I mean, anybody who's seen Written
2579
02:17:18.120 --> 02:17:20.000
on the Wind with Douglas Sirk also knows like he
2580
02:17:21.040 --> 02:17:25.079
his subtext could be very much on the cover. I
2581
02:17:25.360 --> 02:17:30.479
think of the woman stroking the long phallic building at
2582
02:17:30.479 --> 02:17:34.280
one point in the film, and it's there's nothing hidden there.
2583
02:17:34.319 --> 02:17:37.879
There's there's a lot of boner jokes if I'm I'll
2584
02:17:37.920 --> 02:17:41.479
say that now in this one that are not hidden
2585
02:17:41.520 --> 02:17:44.239
at all to a twenty twenty allience. But at the fifties,
2586
02:17:44.399 --> 02:17:47.799
maybe they didn't see it. I don't know, but wonderful,
2587
02:17:47.920 --> 02:17:51.280
wonderful films, just delightful in a lot of ways.
2588
02:17:52.000 --> 02:17:54.200
I have to see it. I was trying to think
2589
02:17:54.239 --> 02:17:56.440
when you brought up the four K at the beginning,
2590
02:17:56.559 --> 02:17:58.840
are there any Douglas Hirk films on four K yet?
2591
02:17:58.920 --> 02:18:02.600
I was trying not in my collection, so I don't think.
2592
02:18:03.239 --> 02:18:06.399
Yeah, no, I guess we're due for a four K
2593
02:18:06.520 --> 02:18:07.760
box set come on Criterion.
2594
02:18:08.079 --> 02:18:10.600
Yeah, well, I know, because even Written on the Wind
2595
02:18:10.680 --> 02:18:13.159
got the very very late. I felt like that came
2596
02:18:13.200 --> 02:18:16.440
to Blu ray very late. I was waiting forever for
2597
02:18:16.440 --> 02:18:18.479
the DVD to get upgrade into a blue ray. So
2598
02:18:19.200 --> 02:18:21.680
maybe it, I don't know. Maybe it's further down the
2599
02:18:21.680 --> 02:18:26.639
schedule because that hopefully Wunger's crossed, because they'd be a
2600
02:18:26.680 --> 02:18:30.360
beautiful film to have them. Just the colors are incredible.
2601
02:18:30.360 --> 02:18:34.040
It's one of the just mind blowing Titanic color films.
2602
02:18:34.360 --> 02:18:36.799
Yeah, undoubtedly would silwell too, I mean, with with his
2603
02:18:36.920 --> 02:18:40.559
name come on, all right, So I've got a couple
2604
02:18:40.600 --> 02:18:43.200
obvious choices and one that's a little more under the radar,
2605
02:18:43.280 --> 02:18:45.360
so I'll flash up the obvious choices as part of
2606
02:18:45.360 --> 02:18:48.120
the honorable mentions after So the Under the Radar one.
2607
02:18:48.559 --> 02:18:51.479
This is another release from Second Site. This is a
2608
02:18:51.600 --> 02:18:54.479
very modern movie again, kind of like Tangerine that I
2609
02:18:54.520 --> 02:18:56.680
was talking about. In fact, it's even later than Tangerine.
2610
02:18:56.840 --> 02:19:01.319
I think it's a twenty seventeen film. I'm having trouble
2611
02:19:01.360 --> 02:19:03.559
finding the year, so I'll just say that and probably
2612
02:19:03.559 --> 02:19:07.000
be wrong. Please correct me in the chat. But this
2613
02:19:07.239 --> 02:19:09.600
is unlike anything else that we've talked about tonight, so
2614
02:19:10.239 --> 02:19:11.879
I wanted to shine a light on this one because
2615
02:19:11.920 --> 02:19:16.360
so few have seen this yet. It is the incredibly unique,
2616
02:19:16.879 --> 02:19:22.360
very funny, the Amazing Anna and the Apocalypse. This is
2617
02:19:22.520 --> 02:19:27.239
a modern zombie horror comedy musical that is a lot
2618
02:19:27.239 --> 02:19:31.239
of adjectives, and yet they're all accurate. This is such
2619
02:19:31.360 --> 02:19:34.200
a well made fun movie. The songs in this are
2620
02:19:34.239 --> 02:19:36.079
actually good. I know a lot of people get scared
2621
02:19:36.120 --> 02:19:38.840
at the word musical. It is actually good. Like the
2622
02:19:38.920 --> 02:19:43.040
songs are funny, they're well performed, they work. There's actual
2623
02:19:43.120 --> 02:19:46.639
singing and dancing done in a reverential way. It is
2624
02:19:46.840 --> 02:19:50.319
really great. I will say the Second Site Limited Edition,
2625
02:19:50.360 --> 02:19:53.520
which is long like difficult to find now had a
2626
02:19:53.520 --> 02:19:56.200
booklet on the inside with lyrics to all of the songs,
2627
02:19:56.479 --> 02:20:00.239
which is really great. The release here also had as
2628
02:20:01.319 --> 02:20:04.799
I believe maybe not so it's a Blu ray disc
2629
02:20:04.879 --> 02:20:07.639
and it is uh. It is completely region free, so
2630
02:20:07.639 --> 02:20:09.639
if you're after this one, you can check this out.
