Speaker 1 (00:01):
You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello there, and welcome back.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
What is this place?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
As connected disconnected? It's connected, disconnected.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm starting to feel disconnected the number that has been disconnected.
Hey there, everybody, Welcome back to another live Thursday Night
Reconnected this week with somebody that I have loved for
quite some time who is a frequent collaborator of mind
that you have probably seen the name multiple times and
(00:44):
maybe not a face tonight, Miss Rachel bel Wore here. Rachel, welcome,
thanks for doing this, Thank.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
You, thank you for having me. It's very great to
be here.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's it's a long time coming. For those that don't
know the name. Rachel writes for They Media advocate literally
every issue. I think since you started, you haven't missed one, right,
I think.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't get like the beginning, but
like as soon as I've learned about it, I've reached out.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And yeah yeah. Rachel's ongoing column is usually a happy
Birthday column, where somebody that is celebrating a birthday that month,
she highlights a release that she wants to see on
physical media from them, one that has a good release
and just talks about the Usually it's a film star.
I think it's a really special approach that kind of
(01:33):
crosses film and physical media into a way that I love.
It's the exact sort of thing I want in the magazine.
So thanks for doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Well, thank you. It's been fun. It was inspired kind
of the first website I ever wrote for a which
unfortunately they no longer exist, but it was called That's
Not Current, and I had a column that was buried credit,
so I would specifically look at pick a favorite actor
and what it is on IMDb that I haven't seen,
or like the one that have really low ratings because
no one's seen it, and I would focus on those
(02:03):
instead of the popular films. Yeah, but it was like
actor based and then that's inspired the first day idea,
and yeah, it's kind of built from there.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, and you know, talking about the first place that
you wrote for. For everybody that is on YouTube check
it out. There is a link of the description to
Rachel's WordPress site with the list of all of these
things that you've contributed to and take us through some
of these where have you written for before so they
can look for you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, the first place was like I said, that's not current,
which my friend I'm Kieran Fisher, who he's a writer
to He was the editor in chief there and also
Flickering Myths gave me a chance. I'm Gary Collinson. I
want to credit then because they were the first ones
that took a chance on me. Now I currently write
for Comic Con. That's the regular place, which has kind
(02:55):
of I'm going to diss the name because it just
confuses people because they always think it's related to San
Diego Comic Con and it's one word. It's co O
M I c O N. It has nothing to do
with that, even though I mean comics is a lot
of the articles, but it's also just pop culture in general.
I focus on either physical media releases usually, so yeah,
(03:18):
it's the name is just general. But it's a great site.
I just only the name I have issues with because
nobody everyone always says, oh, the comic big Comic Con.
It's like, no, nothing to do with that, and yeah,
that's the main place I wrote. I've gotten of course,
the physical Media Advocate I like doing that every month,
and Cinema of the seventies and Cinema the Eighties magazine
(03:41):
they no longer exist too, but they were really cool
for a while. And Radiance let me do one of
their dirty art house magazines. That was like a real
big coup that thanks to cat Ellinger And yeah, those
are the main bylines. But this is my great time.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, first live show, and youre trying to branch out
into podcasts. You just did another podcast recently, lekowski.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Is I got to talk about Jack Clayton, which was
really awesome time. I highly recommend that the Director's podcast,
The Director's Club Podcast. Don't get the name right, but yeah,
that was really awesome. So yeah, it's I'm trying to
I was always nervous to talk, so I've been trying
to get myself to do that now because.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, so hello, the The Director's Club Podcast episode was great,
So don't be afraid we all want to hear more
from Rachel. The other thing, for those that have been
keeping up with the Shelf Shock Rewind Awards, you've been
able to participate in that as well, So thanks for
doing that. Man so much to cover tonight, we got
(04:49):
lots of announcements. I thought that we were gonna have
a sort of down week, and compared to the last
two weeks, it's down, but this week of the month
is usually like forty ish releases. We still have almost seventy,
so we still have a lot to talk about tonight.
But other than that, there is a lot of buzz
(05:11):
right now. One thing to cover in the physical media
world that I didn't post about. Best Buy suddenly started
listing physical media again on their website, and it is
not as it seems. And I'm not going to go
out and make a big video like some of these
other YouTubers and cover this because it's literally just third
party sellers. The best Buy isn't selling them themselves that
(05:34):
they're just based on Nope, nothing in store, literally just online.
It's there are some potential opportunities that could, you know,
theoretically lower prices and do some things to try to
maybe compete with Amazon, but it's literally like Alliance distribution
and stuff like that that you can already buy it
(05:55):
on eBay and stuff. But yeah, I just want to
throw that out there to acknowledge that if anybody's looking
for that. Yeah, I didn't cover it for a reason.
It's not as big of a deal as it sounds
like it is a step in the right direction. I
guess more retailers doing it as nice, but it's not
the same thing. The world is still a less physical
world than it was just a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's why I always appreciate Barnes and Noble like they're
the one. I mean, of course, the roller shops. There
are some great ones not in my area, but there's
some great leg character video I always see you first
about them. But in my area, it's like Barnes and
Noble is the one place that I could still go
and they'll have the criterions, they'll have the arrows occasionally,
and so.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, I always stock in Radiance a lot now too.
Speaking of Rid, yeah I haven't.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I haven't gotten to see that as much in my shop,
but yeah, I heard that they're having the sales.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think it was the last time I went with
KB Loves Movies and Nathan Jones to Barnes and Noble
together we even found some Indicators in person, which I
think is the first time I've ever seen indicated releases
in a physical store, which was really nice to see.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I remember they had a sale like I think it
was around the same time as the Criterion one, so
I thought that they were selling them. But yeah, that's
that's cool. I like that step.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We've had multiple people ask what is on your shirt tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Christine Nice. It's one of my favorite given kings. Yeah,
because I'm trying to get into the spooky spirit. It's
coming around the corner, so get it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Finally.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, it's a good time of year, or at least
you can get in the mindset of it being a
good time of year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, the actual mindset is maybe not as simple to
get into. Uh, let's get into some more about you.
You are in the magazine. You cover a lot of
classic film. Is that primarily what you find yourself watching
and into these days?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah? I mean I try to watch a little bit
of everything, but I think my interests tend to lie
on like where they say, like the focus is eighties
and later, mine is the opposite eighties earlier. It's just
what I grew up on was how Freebeau Art films,
Judy Garland films, and it just now there's more accessible
(08:06):
accessibility to different films. So yeah, I basically dabble in everything.
Uh my I like genre of films, like anything that
has a twist. Musicals and westerns. They're probably the favorite,
and I have like the most leve like it can
be a bad Western and I will probably watch it,
versus like a noir. I'm more picky. I like noirs,
(08:27):
but I'm more picky about it making sense or the plot.
But yeah, Westerns, musicals, melodramas, uh, horror hence Christine. Yeah,
basically any genre anything that has a little bit of
a supernatural spin I adore, and yeah, tends to run
older than the newer theatrical stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And that's why it's gonna be a lot of fun
to talk about what we've been watching recently, because that's
seemingly what I can talk about. So uh uh, yeah,
I've got a lot of that to cover. What about you,
What have you been watching recently? Well?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I have the Criterion Channel right now, so I actually
just started watching the Ripley films for the first time,
Like nice Purple, Purple, what whatever? The Elain Delon one
is uh, the Matt Damon one where the incredible that's incredible,
mister Ripley. The I wrote some of them down so
I would remember John Malkovich one. I think that was
(09:25):
my favorite, and yeah, i've been I'd never watched them,
but then I kind of ended up inadvertently getting into
a Patricia Highsmith marathon. I watched Strangers on a Train.
I read this really awesome book that's coming out in September.
I got to read it early, that's on Strangers on
a Train, and then it led into Ripley. I actually
haven't read a mind of her books yet, but just
(09:47):
I started watching every movie adaptations of her work. And yeah,
so that's been a fun deep dive lately that I
wasn't expecting to do.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
One thing about Rachel. If you follow her on social media,
I always appreciate at the end of the month when
you post your favorite first time watches, and every single
month it's always a highlight. It's it's nice to see
you keeping up with that throughout the year.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Thank you. Oh and I did watch one cool thing.