2631
02:20:09.920 --> 02:20:12.159
It's got two discs. It's got a theatrical cut and
2632
02:20:12.200 --> 02:20:16.200
the extanded extended cut. This movie is genuinely funny, very
2633
02:20:16.600 --> 02:20:18.920
very Christmas themed, as you can see, like there's no
2634
02:20:19.040 --> 02:20:22.840
doubt that everything about this is Christmas. There is this
2635
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:25.840
small town at Christmas where these zombies are attacking them.
2636
02:20:26.000 --> 02:20:29.520
It is funny, it is not really scary, but there's
2637
02:20:29.559 --> 02:20:32.040
a lot of actual horror elements. The makeup is very
2638
02:20:32.040 --> 02:20:35.760
good in this, like it's actual gore makeup. And again,
2639
02:20:35.920 --> 02:20:37.399
like hardly everybody has seen this. I think it was
2640
02:20:37.399 --> 02:20:40.440
on Shutter before, not sure if it still is. See
2641
02:20:40.479 --> 02:20:43.120
Anity Apocalypse because you will fall in love with the music.
2642
02:20:43.239 --> 02:20:44.239
It is so good.
2643
02:20:46.079 --> 02:20:48.520
That's a fun one. That's that that came out right
2644
02:20:48.559 --> 02:20:50.840
at the time, at the end of my time in
2645
02:20:50.840 --> 02:20:53.319
New York, and I remember going to see it, and
2646
02:20:53.360 --> 02:20:55.159
so I was one of the I played down in
2647
02:20:55.159 --> 02:20:56.159
the village, which is cool.
2648
02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:00.040
I would love to see that in a theater. I
2649
02:21:00.120 --> 02:21:01.200
never get a chance for that one.
2650
02:21:02.440 --> 02:21:04.520
Do we want to go just rapid fire through they
2651
02:21:05.600 --> 02:21:07.360
because I'm excited to see if you've still got some
2652
02:21:07.440 --> 02:21:09.920
in your stack there. Some of these are less less obvious.
2653
02:21:09.959 --> 02:21:11.520
One I didn't want to double dip on a label,
2654
02:21:11.920 --> 02:21:15.239
but Canadian National and other Tales from UH Tales for
2655
02:21:15.319 --> 02:21:19.239
All was The Dog Who Stopped the War. It's just
2656
02:21:19.239 --> 02:21:24.000
about a giant snowball fight during Christmas time. It's if
2657
02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:26.959
you read Calvin and Hobbes there there there are there's
2658
02:21:26.959 --> 02:21:29.719
beautiful strips where it's just Calvin and Hobbs like playing
2659
02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:32.719
in the snow and it just this wonderfully winter landscape.
2660
02:21:33.159 --> 02:21:36.159
This movie feels like one of those like Sunday strips
2661
02:21:36.200 --> 02:21:39.079
come to life because it's just kids getting this like
2662
02:21:39.159 --> 02:21:43.319
incredibly like increasingly like heated snowball fight and just a
2663
02:21:43.479 --> 02:21:48.000
fun fun film. Another little Christmas banger from Canadian National.
2664
02:21:48.600 --> 02:21:51.239
It was like a lot of their movies contain like
2665
02:21:52.159 --> 02:21:55.200
some sort of a snowmobile chase. So there's a lot
2666
02:21:55.200 --> 02:21:57.120
of snowy movies that they've done.
2667
02:21:57.719 --> 02:21:59.520
It's hard not to in Canada.
2668
02:21:59.639 --> 02:22:01.319
Yeah, Yeah.
2669
02:22:01.360 --> 02:22:04.959
My next one really obvious pick was Rare Exports Oscillo's
2670
02:22:04.959 --> 02:22:07.319
scope of this out great movie. It is a like
2671
02:22:07.440 --> 02:22:10.639
new Christmas classic. Most people have seen this one. Genuinely
2672
02:22:10.680 --> 02:22:13.000
creepy actually in quite a lot of scenes like pretty
2673
02:22:13.000 --> 02:22:15.760
good Christmas horror. Check it out. It's still in print.
2674
02:22:15.840 --> 02:22:18.280
You can get that Amazon for like twelve bucks. It's
2675
02:22:18.319 --> 02:22:20.879
a really great movie. Get the Blue rays so worth it.
2676
02:22:21.680 --> 02:22:26.399
Here's my obvious, very obvious peck, but also shameless self promotion.
2677
02:22:26.559 --> 02:22:30.280
But in Asian USA on four K Chuck Norris saving
2678
02:22:30.280 --> 02:22:33.000
in the United States from an international band of terrorists
2679
02:22:33.040 --> 02:22:36.079
led by Richard Lynch at Christmas time. It is a
2680
02:22:36.200 --> 02:22:38.360
very fun movie and one that I was proud to
2681
02:22:38.360 --> 02:22:40.920
be involved with in many many ways. It's just a great,
2682
02:22:41.079 --> 02:22:42.920
great set that they put together.
2683
02:22:44.159 --> 02:22:48.000
I will match your vinegar syndrome theme at the moment
2684
02:22:48.120 --> 02:22:51.799
and shout out Christmas Evil, which I think is my
2685
02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:55.120
favorite of the Killer Santa Claus movies. Not a big
2686
02:22:55.159 --> 02:22:57.799
fan of like Silent Night, Deadly Night, but this one
2687
02:22:57.920 --> 02:23:01.120
is like, actually, I don't know, I don't I don't
2688
02:23:01.120 --> 02:23:03.719
really want to say sleazy, because it's not like I
2689
02:23:03.719 --> 02:23:06.000
don't know, It's not like an erotic thriller, but it
2690
02:23:06.520 --> 02:23:09.280
does feel good like grimy, I guess is a better
2691
02:23:09.319 --> 02:23:12.399
word choice. Like it actually feels kind of dangerous to watch,
2692
02:23:12.520 --> 02:23:15.559
like it's like a home video type of movie. The
2693
02:23:15.600 --> 02:23:18.120
acting in this is surprisingly good. This is a genuinely
2694
02:23:18.159 --> 02:23:21.440
creepy movie and it's basically just a guy that's fed
2695
02:23:21.520 --> 02:23:25.520
up and it's creepy as shit. Christmas Evil is so
2696
02:23:25.719 --> 02:23:28.959
much better than all the other Heller Santa Claus movies.
2697
02:23:29.159 --> 02:23:32.159
I think it's better acted, the story's better, it's believable,
2698
02:23:32.280 --> 02:23:35.479
which most of those other ones are a complete farce.
2699
02:23:35.600 --> 02:23:39.440
Of course, this one is very good. Check out Yeah.
2700
02:23:38.920 --> 02:23:42.440
That One of my favorite reason movie going experience was
2701
02:23:42.440 --> 02:23:44.399
a double feature. I've got the poster up here, but
2702
02:23:44.440 --> 02:23:46.959
it was Christmas Evil and New Year's Evil down at
2703
02:23:46.959 --> 02:23:50.719
the Seymour the stranditsmar Connecticut, and it came it happened
2704
02:23:50.760 --> 02:23:52.200
to be like as there was like a snow, like
2705
02:23:52.200 --> 02:23:54.840
a snowstorm going on outside. So there's a bunch of
2706
02:23:54.879 --> 02:23:57.079
people in a crowdit theater watching those two movies together
2707
02:23:57.159 --> 02:23:58.360
and not sure if they're going to be able to
2708
02:23:58.360 --> 02:24:01.760
get their cars out there parts. That's a that's a
2709
02:24:01.799 --> 02:24:05.559
great pick. This one I'm gonna hold up a very
2710
02:24:05.600 --> 02:24:08.840
old copy because it's part of a box set. But
2711
02:24:09.680 --> 02:24:13.920
screen Shout Factory has the Peewee's Playoffs Blu ray set,
2712
02:24:13.920 --> 02:24:15.840
which you have to get now. But one of my
2713
02:24:15.879 --> 02:24:19.159
favorite all time holiday specials is the Pee Wee's Playoffs
2714
02:24:19.200 --> 02:24:21.079
Holiday Special. This is not their release. This is the
2715
02:24:21.120 --> 02:24:24.639
standalone DVD release because I can't have enough copies of
2716
02:24:25.120 --> 02:24:29.319
this in my house. But yeah, it's just a fun
2717
02:24:29.440 --> 02:24:32.639
Christmas and pee Wee's Playhouse. He gets visited by Grace
2718
02:24:32.719 --> 02:24:36.079
Jones and Katie Lang and you know, it's got so
2719
02:24:36.079 --> 02:24:38.680
many celebrities, Magic Johnson, he gets to write in magic
2720
02:24:38.719 --> 02:24:43.920
screen with Magic Johnson. It's not Christmas in my house
2721
02:24:44.000 --> 02:24:47.159
until Grace Jones has serenaded pee Wee Herman with the
2722
02:24:47.159 --> 02:24:52.239
Little Drummer Boy. So that's this just a staple. Uh.