I did the kickstarter for the new hal Hartley film
and it just came in the mail today or not today, yesterday.
So I watched that because I got to get the
Blue ray. I think it's premiering in New York in September.
But yes, I got to watch that, and this was
(10:32):
really cool. I love. This is the first time. Actually
I have some of the Deep Blue Blu rays, but
I watched it and I love that a bonus features.
I like that he puts them out himself instead of
waiting for like a bigger label to release it. And yeah,
it's got some of his regular CAF members. It's really good.
(10:52):
So i'd recommend that it's called Where to Land. And
I don't know, I know, like a starting in New York.
I don't know what kind of theatrical release going to get,
but I hope it gets a good one because his
films are always awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Is this one up on a site yet? Do you know?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I don't. I think it's just a Kickstarter awards people
so far.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah got it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah. So I'm not sure what their release beyond.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
The premiere is, but I'm sure it'll be on the
side eventually. Yeah, I just checked. It's not here, but
it'll be there eventually. All of the stuff ends up there,
but it does go out of print. Like one of
his box sets, one of the I think it's the
Long Island Trilogy, goes for like three hundred I was
so glad I.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Picked that up one of the times I went on
sale because I'm on the email list too, and it's
like one time I went on sale and I'm like,
I should get that finally, and I was so glad
when I saw. I didn't realize it could go out
of print, and it's like, oh, I'm very glad I
picked that up.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, it's a good thing. I'm glad that glad that
you got it. I unfortunately didn't. All right, let's see
anything else that you watch. Do you want to highlight?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Those were the main ones I watched. I have a review.
I don't know when it's going to be posted, but
Indicators and Justice for All I've been on a little
bit of a I read al Pacino's memoir, so I've
been trying to watching some and it wasn't rewatch that one.
But I really liked that movie. And he gets his
whole speech at the end, which I don't think is
(12:16):
as good as the Dog Day Afternoon speech. It feels
like a copycat, like we have to have him shouting
at the end and you can't beat Attica, But uh,
it was still. I still think it's a really good movie.
An Indicator's release is really good. It has a new
commentary by Alexander Heller, Nicholas and Josh Nelson, who I
think they're fantastic. They also have one of my favorite
commentaries on Fun City Editions, Marvern Caller, which was a
(12:40):
great discovery. Like I think last year I watched that
very sad movie but somehow very good. I like sometimes
the really depressing ones. But anyway, back to Justice Role.
They did the commentary on that and really good job.
And then it also has a commentary with a director
Norman Jewdson, which is like a carryover. It was really
(13:01):
good release if we're looking if anyone's looking for that
region too, but it's really good and my review.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Is very positive, very nice. I'll run through mine real quick.
I for some reason, it was a crazy weekend. I've
had a lot of family birthdays this month I had.
The first month was my wife's sister's birth or sorry.
The first weekend in August was my wife's sister's birthday,
second weekend was my youngest kid's birthday. Third weekend was
(13:27):
my wife's birthday. This weekend is my brother's wife's birthday.
I need a break first of all from all of that.
But because of that, it was a weird time with
theater screenings, and so I broke some of the things up,
and somehow over Friday, Saturday, Sunday this last weekend, I
went to the theater seven different times.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Really.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, So last Friday, my wife requested that we all
as a family go see Freaky or Friday together in
the theater, and it's it's kind of a mess. I
feel like they took all the jokes of the first
one and said, let's do those but sillier, and because
of that, it was way too convoluted of a storyline.
It was fun, I guess in a very Disney Channel
(14:07):
sort of way, but it was not I don't know.
I think they tried to go too much into the
nostalgia and it just didn't quite work for me as
much as I wanted it to. But then it got
a lot better from there. The next day I went
to shin Godzilla, saw that on the big screen for
the first time. I never saw that at home or
anything like that. So this was a big one and
(14:27):
I really liked this one. I think this was a
really interesting interpretation of Godzilla. I love the way that
he evolved throughout the movie. I really enjoy especially the
Japanese aspects of Godzilla, because it's much more politics focused
and diplomacy and very much focused on government response to
(14:49):
things rather than ooh, big monster, scary time like a
lot of the American adaptations are. And yeah, this was good.
There's some things that are a little weird for me,
like the the way that Godzilla looks for the first
twenty minutes of the movie is certainly a choice, but
after that it really goes into some fun territory. The
effects are shockingly decent in a lot of these scenes,
(15:12):
and the big thing is they go there, certain people
die and you're just not ready for them to die,
and it's like, oh, okay, I guess everybody's vulnerable. And
it was nice. Yeah, I love seeing this on the
big screen. Was a big deal, had a great time.
I truly appreciated it. But then Sunday was a wild one.
I went to five films on Sunday in a couple
(15:32):
different theaters. Yeah, in one day. Started the day with
Jimmy and Stiggs. This is the newest Joe Begas film.
He's the guy that did Bliss, He's the guy that
did a couple other films. But the big thing is
this was a shout out to Vinegar Syndrome. They played
part of sex World in the film. There was also
(15:53):
a very obvious cauldron film sticker, and just a big
appreciation for boutique physical media, which was nice. It's a
very fluorescent and foul language type of film. If you
can get past that, it's a hell of a lot
of fun. It's some really great practical effects. There's one
scene where they show somebody's face getting split in half.
(16:14):
That first of all, all of this was done in
Joe's apartment, so the fact that he did this scene
the way that he did is astonishing. But it was
really really well done. I appreciated this film a lot
more than I liked it, and yet it was still
super entertaining. Although I can tell that a lot of
people are gonna hate this movie. It is very frenetic.
It's very like Yelly the entire time. It's just a
(16:39):
couple of dudes yelling the entire movie, and essentially it's
a race to see who can say fuck more times
than the other person. And that dialogue sucks, but it
was still entertaining. It's interesting. After that, I went to
a really fun screening of Americana, which I thought was
(16:59):
gonna be pretty. This is the newest Sydney Sweeney movie
with Paul Walterhauser and Halsey, and Halsey is the star
of this movie. I don't really want to say much
about this because it's kind of one of those movies
where if you say anything, you're gonna spoil very specific
plot lines. It's not like twist heavy, but there are
certain things that you're not going to see coming for this. Essentially,
it's a crime thriller. Was quite happy with it. I
(17:20):
did not expect to like it as much as I did.
It was honestly pretty dang good. Then I saw The Knife,
which is about a black family that is just moved
into a new theater and they are asleep in the
middle of the night and the father figure hears a
noise downstairs and goes downstairs and there is a woman
in their kitchen that just broke in, and he says
(17:43):
a couple of words to her, and then then the
next scene essentially is her on the ground, essentially dead.
We can't see if something happened, but we're put in
a situation where it is Black America and this guy
is needing to call the police because there's a dead
woman in a kitchen and he doesn't know how to
approach the situation. And while the cops are showing up,
(18:06):
we have the wife figure in this house who goes
and picks up a knife and puts it in this
dead woman's hand to make it look like she was
a threat, just so that they don't get in trouble,
and unfortunately that does lead to trouble for the family.
I thought this one was pretty decent. The writing left
a lot to be desired. There's a lot of things
where we have to suspend belief quite a bit to see. Yeah,
(18:29):
all fourteen of these things are likely not going to
happen in one night to this family, but to keep
the drama up. It worked for the most part, and
the very drama heavy aspect of here was palpable. It
definitely made you feel things, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Fourth one for Sunday is the remake of Witchboard, directed
by Chuck Russell, who did The Mask and the Blob
and Nightmare Elle Street three, and that leaves a lot
of Man, I really want to like this, and unfortunate
it is fucking awful. This movie was so bad. The
immediate things that are taking me out of movies in
(19:08):
twenty twenty five is CGI Blood and CGI Fire. It's
really obvious when these things are happening, any industru movie
look cheap and terrible, and they really lean into it.
That being said that, the lead actress here is really great.
She's got a really great scream for horror. She's a
pretty great at delivering line. She's a decent actor. I
(19:29):
really hope she does more. But Chuck Russell should have
not been attached to this because it's really bad. Then
End of the Night with Nobody to Essentially, if you
saw Nobody and liked it, you're gonna love this one.
It's really great set pieces for an interesting story like this.
It's not anything new or special, But that being said,
(19:49):
it's it's nobody too, It's it's an interesting time and yeah,
don't go to this expecting cinema with the capital C.
But it is certainly a fun, fun time at the movies. Yeah,
that was a lot, disclo media, What have you been
picking up lately?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
What have I been picking up? All? I know this
was controversial. I saw when you posted about the Chucky
TV Show recently, but I love the Chucky TV Show
and I know I could have waited because they're coming
up with a complete series set, but me and my
friend Lucas shout out to him, are going to be
he's never seen it. I have seen it, so ahead
(20:30):
of Halloween, we're going to start watching a few episodes
every week. And I love this show. I know you
seem to have some haters in the comments, but I
think it's fantastic, especially I love I think I wrote
about it because I got to write about Brad Dorff
in I forget my issue number of the Physical Media Advocate.
And I love season two because it's the first time
(20:51):
they introduced a good Chucky, which I think is wild
after so many movies and so much of a show
that that's the first time they've tried to propose like
you're gonna believe it, like that there's gonna possibly be
a good Chucky. So I think season two is especially good,
but the whole show is great. I wish it hadn't
be canceled, so I finally I've been running to pick
it up, and yeah, the complete series. I wasn't sure
(21:13):
how they were gonna package it. I don't trust any
more companies that try to do more than one disc
that's not like a box that weard separate, So this
I knew it's too per case. It was a pretty
safe bet and it wasn't really monetarily that different to Wait.
So yeah, I got all three seasons of that, so
I'm excited to watch that. And I got the latest
(21:36):
be Bitched from Indicator because this is a I love Bewitched.
It was one of my favorite shows. I watched it
with my mom all the time, and so yeah, I've
just been picking up these slowly and along the thought.
I got a A Factory Girl, which is a movie
about Edie Sedgwick starring Sienna Miller and Guy Pierce plays
(21:58):
Andy Warhol. And I caught it for the first time
on tub and I thought it was like it was one.
It was one. I wasn't sure, but I really liked it.
Guy Pierce makes Andy Warhol be a creep, and I
think he might have been as talented a talented creek maybe,
but the Creepland I was also excited because I had
a commentary by Elizabeth Percell. I'm not sure if I'm saying
(22:20):
her last name right, but she recently did the commentary
on Severin's release of motorcycle, and I thought that was fantastic,
So it just was like, I'm gonna add that to
my order, and yeah, I think this is an unexpectedly
good movie. I read reviews that didn't seem like a
lot of people shared my opinions, but I liked it,
(22:41):
and it has some other bonus features too, so I'm
excited to go through that and to make myself feel
guilty of These are the ones that I've got a
few review copies, and I haven't gotten to them yet,
and I want to, so now I will at least
acknowledge their existence and that I want to write about them.
I just haven't watched them yet. This one's coming out
(23:02):
next week from Severn. It's negative. It's actually a double feature,
and I'm excited about both movies. The first one stars
What's There Nick glender Jackson, who was fantastic, and the
second one stars I know her name, Barbara Windsverer, who
was in the TV show If anyone likes to finish
TV show Worthle Gummage, which stars the Third Doctor as
(23:26):
a scarecrow and with a children's TV show. But it's
got a lot of darkness and it was from the seventies,
and Barbara Windser played a character in that, so I
love her and it has nothing to do with that,
but just to put in context, she's awesome. And that's
the second feature, which is called Sparrows Can't Sing. I'm
really excited for this. I think it's also gonna have
(23:47):
a commentary by Tim Lucas on the first film and
Daniel Kramer on a second, and I think it also
is going to be one of the last bonus features
we're going to get from the Amazing League Ambin So
I'm really excited to go through this. And the last
Severine film I really liked was Entertaining Mister Sloan, which
I also highly recommend because I think severyone is having
(24:08):
a sale soon. So that was a pickup that I
was like unsure about with the trailer because it's like
one of those sixties films that can just be like
sex comedies and that can just be kind of silly
or just low humor. But I thought it was fantastic,
more like one of the Elizabeth Taylor's seventies films where
it's just wild and crazy, and I adored it, so
(24:29):
I highly recommend that release too. But yeah, I want
to write about this one. I will be writing about it,
I just haven't gotten to it yet. The other one
that I'm excited to is Criterions release of Compensation, which
is coming out next week, which I had never heard
of before, but it's about it's about the nineteen ninety
nine and they describe it it's has the deaf community.
(24:51):
I'm specifically the African American deaf community, and it's I think, mostly,
if not all in black and white, but like two
timeline story and I I've never heard this before. I'm
really excited. I think it's a female director and I
can't wait to watch this one. And the other one
is I made sure to switch the cover because I
(25:12):
don't think the other one is it's friendly for the internet.
But Mama Micawber's recent release of the two Eva Man movies.
I'm really excited to watch them. And also the commentary Bye,
they're really great. They wrote a cool book recently too,
but I can't find their name right now on this,
(25:32):
but they've got a cool commentary. I'm excited for two.
So those are the three that I will be writing
about eventually. I just need to have time carved out.
But I'm excited for that.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Time is not an easy thing to come by nowadays.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
No, and I always like to, like I always want
to watch all the bonus features, and like I always
feel guilty if I skip one or if I don't
read the booklet. So it's just the additional watching. I
think that each of these films has a commentary, so
it's like it's additional time. But I don't want to
just cover the movie. I want to acknowledge what the
(26:08):
critics are doing.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Imagine that. I imagine if everybody had that mindset, I
would love it. Okay, So I've got a handful. Are
these were mostly held up with the pre order, which
you're going to see what held it up and we're
going to joke about that, I'm sure. But a couple
of really really new ones. This is Cult Epics. This
is a Dutch film called Dakota that it is coming
out right now. I think it's coming out next week.
(26:30):
I think we're going to talk about that at the end.
This is the last Scorpio film directed by Vim Verstoppin.
This is supposed to be really great. I love a
lot of the just off the wall stuff that Cult
Epics does. Can't wait to check that out. But the
big one that a lot of people, I'm not gonna
spend a good time on it because most people that
are loving this kind of movie you've already seen it.
But this is the new synaps release of The Deadly Spawn.
(26:52):
It is one of these beautiful giant box that's with
crazy digipack, poster, big book, really great art throughout this
entire thing. And the best thing is that there's different
art everywhere. And it's a movie that is very visual
in nature, So when you're getting things that has all
kinds of iconic art and scenes in it, the fact
(27:15):
that we can highlight all of these is so so
fun and important and beautiful. Love that. But now the
release that was held holding everything up for me in
this big package. This might be the most delayed box
set that I've ever ordered. This has been delayed I
think six times something like that. This is the Veto
(27:36):
Giallo set from Cauldron Films that gots I think. I
pre ordered this last November or got announced last November
and literally just showed up. And because I had ordered
a couple of the other things with it, I also
got Mad Fox's four K from Cauldron which I had
the old European release of this one. Really stoked to
(27:56):
upgrade that one because this did not look good on
that Blu ray unfortunately. And then the last one, this
one I've not seen, but I've been excited to check
out considering the way they described it on the website,
and that is cries and shadows. This is what is
the subtitle, the Return of the Exorcist, which I am
(28:16):
stoked to check out because I love Exorcist ripoffs and
this is supposedly a pretty decent one.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Is that a newer film or no?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
This is from Do they have the seventy five?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Okay, so yeah, white really fresh ripoff they were immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah it's Italy. They never cared. Yeah, lots of great
stuff coming in recently. And I dropped the poster, but yeah,
this box that held it up, I know. I think
Tyler's asking if it's sold out. I believe they are
going to have a couple more of these, but they're
getting everything shipped out before they put more of those
(28:53):
back on the website. There's probably not gonna be a
ton of them left, considering they were available to pre
order for I don't know eight and a half months
before before they were shipping, so we'll see how many
are left. But yeah, that's a Cauldron, which I adn't
got anything new from Cauldron in a long time because
of that, so very happy to get that in.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, I don't think I've dabbled in Cold. I know
of their releases and I love the cover art, but
I don't think i've kind of Cauldron one yet.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well, speaking of that, what physical media companies are some
of your favors. We heard about the films that you like,
so I could probably guess a couple of them, but
which ones are Like, you're die hard, I'm always interested
in these.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well. I love Warner Archive because I love a lot
of their titles. I hate the pace sometimes that the
titles get released, But then I also respect the quality
of their releases. You're always going to get a crisp image.