2723
02:24:52.479 --> 02:24:54.000
I think the next one I'm going to talk about
2724
02:24:54.000 --> 02:24:58.200
could not be more different than Christmas Special. So the
2725
02:24:58.239 --> 02:24:59.639
other one that was dark that I was going to
2726
02:24:59.639 --> 02:25:04.280
talk about Second Sight's release of Inside, the new French
2727
02:25:04.280 --> 02:25:08.719
extremity film about a woman who is pregnant, and not
2728
02:25:08.840 --> 02:25:11.639
just pregnant, but like literally about to give birth. Like
2729
02:25:11.680 --> 02:25:14.319
in the next twenty four hours. She is at her
2730
02:25:14.360 --> 02:25:18.159
home and something happens and a woman shows up and
2731
02:25:18.399 --> 02:25:22.280
starts to attack her, literally to try to snatch her
2732
02:25:22.319 --> 02:25:26.159
baby out of her body. It is a bloody frickin' movie.
2733
02:25:26.760 --> 02:25:30.559
It's got let's see what do I not want to
2734
02:25:30.600 --> 02:25:35.040
spoil here, It's got a scene that you will feel
2735
02:25:35.120 --> 02:25:39.479
so betrayed in watching that hits harder than almost any
2736
02:25:39.520 --> 02:25:42.040
other emotional moments. I think it's one of the better
2737
02:25:42.079 --> 02:25:44.760
of the new French extremity films. It is also like
2738
02:25:45.120 --> 02:25:47.840
the most contained of the new French extremity films. A
2739
02:25:47.879 --> 02:25:51.920
lot of those films started from like deep political contempt
2740
02:25:52.319 --> 02:25:57.680
and this one is more like like isolation fear. And
2741
02:25:57.719 --> 02:26:01.479
it's literally one person unable to escape, one person is
2742
02:26:01.520 --> 02:26:04.920
after them, and they have no way of saving themselves.
2743
02:26:04.959 --> 02:26:08.760
And it is terrifying, bloody beyond belief. And it's a
2744
02:26:08.799 --> 02:26:12.639
hard watch. So right after morevern Kolar, Yeah, probably not
2745
02:26:12.639 --> 02:26:15.239
the best one to talk about, but it is a
2746
02:26:15.280 --> 02:26:18.200
really solid watch. And it literally happens on Christmas Eve,
2747
02:26:18.280 --> 02:26:21.120
like it is the definition of an off the beaten
2748
02:26:21.120 --> 02:26:24.799
path Christmas film. So worth it inside is amazing.
2749
02:26:26.360 --> 02:26:30.239
My last my last one here is an incredibly obvious,
2750
02:26:30.280 --> 02:26:33.079
so like we're going offbeat. This is not offbeat at all.
2751
02:26:33.159 --> 02:26:35.520
This is like one of the top three movies that
2752
02:26:35.520 --> 02:26:38.520
people will watch at Christmas. But it's one that I
2753
02:26:38.559 --> 02:26:41.280
would say is one of my favorite four K upgrades
2754
02:26:41.879 --> 02:26:45.719
in my collection unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, it's one that I also
2755
02:26:45.760 --> 02:26:47.559
think a lot of people might think that, like, why
2756
02:26:47.600 --> 02:26:50.040
would I get that on four cray my whatever edition?