There's a reason there takes so long, so I respect it.
But also at the same time, it's like, actually, I mean,
considering how many times there's been the false alarms that
(29:55):
Warner Archives dying, it's not going to release it anymore,
it's actually in a very good year for them. I mean,
they're being consistent, You're Getna at least six releases a month,
so actually I really have nothing to complain about. But yeah,
and I'm excited for like Huckleberry Hound coming up soon.
I'm really that's like childhood nostalgia. I had like a
(30:16):
Huckleberry Hound book that I loved, and I actually don't
even know if I ever watched the show. I just
had it in my head because I loved this book
so much that I must have watched it. So I'm
excited to dive into that. But yeah, I love one
and Archive. I love Imprint. I think they have some
of the best packaging in the game. I love Indicator too.
I love when they do like their Mexican horror films.
(30:39):
Any release that they do with that, I think that's
really cool because it's just I feel like that's a
it's just all about availability and like having the subtitles.
Like I think there's so many Mexican horror films that
we don't know about that would become instant classics, but
they're just either whether they're in not good condition or
they're just not available in English. So I just love
that they're making motions on that. And yeah, I really
(31:01):
love Anything and yeah, basically, if it's a classic movie,
I but to pick it up.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, yeah, I totally get that indicator. I've really got
got to give it to them because the the consistency
of the quality of their supplements are astonishing. And we're
going to talk about one of their box sets tonight.
They got announced today and the stuff that they've got
on there. I mean, there's there's a short film on
(31:28):
there directed by one of the directors in the box
set that is a warning against venereal disease, and they're like,
let's archive that with this box set, and I'm like,
that's amazing, Like, I love the fact that we're putting
this medical scare film on here just because it's the
same director, because who else is going to put that
out Nobody. Yeah, it's amazing. So tonight, after our announcements,
(31:50):
we're covering a really fun topic. We're gonna be talking
about movie characters that we would love to steal the
wardrobe from. I can't wait to dive into that because
it was kind of difficult for me to choose because
I didn't want them all to be the same, and
with good dude fashion, that's kind of always the case,
(32:13):
and so I feel like I made some good choices.
Can't wait to cover those. I am stoked to share
both of those choices. But I think it's decent time
to get into some of these announcements, So let's do
this second side. We knew this was coming, but we
got some release details. So October thirteenth, we're getting a
four K and Blu Ray release of the Florida Project
(32:35):
from twenty seventeen. This is the Sean Baker film starring
Willem Dafoe and it is coming in a deluxe four
K package and a standard four K and standard Blu
Ray package. So if you want the deluxe, you have
to buy the four K. But the big story here
is it's Sean Baker. He loves physical media, so they
went hard on the bonus features. We heard that this
(32:58):
was happening, and this is a three set, a four
K disc, two Blu ray discs. We got a new
four K master that was produced and approved by Sean himself,
over four and a half hours of brand new bonus material,
new commentary with Sean, the co writer Chris and the
DP Alexis. We got a new commentary by Kat Ellinger,
who we both have known in love for many years
(33:20):
and Martin Katerio. We got a new interview with Sean.
We got a new interview with Willem Dafoe, he sat
down for an interview for Second Site. A new interview
with some of the actors, the kids. We've got new
interviews with the co writer, the producers. Lots of stuff
on her. New interview with Sammy Kwan, Shawn's wife. A
new interview with the executive director of Community Hope Center,
Reverend Mary Downey, a new interview with the casting coordinator.
(33:44):
There is a location video on this shot in Florida.
Of course, there is As always with these giant Second
Site releases, there is a hard box release and then
you get the book, which is one hundred and sixty
pages in hardback book with usays by Tim Coleman, Martin Conterio, Elena,
Isaac Hanna, Sorry, Hannah mcguil, Don Stronsky, and Nadine Whitney,
(34:07):
plus some on set photos. You also got the eight
Collectors on set photo art cards. There is so much
in this Have you seen the Florida Project?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I love the Florida Project. I am so excited for
this release. I have not gotten into four K films
I haven't. I feel like I'm happy with Blu Rays.
I heard a lot of scratches us for four K's.
I'm good with Blu Ray. But I will definitely be
getting the Deluxe Edition because A I think the cover
art's amazing. I think the bonus features are amazing. It
(34:38):
was my first Sharn Baker film. I love that movie.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I love everything about it. I think Brooklyn Prince is amazing.
I love her career. I actually got to do She
had a comic book series on misfortune done the title
Misfortune's Eyes. It's really fun little series. I got to
interview her. It was to email for Comic Con, and
I think she is fantastic. She's also really good on
(35:01):
the TV show Home Before Dark, which is kind of
like a younger version of Veronica Mars that was on
Apple TV. Plus that nobody promoted it because Apple TV
has great shows, but no one promotes it. But I
think she's fantastic. And this was the first film I
saw her, and because I think that was her first film,
I love everything about this. I will definitely be picking
this up. I loved, you know when it was originally released,
(35:24):
how I think it was Sean Baker's doing, but that
had a Cat Ellinger commentary, and I like that this
is a new one that she's back to do it
talk about it again. And that was exciting at the
time because with recent releases you don't see film critics
being brought on, and I thought that was exciting and
just everything about this. Yeah, I will definitely be pecking
(35:44):
this up. How about you?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Was Kat on the first release of this?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I think that was what was what was so cool.
I'm pretty sure she had a commentary, but it wasn't
with with Martin and so this would be a new one.
But I'm pretty sure the A twenty four one she
was on it.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
She was on Red Rocket. She was not on Florida Project.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Okay, so I made up facts.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I knew it just looked okay.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Sorry about that, but yet I do with a Sean
Baker film, I just lied. But I'm glad about the
continuity that she's back on this.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah. I love this film. It's not my Sean Baker film,
but that's like saying it's not my favorite child, because
they're all perfect. I completely love the vibe of this movie.
It is very Sean Baker. And if you have seen
any of his movies, you know exactly what that feels like.
Kat is incredible. I am stoked that she's back on this.
(36:43):
I love that he loves physical media so much that
when he was going over the physical media release for
Red Rocket, he said, you know what a twenty four
we have to hire Kat Ellinger to have her be
a part of that. That is that's a quote baller
move and I love that it's happen. Yeah, good stuff,
love Sean. Yeah, amazing release. Can't we do on this?
(37:07):
And then this one? I was very, very happy to
see this. They also announced that pretty soon they're gonna
be releasing a four K release of The Ugly Stepsister,
which came out this year. Have you had a chance
to catch this one?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I have not. I've seen the trailer. I'm interested because
I like the dark fairy tale, but I have not
seen it yet. No, it's on Shutter right too.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
It's I think it's on Shutter already. I saw it
at a panicfest here in Kansas City earlier this year.
That was one of the US premieres of it, and
I adored this movie. I knew that Shutter was probably
not going to give it a loving release like second
site clearly will Yeah, this looks like an absolutely amazing release.
(37:47):
I love this movie. Please check it out. If you
liked Anything Dark, fairy Tale or body Horror, which, by
the way, really fun combination of those two things. Absolutely
love this movie.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah, anything, I imagine what the slipper. There's a great
opportunity there.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Well, and that's just one of like eight awful seeds
of cringe. But yes, lots of opportunities.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
I'll definitely add that to the Halloween viewing nice well.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Speaking of beautiful films, Deaf Crocodile has up for pre
order now and shipping in September. Serious from nineteen forty two.
This is a romantic time travel film that is set
in the nineteen forties where a brash Hungarian playboy travels
back two hundred years with the mad scientist to the
mid eighteenth century world of whigs and pompadors, where he
(38:37):
falls in love with a penniless opera singer and makes
enemies of all the aristocratic fools he encounters, including his
own great grandfather. This is first of all, I have
to point out Deaf Crocodile. Craig loves art. I don't
know that there are many releases that could even possibly
(38:59):
compete with art as beautiful as this. This box set
in the hand is going to be absolutely astonishing, and
the back of it is just as good. The black
and white art on this, I mean I saw the
art coming together because I saw some of the earlier
iterations of it. It's just an amazing choice. The release
here is going to be some really fascinating things. We
(39:22):
got an ultra rare behind the scenes footage of this
during production, so to have that on camera from nineteen
forty two amazing. On top of that, that's right, new
video interview with Yorgi Raddooley, who's the director of the
NFI who did the restoration on this. There is a
new visual essay by somebody named Will Dotson and myself
(39:45):
editing that is a really I'm really happy with the
way this one turned out. I hope people check it out.
New commentary by Steven Arbisset, the incredible comic artist. We
got new artwork by Beth Morris of course, and the
authoring as usual on the disc by Fidelity Emotion. New
essay on the deluxe edition by Rolf Gezen, and then
another new essay by Waltshaw, who's always there. But the
(40:07):
big story for me, this slipcase art on the big
box is Richard Cox and it's just magnificent. Serious. I'm
sure most people have not seen this. Have you happened
to have been able to catch this?
Speaker 3 (40:19):
No? But I love what def Crocodile does. Personal favorites
are their check films so far. I'm hoping like with
the I'm going to butcher the titles, but the Mysterious
Corpapasians and the Della Something Supper, and I know that's
the trilogy, and I really want them to release the
first one, which I think is a Western like parody.
(40:39):
I love all their films. I love how it's basically
a company that you will never know of any of
these films beforehand, and I think that's the beauty of it.
They really just a blind bys and you just have
to try them and it's worth it, and they're stacked
with features. Yeah, I love what they're doing and this
looks beautiful. The packaging's beautiful and yeah, I would definitely
(41:02):
be interested. But yeah, everything they do is just I
love a company that will do that.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
This film is very you could claim it's out of
the Wheelhouse of Deaf Crocodile. Because they have not done
many romantic films, this is by far the most romantic
film that they have done. This movie. Any of the
screenshots that you could take from this film is something
that you could put up and everybody go, my god,
(41:29):
that is beautiful. I would hang that on the wall,
a beautiful tapestry, and it is shot with that in mind.
It is gorgeous, has some great music, really funny dialogue
in this I truly think people will love this movie.
Please check it out if you haven't.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
I've loved a time Travel too that you had to
be sold with time Travel, I will definitely be keeping
an eye on that one.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah. I think that this is going to surprise some people.
It is ahead of its time, and that's not a
pun on purpose, I promise. Let's keep going to our
wonderful Warner Archive releases. These are all coming on Blu
Ray on September thirtieth. We don't have any four K releases.
I think they've only said that they're gonna be doing
like maybe three or four years. So I have a
(42:14):
feeling before the end of the year we're going to
get an announcement for maybe one more we've already had.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Michael Caine was the reason.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Yeah. In fact, I think that's like I am about
to be shipping or just shipped this last week, So yeah,
that is very very recent. So I think last year
when they did their first one, that was like a
November announcement, So I'm guessing probably around then the last
one for the year. But this first one is with
Walter Houston and we got The Beast of the City
from nineteen thirty two. This has some classic cartoons on here.
(42:43):
We got Goopy Gear and Bosco and Bruno. This is
a brand new master from a four K scan of
the preservation elements that they have. I know nothing about
this film or any of these other Warner Archive releases.
This is going to be the Rachel Show for a
few minutes. Do you know about the I.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Haven't seen this one. I have seen a lot of
Harlow because at one time a Criterion channel did a
collection of her films, and I love her. I looked
up this movie. I'm not crazy it sounds of the
plot thumb because it sounds a little bit like the
the cop who breaks the rules, but the moral is
they should let him, and I haven't seen it, so
(43:22):
maybe that's not. But it doesn't sound like a really
lovely story. Especially watching right now, it's like, I don't
really want that theme in my life. But then the
not then the Harlow aspect. I think she is fantastic,
so I probably will pick it up eventually anyway, just
because I want to see everything she does, and she's
worth it every time. But yeah, I don't know this film.
(43:43):
I really want them to put out her film, Hold
Your Man. I think it's called it's referring Clark Gable
and she's in a woman's reformatory and it has some
really great female actresses in it playing the other members
of the reformatory. If that would have been my top
choice to get a Blu ray but more Harlow and
Blue ray is always good, but I don't know much
about this particular one.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Good to know. Next up is a Laurence Olivier film
from nineteen fifty three, and that is The Beggars Opera.
This one I don't even know that i'd heard of
before this. This is also four K scans of the
original Technicolor negatives. Yeah, this sounds fascinating. This is in
seventeen forty one London notorious Highwayman Captain McKeith is in
Newgate Jail due to hang at dawn. But rope collars
(44:28):
aren't the fashion for dashing, self respecting ne'er do wells,
and prison doors can swing both ways. Sounds exciting, sounds
like a classic Olivier. Yeah, anything speak to you on
this one to tell you the truth.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
And I know it's kind of controversial. I'm not the biggest.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Olivier fan and I don't love him either, good.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
But not good. I know he's talented. I know he
did some great Shakespeare movies, but yeah, he's not my favorite.
So this is not gonna end then for a part.
Doesn't really make me any more sold on it, but
I think it's cool it's coming out. I hadn't heard
of it before, Like when they do the deep cuts.
I know some people get angry, like why didn't you
do the more popular title, But I just think it's
(45:14):
cool that you can hold out because they've always liked
that one film that oh they're never going to put out.
But because Warner Archive does do the weird one, sometimes
I don't even notice is weird. I might be I
haven't seen it but I think it's great that they're
putting it out there. It's not immediately for me, but
I'm glad it's coming.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
I feel like Warner and I really hope this is
the case, because it certainly feels like this. I feel
like they are prioritizing things where the negatives are in
the worst shape, and they're just trying to get the
bad ones out there first, basically to prioritize the restoration work.
So it's nice to see. Yeah, Warner Archive really can't
be praised enough. No other studios are putting out the
(45:55):
amount of titles they are in this quality, because any
of these look just astonishing. It's like they were restored
yesterday with just the best elements, and you're like, how
do you keep doing this? Like six in one month?
And they all look at me ridiculous? All right. Next
up is probably the one that I'm most excited about
(46:15):
this month, from nineteen seventy four Black Samson. This one
is a four K scan of the original camera negative.
We've got no extras on this other than the trailer,
but Rockney HARKing to Tarkington Sorry, stars as the titular
hero in this blaxploitation cult favorite. When white drug dealers
try to move their operation of the hood, they do
(46:35):
not plan on a local nightclub owner, a master of
martial arts known locally as Black Samson. The farious individuals
try to make a deal with Samson, then they try
to kill him, but when they beat up his girlfriend,
the dealers go too far. Samson leads his pet Lion
and the people of his neighborhood in a war that
drives the drug pushers out of Samson's piece of the hood. Yeah,
if that doesn't scream, I need to see that tomorrow.
(46:58):
Are you alive? That sounds incredible? Yeah, how about blaxploitation?
You into much of it?
Speaker 3 (47:04):
I do like I do love the explotation films. I'm
not as well burst in it. But if I've seen
quite a few of Pam Greer's ones, Yeah, I love
the idea of when they just throw random animals into movies,
especially ferocious ones that probably shouldn't be in movies. I
think that's great. I would definitely want to see that.
I like the cover art. They know how to sell it.
(47:27):
Put that line on the cover and yeah, I think
they could be a lot of fun. But no, I'm
not familiar with this.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Particular one, I'm gonna say, put that line on the cover,
and put that line on the cover because this catch
line on the front Every Brother's friend, every mother's enemy.
That's amazing. Have to see it. Yes, Next up, I
Died a thousand times from nineteen to fifty five with
Jack Palance and Chili Winners. Is this a Rachel movie?
Speaker 3 (47:54):
Probably not, because I think it's basically a remake of
High Thierra and I wasn't a big fan of High Thierra.