2757
02:26:50.079 --> 02:26:52.040
Wherever I have this, I probably have five other copies
2758
02:26:52.040 --> 02:26:54.360
of this. It's okay, but you want the four K
2759
02:26:54.479 --> 02:26:56.479
of this and it's part I have it as part
2760
02:26:56.479 --> 02:26:58.159
of the set. It's also available solo, but it's the
2761
02:26:58.239 --> 02:27:04.600
Rudolph the right Oh yeah on four K. What they've
2762
02:27:04.600 --> 02:27:06.319
done with this is you can see the texture of
2763
02:27:06.360 --> 02:27:08.559
the puppets and if it's a movie, like if that's
2764
02:27:08.559 --> 02:27:10.120
something that you grew up, I think most of us,
2765
02:27:10.520 --> 02:27:13.040
if we've protecn probably specials. We saw this every year
2766
02:27:13.239 --> 02:27:16.239
as a kid, Like I remember being distraught one year
2767
02:27:16.239 --> 02:27:20.399
when our elementary school chorus concert was on the same
2768
02:27:20.479 --> 02:27:22.239
night that Rudolf was on, and that was like if
2769
02:27:22.239 --> 02:27:24.079
you missed a Christmas special back in the days, you
2770
02:27:24.120 --> 02:27:26.959
did not see it until the following year. You, and
2771
02:27:27.040 --> 02:27:29.559
like I remember the whole school was miserable because everybody
2772
02:27:29.639 --> 02:27:31.879
was just we're missing Rudolph because we have to go
2773
02:27:31.959 --> 02:27:37.079
sing for our parents everybody. But this is just like that.
2774
02:27:37.559 --> 02:27:40.360
It's the most textile, like feel like you can touch
2775
02:27:40.479 --> 02:27:43.479
the puppets, you can see like where the glue is
2776
02:27:43.520 --> 02:27:48.319
falling apart on them. It is just a movie again,
2777
02:27:48.360 --> 02:27:53.000
It's like it's a sixty some year old, you know,
2778
02:27:53.360 --> 02:27:56.959
puppet film. That's not the first thing I would have
2779
02:27:57.000 --> 02:28:00.360
ever thought would I would just love so much on
2780
02:28:00.399 --> 02:28:04.360
four K. But this is one that, like, out of
2781
02:28:04.399 --> 02:28:06.719
all the upgrades, all these amazing things, I'm like excited
2782
02:28:06.719 --> 02:28:08.799
to watch berry Land and I talked about I just
2783
02:28:08.840 --> 02:28:10.600
bought in the sale and I'm like, I know that's
2784
02:28:10.600 --> 02:28:12.280
going to be a movie that's just one of the
2785
02:28:12.280 --> 02:28:14.200
most gorgeous movies ever made. And like I'm excited to
2786
02:28:14.239 --> 02:28:18.079
see on four K, but I don't know if like
2787
02:28:18.239 --> 02:28:22.559
the Jump will impress me anywhere near as much as Yeah, Revolved.
2788
02:28:23.799 --> 02:28:26.319
And it's just amazing because it's a movie that is
2789
02:28:26.440 --> 02:28:30.959
just I know so well from my earliest days of
2790
02:28:31.000 --> 02:28:35.040
watching you know, terrible TV broadcasts of it, and just
2791
02:28:35.079 --> 02:28:39.120
to be able to like see and feel and like
2792
02:28:39.200 --> 02:28:42.280
touch and see how soft textured and see like Santa's
2793
02:28:42.280 --> 02:28:45.559
beard peeling, and like certain scenes, and you can appreciate stuff.
2794
02:28:45.559 --> 02:28:48.639
You can appreciate how handmade this movie is, which is awesome,
2795
02:28:49.680 --> 02:28:50.559
so not obscure at all.
2796
02:28:50.600 --> 02:28:54.399
But it's not like to harp on, like the visual
2797
02:28:54.440 --> 02:28:56.520
quality of the physical media on it is important. So
2798
02:28:56.559 --> 02:28:59.479
I like that the ringing the best stuff is just
2799
02:28:59.520 --> 02:29:04.200
stupid great, great, great pick. This has been fun, like
2800
02:29:04.319 --> 02:29:08.360
lots of really solid recommendations, top notch choices and literally
2801
02:29:08.440 --> 02:29:11.639
no overlap the stuff that we pulled, no overlap between us.
2802
02:29:11.799 --> 02:29:15.719
Amazing, awesome. Yeah, oh this was, this was, Yeah, this
2803
02:29:15.840 --> 02:29:18.040
got This one is even better than I could have imagine.
2804
02:29:18.040 --> 02:29:20.959
This is so fun, well exclusively right now. When is
2805
02:29:21.000 --> 02:29:22.719
part three of the book series coming out Austin.
2806
02:29:22.799 --> 02:29:26.920
I'm sure it'll come out when it comes out. I
2807
02:29:26.920 --> 02:29:30.520
wish I could answer that. I am no, it's it's yeah,
2808
02:29:30.559 --> 02:29:33.159
like I said, it's it's tougher with the research in it,
2809
02:29:33.719 --> 02:29:36.559
and it's going a little slart just because my children
2810
02:29:36.600 --> 02:29:39.559
aren't like in a Larval phase. Still, I read a
2811
02:29:39.600 --> 02:29:41.000
lot of the first one, well, at least one of
2812
02:29:41.000 --> 02:29:45.000
my children was you know, did could roll places or
2813
02:29:45.159 --> 02:29:49.200
bellies like crawl places at best. This one now I'm
2814
02:29:49.239 --> 02:29:51.600
like taking them to after school stuff all the time.