I do love Shelley Ventures. I know her parts can
get the same, just very Usually her fate isn't usually
good in movies. She tends to get her and mistreated,
and I probably this one's not going to be different
(48:16):
in that sense. But yeah, slightly interested. But yeah I've
heard pretty seen by scene, pretty close remake of it,
and so probably not. But yeah, Shelly Ventures is great,
so there's always that temptation.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
To pick it up, right This one special features wise,
they got classic cartoons, hair brush and Sahara hair and
then the original trailer not a ton I just got
a question from Sam and the chat that says, how
come these never get features? They just don't have the
budget for it. They put all the money into restoration work,
and the fact that they're putting out six or seven
a month, I guess I'll allow it, especially because you
(48:53):
can usually get these for a pretty decent price if
you wait, you can get them for fourteen fifteen bucks.
You don't got to pay twenty two on release date
or anything like that. That being said, do I wish
there was more? Yeah, And in all reality, I would
love to do like a visual essay or a commentary
on half these releases. Hell, we probably we would probably
do it for like free for a quarter of them.
(49:16):
But yeah, at this point, it's hard to complain because
it's a studio putting love into it. I died a
thousand times. No other studio is doing that except for Sony,
and they don't do it at the rate that Warner
Archive is doing it, so bravo to them.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Yeah, and they always carry over, like if it was
a commentary in the past, they always carry it over
or occasionally you'll see it like I think The Devil
Dell had a really good like some of their horror titles,
Dell Splurge like that one had a good commentary. So
everyone for a while. But yeah, I wish they had
more because I'd love to work for them and help
because it's just amathing titles.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yeah. Well, and not only that, a couple of the
horror titles have gotten like two disc releases because they
have so much on.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
Like the Hammer Horror ones. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Yeah, and they really really go into that. And and
it's nice to see because again, these are probably gonna
be the best releases of some of these films. So
if they're willing to do that, yeah, I'm glad that
they're doing it. It is something that needs it, and
it's good work. Again, the restoration work is pretty top
notch for a studio and at that point, just yeah,
(50:22):
I love it. I want to point out because he's here,
Uh you should go support Real Black and uh he's
talking about he loves this shirt because it is a
real Black shirt. Go check out his site at shot
dot Real black dot com. Well priced, comfortable shirt, good material.
Please it needs to happen so we can see a
good release of Riverbend coming out. And uh, I'm gonna
(50:43):
be I I've been saying this to him a couple
of years behind the scenes. I promise we're getting there.
I'm sorry he's gonna be on the channel soon. We're
gonna be discussing riverbend and and and all reality. He
needs all the support and and black Film needs the support.
That's why I wanted to buy the shirt, because it's
it's important. So yeah, check out the site, buy shirt.
It's it's needed, all right. So my favorite part of
(51:05):
War Archive, especially over the last couple of years, is
the random obscure animation titles that they're releasing. And this is, uh,
this is so so different than anything that I ever expected.
And beyond that, we do have some weird like controversy.
I guess this cover art is already wrong. This is
(51:26):
not the actual cover for this release. And as it
turns out, they took the background animation of this from
the Madeline cartoon and they don't own Madaline. Okay, I
can see that they had to replace it because they
don't own it. I don't know how well.
Speaker 3 (51:39):
They changed it, but I didn't hear this backstory behind that.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
Yeah, I don't know how that, Like, you can't accidentally
do that. So very confusing there. But this is Cluchet,
Turtle and Dumb Dumb the complete series. This is covering
four k scans of the original episodic negatives of fifty
two episodes of two Shae Turtle and Dumb Dumb. And again,
(52:04):
this is two hundred and seventy five minutes of an
animated show that most of you in the chat have
probably never heard of. It's only two discs, so again,
it's only it's only like six hours, six and a
half hours of content. But still, the fact that they're
doing four K scans of the original elements of two
Shay Turtle and Dumb Dumb is amazing. I'm so stoked
(52:27):
that we're getting this, uh animation. I'm sure you're into
the East and she's called out.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
The other one.
Speaker 3 (52:34):
Recently got their Vacky Races release and that was really fun.
I hadn't heard of it before, and all of a
sudden at the same time, like Dynamite Comics put out
a one shot comic Racky Races, so it just seemed
like Kismet the universe wanted Racky Races out there again.
But that show is super fun. I love that that
one has like the same race cars every episode. Like
(52:56):
they didn't add new characters, they just kept adding more gags,
change locations. It's such a simple premise, but I adored
that one, and that one I'd never heard of before.
So yeah, turtle who looks like he's dressed like Robin Hood,
I am all for that. I think that's great. I
don't know why the poor dog is called dumb dumb,
but I definitely like the turtle.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
And maybe we'll find out we can empathize. In the
first couple episodes, I was vaguely aware of this. I
don't think I've ever seen a full episode, but I've
definitely seen like pictures from the animation for this, just
looking up Old Hannah barbera stuff. And I again cannot
believe that we're getting like full Huckleberry Hound or getting
a complete series of this. Those things happened, like even
(53:40):
the Wacky Races one. I never would have imagined that
we would get brand new restorations of the complete series.
That is mind blowing to me. So all of these
I literally everyone that weren't archive releases, I will buy
and I will try to buy day one so that
they get the most support out of them because I
want to fund these. And that's I try to not
(54:02):
say those sort of things on the show, because I'm
not trying to talk anybody into buying something out of
the principle or of the story of it. If you
want it, by it. If you don't, don't. But for this,
I want to feel good about putting money into something
like this because oh God, like we need more of these.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
I love it absolutely. They just feel good TV that
you can just pop on anytime. It's it's fantastic well and.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
That for me especially, And I don't need to get
all super family oriented for a quick moment or anything,
but I will say it is really nice when I
can get something like this and share the love of
my life. Don't tell my wife the physical media and
film with my kids because most of these things I
can't show my kids for like another twelve years, and
(54:43):
by then they'll be twenty and that's weird, but it's
it's one of those things where like if I can say, hey,
I just got this in, do we want to watch
a disc? And like I've shown them some of the
Tom and Jerry stuff that weren't archives put out. They've
discovered old cartoons through so many of these, and I
freaking love it. I love that I can bring my
kids in and say, look, I just got this disc
in let's watch it. Yeah, that's a good time, and
(55:05):
we're our archive. You get all my support for something
like this, so thank you. This doesn't matter because it's
alread passed, so I'm going to go right by it.
Vinegar Syndrome has announced that there's an upcoming Labor Day
sale because it's Vinegar Syndrome, so of course there's an
upcoming sale this year. In April, they announced that they
were moving a warehouse and they completed it back then.
(55:27):
They during that time have supposedly uncovered a bunch of
product that they thought was sold out. So they've got slipcovers, cases,
discs that have all been tucked away for years, hidden
in that old warehouse, and now they are able to
put some of these on sale, and they are building
like a group of these things. They said, just like
past Labor Day sales, we will also be bringing you
(55:47):
new titles, major discounts of VSMC promotion, new merch and more.
Mailu Scene will have its own sale as well, so
you can look forward to that. This is all going
to start at twelve oh one a m. Eastern on Friday,
August twenty ninth, and then run through eleven to fifty
nine pm Eastern on Tuesday, September second. A variety of
products released prior to November twenty four excuse me twenty
(56:10):
twenty four will be discounted during the event, including releases
and merchandise ranging from ten to seventy five percent off,
and there will be special discounted sections of the site
that you can browse. And then, in addition to the
items being discounted, they will be launching a new batch
of out of print titles every day of the sale.
These will drop when the sale starts Friday, August twenty
(56:30):
ninth at twelve oh one am Eastern, and then the
following drops will take place every day at noon Eastern.
Be sure to come back every day because that's what
they're trying to do to get you there every single
day to spend more money. And yeah. During this time,
they're also going to be launching the normal September lineup
of VS and all of their partner label release stuff
at twelve oh one pm Eastern on Monday September first,
(56:52):
VS have you gone much into the Vinegar Syndrome or
partner label world to collect things I Love?
Speaker 3 (56:58):
Their Cinema Cinema tag Griffy, I'm not sure if not okay,
Cinematica I love there was titles. I love the Altman
Seeve like us Fantastic Rocket something, then a Cage one
with Dennis Hopper. That movie is fantastic. I still need
to get looking for Mister Goodbar. I love all the
(57:19):
movies they're releasing so that. Otherwise, I do like some
of the Like they did a random Barbas Standwick anthology
film that was really cool, don't Flesh and Fantasy, which
does not sound like a barb of Standick film, but
it was. I'm pretty sure I got that right now,
but that was a really good one. Yeah. I do
like some of their titles, and I know they recently
(57:40):
sold out of one and like the standard edition sold
out right away too, Scarecrow something that I was really
annoyed at myself for not picking up. So I don't know,
because like I knew the limited editions, Yeah, they sell
out in it. I'm not I like slipcovers, but sometimes
I'll live if I don't get slipcover. But when the
standard edition like sold out like during the pre order stage, like,
(58:01):
oh I'm messed up there, but.
Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah, well it's not out of print. It is coming back,
so and you can even buy it on Amazon, so
there's nothing you can't.
Speaker 3 (58:10):
Not right now. It's like right now, it's like it's
got that Amazon renny act like it disappeared and like
occasionally like a week later will show up. But yeah,
they won't let you order it right now because I
was kicking myself for not doing that one. But yeah,
I like I like Miniator Syndrome, and I look forward
to their announcements, especially like I think the last sale
(58:31):
when they did one every day. I love looking forward
to that, like at twelve o'clock, let's check the computer.
I will be that person who immediately if you give
me a time when an announcement's coming, I will be
there five minutes before waiting for it. So yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Glad that title that you were looking for, Scarecrow I
was released by AGFA and yes, not out of print.
You'll you'll be able to get okay for for a
long time, I promise, Yeah, And I'm.
Speaker 3 (58:59):
Glad it to hold out so quickly. But I've never
seen a standard edition fly so quickly so fast.
Speaker 2 (59:04):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I don't know. I
think the other fastest one was probably the keep, and
even that one took like thirty six hours last time,
so this one was pretty quick, all right. That was
the VSL that'll be live next Friday when we do
the show next Thursday, going into Friday, so we might
even be able to talk about that on the show.
(59:25):
So we'll see Terror Vision we were live, well we
weren't live. I guess we had a pre recorded video
to talk about these last week and have some interesting
things to cover. First. This is coming in October. You
can pre order this now as part of the thirteen
Weeks of Halloween. And this is the nineteen eighty eight
film Hide and Go Shriek coming on four k UHD
(59:46):
from Terror Vision. This is a shockingly great movie for
what it is. This is a Brandy four K scan
from the interpositive and it's uncut for the first time
ever since VHS, Laser disc so on on DVD, Blu Ray,
it was never not uncut. They were always cut. And
(01:00:06):
this is gonna have all kinds of new extras. This
is gonna be a two disc set. You got the
four K disc Blu Ray disc, You've got the uncut
version presented on four K and Blu Ray there's a
forty page book with new writing from Alexandra Heller Nicholas,
who we already shouted out earlier. Jason Kleeberg, friend of
mine who runs the Force five podcast. Go listen to
that show. It's a great show. Stephanie Crawford, who does
(01:00:27):
amazing work. I'm working with her on something else behind
the scenes right now too. Michael Roddy, who's amazing, and
then Brad Henderson, who's a pretty okay guy. I love you.
Bred new commentary with Skip School, Nick and Mark Manos.
We've got a newly produced making of documentary for this
with all kinds of new interviews with people from the movie,
all edited together wonderfully by John Daily aka Rock Hudson.
(01:00:51):
I gotta say his editing on this is mind blowing.
I said this in the video last week, but I
really want to highlight I think this forty five minute
documentary might be like top three bonus features that Terror
Vision has ever produced. It's genuinely incredible, very personal stories
as part of this doc A lot of these like
cobbled together documentaries kind of go over the same things
(01:01:13):
and it's like, okay, cool, and by the thirtieth minute
you're like, I've heard a version of the story six
times now. This is not like that. This is a
very interesting, very like dense forty five minutes of really
great stories. So if you love this movie, you're gonna
absolutely love this release. We've got a full laser disc
presentation of here. We've got the code red Blu ray
(01:01:33):
scan on here as well. There's some archival extras. It's
a lot. Please check it out if you're interested in Slashers.
The big thing that people might be interested in if
you've never seen this one. This is a single location slasher,
so it all takes place in a furniture store, and
it's a very good movie for what it is. I'm
assuming have you not seen Hide and Go Shriek?
Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
I haven't heard of it, but you're selling it very well.
Love the furniture store of randomness that, yeah, I would
definitely like. I mean a, this is the obvious one.
But I love Black Christmas, so I don't have as
much knowledge as I love horror, but Flashers is more
of a blind area for me. But yeah, I and
(01:02:15):
I liked how in the one picture yet a foot
chat too, I'm curious. I definitely would be interested in
seeing this one. But yeah, I've never heard of it before.
But I like the title too. Any pun works.
Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Uh, this is really cool and I do believe this
is legit. Rachel Carrie Mulligan in the chat says, if
there's an address, they will send you their copy of Scarecrow,
extremely blind of you. They liked the film, but not
when they'd revisit. Is there an email address they can
email you at, Rachel, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Can definitely provide that. I think it's actually on my
You said you put the link to my website, which
thank you for doing that in the post in my
about me section. I know I have an email there
or I can give it to Ryan, or you can
pass it up on chatter.
Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
I could say it right now as well, if you're
okay with that.
Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Yeah, it's just my name, Rachel dot delaur at gmail
dot com. So it's it's nothing fancy. Always good with
the obvious.
Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Yeah, all of that to lead up to Rachel dot
bell war at gmail dot It's really.
Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
A hard one to remember.
Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
But yeah, oh that was a lot of fun. Thank
you for doing that, Carrie Mulligan, Thank you so much.
That's such a kind thing to see in the chat.
I I love that the people in the chat are
like that, Yeah, hide and go shriek. Check it out.
It's a great time. I don't need to keep selling it.
But the next one is one that people are definitely
gonna have a lot of questions about, and that is
(01:03:45):
Terror Vision. In November, they are releasing secret mystery title
title title all we know, well I shouldn't say we,
because I know what it is. This is from the
nineteen hundreds. It's not a new film. It is a
pre order. This will not until after Halloween. And the
reason they're doing that is because if you purchase this,
they want you to be able to get it with
(01:04:06):
the rest of your Halloween titles. But also this is
a set pre order. This is limited to a maximum
of two thousand units, and if it's sold out before Halloween,
it'll be over. You can't buy anymore. If it is
still available on Halloween, then it will not be sold anymore.
They're not going to do any more of these. This
is a complete limited edition feature It has a slipcover,
(01:04:27):
It does have bonus features. This is a full release
and I do know what it is. I do want
to highlight one thing everybody is pissed off on the
whole like blind buying thing, and I totally get that.
I do want to try to make people feel a
little it easy. This is not like a this is
a terrible movie and we are just trying to get
(01:04:49):
rid of it, so this is the only way it
would sell. This is a legitimately very interesting thing that
it is like a lot of other Terrvision titles that
they just wanted to see. Would people be into this,
Let's have some fun as part of the thirteen Weeks
of Halloween. It was literally just a fun idea. The
big thing though, it is fourteen dollars and ninety nine
(01:05:10):
cents for a full Blu ray release with the slipcover
with bonus features and everything. Full release. I don't remember
in the last five or six years that any boutique
company has released a full release with newly produced special
features and a big, thick slipcover for fifteen dollars in
twenty twenty five. That's kind of unheard of. I say yes,
(01:05:37):
and I do understand the whole, like I need to
know what I'm giving my money.
Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
To aspect fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Yeah, it's yeah. I can't say anything else. It's it's
a it's a good time. I like the movie. I
like the extras, considering I helped with the extras, but
it's uh, it's fifteen bucks. Fifteen bucks.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
I think it's fun. Everything's blind box now, why not?