2815
02:29:51.639 --> 02:29:55.879
But that's nice. It's what's nice about the physical media
2816
02:29:55.920 --> 02:29:58.559
work that I've gotten as well. Those checks have gone
2817
02:29:58.559 --> 02:30:02.799
to like each essay has paid for like summer camps
2818
02:30:02.840 --> 02:30:07.360
and things like that. So it's like, so I don't
2819
02:30:07.360 --> 02:30:10.360
feel as bad about doing the Blue Ray essays. That
2820
02:30:10.399 --> 02:30:12.959
has taken me from the books. It's allowing me to also,
2821
02:30:13.360 --> 02:30:15.840
like if I work on that, I can take a
2822
02:30:15.879 --> 02:30:20.719
full week to just dedicate to that. So it's it's
2823
02:30:20.760 --> 02:30:23.639
coming along and I'm very excited with how it's going.
2824
02:30:23.680 --> 02:30:27.360
I don't have a date yet, it's there's still a ways,
2825
02:30:27.559 --> 02:30:29.159
so please please bear with me.
2826
02:30:29.959 --> 02:30:32.040
Obviously I was kidding. I cannot wait to see it.
2827
02:30:32.440 --> 02:30:34.959
I hope people support it when it comes out. Chris
2828
02:30:35.079 --> 02:30:38.040
on Facebook is saying I excited him when I said
2829
02:30:38.120 --> 02:30:40.399
Rare Sports was twelve dollars in Amazon, but it's twenty
2830
02:30:40.399 --> 02:30:42.920
one dollars right now. Just a heads up. When it's
2831
02:30:42.959 --> 02:30:45.760
Christmas time, the demand for that title goes through the roof,
2832
02:30:45.879 --> 02:30:48.280
so they raise the price a little bit if you wait,
2833
02:30:48.360 --> 02:30:50.440
just a little bit it'll come back down. I promise
2834
02:30:50.559 --> 02:30:54.959
it can be a cheaper title for sure. Gary says,
2835
02:30:54.959 --> 02:30:57.079
speaking of Cannon, I watched Barfly again for the first
2836
02:30:57.079 --> 02:31:00.159
time of decades, holds up. The imprint release of barfls
2837
02:31:00.200 --> 02:31:02.760
really good, so good.
2838
02:31:02.879 --> 02:31:05.760
That's one that I was thrilled with, because that's also
2839
02:31:05.760 --> 02:31:09.559
another one that I had. It went from the snapcase DVD,
2840
02:31:09.639 --> 02:31:13.079
which was very expensive blog for a long time to
2841
02:31:13.600 --> 02:31:17.000
that and it's just it's amazing to go from something
2842
02:31:17.040 --> 02:31:20.520
that's like bare bones and barely plays anymore to just
2843
02:31:20.600 --> 02:31:22.520
a just beautiful release.
2844
02:31:22.319 --> 02:31:25.239
Solid release with four hours.
2845
02:31:24.799 --> 02:31:27.440
Of extra incredible people working on it. Yeah, that's a
2846
02:31:28.520 --> 02:31:32.840
and a fantastic film. It's one of the arguably best
2847
02:31:32.959 --> 02:31:33.959
best canon movies.
2848
02:31:34.879 --> 02:31:37.799
Uh yeah, it's it's quite good that thing came out
2849
02:31:37.840 --> 02:31:41.079
and that was the first time I'd ever seen that movie,
2850
02:31:41.200 --> 02:31:44.879
and watching it then I could imagine when I was younger,
2851
02:31:44.879 --> 02:31:47.799
I probably would not have felt the same, but seeing
2852
02:31:47.799 --> 02:31:51.760
it at this age, that movie hits hard, especially somebody
2853
02:31:51.799 --> 02:31:58.440
whose father was a raging alcoholic. Oh Bukowski. Yeah, I
2854
02:31:59.319 --> 02:32:01.559
think a lot of people to watch Barfly that haven't.
2855
02:32:02.520 --> 02:32:07.360
And his Bukski wrote a book that's a thinly veiled
2856
02:32:07.959 --> 02:32:11.600
novel about the making of Barfly, which is very entertaining
2857
02:32:11.600 --> 02:32:15.079
because the names are all just like a few names
2858
02:32:15.159 --> 02:32:19.040
changed and like Cannon and it is Firepower, and it's
2859
02:32:19.239 --> 02:32:23.239
it's not going in clobus, it's it's very similar names.
2860
02:32:23.280 --> 02:32:25.360
But you it's it's funny. He does not hide his
2861
02:32:25.440 --> 02:32:28.760
contempt for everyone he worked with on that film, and
2862
02:32:28.840 --> 02:32:30.799
he doesn't even bother to like change more than a
2863
02:32:30.799 --> 02:32:31.760
few letters in their name.
2864
02:32:33.200 --> 02:32:35.600
Well, I think that's all. We got. Anything that you
2865
02:32:35.639 --> 02:32:38.879
want to promote coming out or coming up or recent
2866
02:32:38.959 --> 02:32:41.360
releases like Mac and Me, perhaps.
2867
02:32:41.120 --> 02:32:45.000
Sure, Yeah, some of the stuff I've been I mean,
2868
02:32:45.040 --> 02:32:46.799
I got to work on some great releases this year
2869
02:32:46.840 --> 02:32:49.680
that I was really excited about. Mac and Me allowed
2870
02:32:49.680 --> 02:32:53.040
me to deep dive into really the history of like
2871
02:32:53.040 --> 02:32:54.760
like product placement in films. I read a lot of
2872
02:32:54.799 --> 02:32:57.680
books about that and went into this and this movie.
2873
02:32:58.280 --> 02:33:03.360
I watch the McDonald's dance number in this one. The
2874
02:33:03.399 --> 02:33:06.159
song is wrong. McDonald's actually like involved in it. Like
2875
02:33:06.399 --> 02:33:08.760
some people have gone through the Subruder film like a
2876
02:33:08.799 --> 02:33:13.159
frame by frame, over and over meticulously, like uh, it
2877
02:33:13.200 --> 02:33:17.040
was again, like it's a film that I watch many
2878
02:33:17.040 --> 02:33:21.600
times as a kid. I saw it with my kids.
2879
02:33:21.639 --> 02:33:23.319
Actually the Moony Drive in when they had the Mystery
2880
02:33:23.319 --> 02:33:25.200
Science Theater event. We saw that version. So it was
2881
02:33:25.200 --> 02:33:27.799
funny because they they had reached out about working on this,
2882
02:33:27.920 --> 02:33:30.000
like right after I had come back from seeing it.
2883
02:33:30.079 --> 02:33:30.719
The driving nice.
2884
02:33:31.200 --> 02:33:33.719
It was so much fun. And so that's the one
2885
02:33:33.719 --> 02:33:35.559
that I was excited about because I did see it
2886
02:33:35.600 --> 02:33:38.440
as a kid. I did not realize the movies as
2887
02:33:38.479 --> 02:33:41.600
bad as it is. I still it's incredibly enjoyable. But
2888
02:33:42.760 --> 02:33:46.120
now the other one is we talked about Garbage Pail Kids,
2889
02:33:46.120 --> 02:33:49.319
which is a movie that one of the early movies
2890
02:33:49.319 --> 02:33:53.559
that I actually realized was like bad as like as
2891
02:33:53.760 --> 02:33:56.000
a young child, I was like, oh my gosh, like
2892
02:33:56.040 --> 02:33:58.799
what is this is? This is a hard watch, but
2893
02:33:58.879 --> 02:34:01.559
it's it's fun and it's I mean, it's got some
2894
02:34:01.600 --> 02:34:04.639
great effects. And for this one, I really got to
2895
02:34:05.520 --> 02:34:09.200
go into I focused on the performers, inside the costumes.
2896
02:34:09.680 --> 02:34:14.079
This was a I mean, throughout Hollywood history, little people
2897
02:34:14.159 --> 02:34:18.680
actors who are little people have had some very thankful,
2898
02:34:18.920 --> 02:34:21.719
thankless jobs, and a lot of the people who worked
2899
02:34:21.760 --> 02:34:24.799
on this movie were also They were e walks, they
2900
02:34:24.840 --> 02:34:27.600
were in Played Runner, they were in all these incredible
2901
02:34:27.600 --> 02:34:29.840
films and their names that you don't really know because
2902
02:34:29.840 --> 02:34:33.920
there are only so many famous little people actors, and
2903
02:34:34.120 --> 02:34:37.920
there's like unsung heroes of some of the best genre
2904
02:34:37.920 --> 02:34:41.840
of movies of the era. And so I really enjoyed
2905
02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:44.719
getting to go into their careers and lives and where
2906
02:34:44.760 --> 02:34:46.360
they came from, how they wound up in Hollywood, how
2907
02:34:46.440 --> 02:34:49.520
they end working in movies. And it's one of them,
2908
02:34:49.639 --> 02:34:54.399
very proud of the other one was just a long dream.
2909
02:34:54.440 --> 02:34:59.079
This was my last release from this year, but it's
2910
02:34:59.239 --> 02:35:05.280
Truma fan as a coming like from Cannon but Sergeant
2911
02:35:05.399 --> 02:35:10.840
Kabuki ban NYPD And I was very grateful because the
2912
02:35:10.840 --> 02:35:15.239
angle they let me take was going through all of
2913
02:35:15.280 --> 02:35:18.920
the this is this is the Lloyd Kaufman's like superhero movie,
2914
02:35:18.959 --> 02:35:26.079
one of the two with Toxic Avenger, and he had
2915
02:35:26.159 --> 02:35:28.840
people know but he was a lifelong friend of stan
2916
02:35:28.920 --> 02:35:34.280
Lee and they worked on so many scripts together. So
2917
02:35:34.319 --> 02:35:36.680
I broke down some of the projects, all the unmade
2918
02:35:36.719 --> 02:35:39.920
projects that Lloyd Kaufman worked on with Stanley over the years,
2919
02:35:39.959 --> 02:35:43.600
which was in the sixties, back when you know Marvel
2920
02:35:43.719 --> 02:35:46.440
was the Marvel that we know today is this big, big,
2921
02:35:46.520 --> 02:35:50.040
huge thing through like the dark times, like the early
2922
02:35:50.159 --> 02:35:54.680
nineties when it's just it's just a fascinating some really
2923
02:35:54.840 --> 02:35:59.520
crazy projects, projects that are something you wouldn't They work
2924
02:35:59.559 --> 02:36:02.920
together on a script called The Man Who Talked to God,
2925
02:36:02.959 --> 02:36:04.959
which was about faith and things like that. You never
2926
02:36:05.000 --> 02:36:08.479
imagine Lloyd Kaufman and Stan Lee working on a script
2927
02:36:09.159 --> 02:36:13.799
about faith together. Those aren't the two names, but it's
2928
02:36:13.879 --> 02:36:18.319
just it was a fun, fun project and just going
2929
02:36:18.319 --> 02:36:20.840
through a lot of archives and finding out information about
2930
02:36:20.840 --> 02:36:24.040
these and funny enough, some of those some of these
2931
02:36:24.040 --> 02:36:26.840
projects were pitched to the pre Go and Globist Cannon,
2932
02:36:27.200 --> 02:36:31.719
the Dewey Friedman Years, which is awesome, or where Lloyd
2933
02:36:32.159 --> 02:36:35.280
got his start working in the New York City film business.
2934
02:36:35.440 --> 02:36:39.120
So again, these are I've loved the opportunity of getting
2935
02:36:39.120 --> 02:36:41.399
to do some of these deep dives into areas that
2936
02:36:42.440 --> 02:36:45.520
I haven't had the opportunities. It's different from the can stuff.
2937
02:36:45.559 --> 02:36:49.559
It's not it's it's similar, it's adjacent, but it's it's
2938
02:36:49.639 --> 02:36:52.079
it's something different, and it's it's been wonderful too because
2939
02:36:52.879 --> 02:36:57.000
it the work like this does help pay to for
2940
02:36:57.159 --> 02:36:59.040
like summer camps and things like that. They give me
2941
02:36:59.200 --> 02:37:01.760
time do the work on the books.
2942
02:37:01.760 --> 02:37:04.879
Excellent. Yeah, everybody needs to check those out and the books,
2943
02:37:05.079 --> 02:37:09.680
especially like if you like any eighty cinema, which I'm
2944
02:37:09.680 --> 02:37:13.719
sure if you're watching this you do there. These are
2945
02:37:13.799 --> 02:37:16.920
imperative to at least be able to browse through and
2946
02:37:18.159 --> 02:37:21.799
glean any sort of information from because they are legendary.
2947
02:37:21.840 --> 02:37:24.399
The amount of the amount of films that are covered
2948
02:37:24.399 --> 02:37:27.239
by Canon is kind of shocking. If you don't know
2949
02:37:27.319 --> 02:37:30.360
the deep dive behind Canon, check it out. Check out
2950
02:37:30.559 --> 02:37:32.600
both of the books, and I can't wait for the third. Austin,
2951
02:37:32.639 --> 02:37:33.840
thanks so much for doing this tonight.