I've never seen anyone try it to that level. I
think that's awesome. Other than the petnus later, when you
realize how great it is and you wish you had
ordered it, like, that's going to I see that being
the problem more than being upset that, oh I got
this horrible. It's not going to be horrible. And even
like o'h have a movie that's not my favorite, but
(01:06:25):
the bonus of that many bonus features too. You're covered
to bound to find something interesting. I think that's really
cool that they're doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Yeah, and I've got two people asking is this a
horror release? Not only is it a horror release to
try to put some people at ease, for another aspect,
all of the releases during the thirteen weeks of Halloween
are horror in some aspect. Every single one that we're
doing from now until Halloween, all of the home video
reveals are all horror related. So go to Town on that front,
(01:06:57):
it is all going to be horror, yes, in at
least some way, although there's I think one of the
hints that he gave was like one of them is
a splatter comedy, so it's at least horror adjacent. But yes,
it's a good time and I like that they're doing this.
And if you're excited about the Terror Vision stuff, I
will say since it's not a part of the announcements.
(01:07:19):
Tomorrow at five pm Eastern, we are live again for
the next week. What is this the third week? Fourth week?
What is I think this is the third week? Good lord,
I am busy lately, the third week of the thirteen
weeks of Halloween. Tomorrow live at five pm Eastern, we
are revealing what they kind of already revealed today, and
(01:07:41):
that is a new sub label for Terror Vision. And
if that is interesting to you, or if you've seen
the logo, or if you've already set the video to
save so it pops up tomorrow for you, it is
going to be called Death Nerve Video. Death Nerve Video.
It is something thing that Brad has claimed is fourteen
(01:08:01):
years in the making, and I can say that that
is accurate since I know the story behind it. Check
it out. It's a good time. Tomorrow's gonna be a
lot of fun. And I think one of the things
for terror Vision that I'm more excited about than a
lot of other things right now. So if that makes
you interested in hanging out tomorrow, come hang out. We'll
be live on this channel. Will also be live on
(01:08:22):
the TerrorVision YouTube channel. Stoke to hang out next. In print,
you mentioned as one of your favorite companies. They put
out a wild triptich of releases coming in October. All
three of these are gonna be four K. All three
are releasing on October twenty ninth. This first one is
a Hammer horror film from nineteen seventy one, Twins of Evil.
(01:08:45):
Have you seen Twins of Evil? Reachion.
Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
I've seen the other lesbian Hammer film with Ingried Pitt.
I've seen that one, but I have not seen this
one yet. So I would. I love Hammer so and
I don't have this one yet. So yeah, and Peter Cushion, Yeah,
everything good about it. And that is some beautiful packaging,
even though again I don't need four K, but I
know people do. But yeah, I'm good with classic Blu Ray.
Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Yeah, and I know this is one of those things
that people don't always praise Imprint for because they don't
do a lot of in house restoration work, but Twins
of Evil is one of their in house restorations, and
I bet this is going to look absolutely magnificent. Magnificent,
that's the work on four K. Twins of Evil is
a quite fun film. I really like this as part
(01:09:33):
of the Hammer story. This thing is going to be
limited to fifteen hundred copies. And on this we've got
a commentary by Kim Newman and Stephen Jones from twenty
twenty one, another one from Jonathan Rigby and Kevin Lyons
from twenty twenty one, new documentary called Bloodlines Inside Twins
of Evil from this year, we got the isolated music
and effects track, and then on the Blu ray disc
(01:09:54):
we've got all of those on top of some other
archival features, including the visual essay from two twenty one
by Kat Ellinger. We've got some other interviews and some featurettes,
a Super eight version of the film, a bunch of
other stuff, and of course a booklet coming in. This
is a sixty page hardcover booklet featuring over one hundred
photographs and a reprint of the original nineteen seventy one
(01:10:15):
press kit, and I gotta be honest, I love when
we do stuff like that, because those kind of things
don't get archived enough and eventually they just they don't exist.
You can't see him anymore. So the fact that we're
doing it, I love that we're doing it. This sounds
like a fun release and probably gonna be a great restoration.
Gat Next up, Carrie in four K. This is likely.
(01:10:39):
I don't know for a fact, but this has already
been released twice on four K. This is likely the
exact same four K scan that was done for a
Shout and for Arrow And as far as new features,
there are a total of no zero. I did not
miss any. There are no new features. Essentially, if you've
already got a four K release of this, you likely
don't need this. But if Carrie's your favorite movie, I
(01:11:00):
actually kind of really like the box heart they went
with here, and there is a flip image lenticular card
for it. They've got a card.
Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
I love that from a kid, like the scratching it.
I love the sound. I yeah, I'm a sucker for
those covers.
Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Yeah yeah, this looks great, Carrie. I'm sure this is
a movie you've seen multiple times.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Yeah, wells basic, I will follow her anywhere, Piper Laura. Yeah,
it's it's a good movie. And yeah, I don't know
that I'll be buying this edition, but I think it's
a great one if you don't have it, And it's
always you always assume like everyone's seen Carrie, but there
are tons of people who probably haven't yet, and you're
(01:11:43):
in for a ride, and it's definitely a classic for
a reason. And yeah, I'm glad it's you can never
have it too many times out there, so good for them.
Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Yep. And the other one that has been released quite
a bit is also Invasion of the Body Snatchers coming
on four K. This is the nineteen seven eight version
with Donald Sutherland. Of course, this one has a lenticular
hard box with the forty page booklet and six art
cards limited to fifteen hundred copies, and oh so many
new bonus features. Wait know the answer is zero. I
do wish that we got new things for these all
(01:12:15):
the time. However, it's just not even that feasible. Like
a lot has been said about Invasion of the Body
Snatchers and carry throughout the years, so I get it.
To a point. And that being said, if you're in Australia,
this is gonna be one of the best ways to
get the get the release, and if you're elsewhere, yeah,
probably don't need to get it and you probably already
have it anyways.
Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Yeah, keynote really seven to right, And yeah, yeah, I
prefer the original. The ovisional is fantastic. I'm not a
big a fan on the seventies version, even though I
know it has for a remake, it has a lot
of fans, but yeah, I'll stick with the original.
Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Yeah, I think it's very good too, I do. I
do prefer this one, but the original quite fun. I
don't know, nothing could beat Donald Sutherland.
Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
And then well, yes I agree.
Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Keita lover releasing A Bridge Too Far on four K soon.
And speaking of imprint, Imprint previously released this on four
K in a big hard box release and it was
quite expensive. So the big thing here is this will
likely be not quite expensive, much cheaper and if you
love this movie, that'll be the cheap way to get
this movie on four K, So looking forward to that.
(01:13:23):
Have you seen this one?
Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
I have seen that one because I'm a Dirk Bogert
fan and he's in there, and it's a pretty good one.
And I recently got in prints box that they did
another one. It's essentially war film, so it's one of
their Tales of Adventure ones and it had another bridge,
a bridge to Remagen because I guess keep going with
that title, but it made me appreciate with this film,
(01:13:47):
they have a parachute scene and it doesn't go well,
like people get lost. It just felt like things happened
that we're wrong. And in the imprint box that there's
a movie called counter Attack with Paul Muni and they
have a parachuting paratrooper scene and they just like cut
to them all walking in a group at the end
and everything's fine, And it just made me appreciate this
(01:14:09):
film where they show people getting stuck in trees and
all these things that you do not plan for a
perfect landing, and it just made me appreciate this film
more because in the other film, it's like they just
cut to them being on the ground. You didn't even
see them. I think they did like maybe a shot
of just not the actors parachuting and just cut to
them happily walking at the end, and it's like this
(01:14:31):
movie did it a lot better. So yeah, I if
you like war films, this is a very and sometimes
like when they have that ensemble cast, I kind of
like cringe, like it's like, oh, it's too good to
be true with that many great actors in it. But
this is actually, I think one of the better ones.
If you can say you enjoy a war film, this
is a one of the better ones.
Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
I've not seen this one, but this one came up
a lot recently with the gene Hackmans passing. And when
you look at a cast like this, again, kind of
hard to turn away when you realize in one movie
James Cohn, Sean Connery, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Dick Bogard,
Anthony Frickin Hopkins. And if that's not even enough for you, okay,
you can also have Laurence Olivier and Ryan O'Neill live
(01:15:15):
Olman even like there's so many names in this absolutely crazy.
All right, let's keep going to some Criterion stuff. Maybe
the most controversial of this week's announcements. November twenty fifth,
we are getting four K and blu ray releases from
Criterion of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut from ninety nine.
(01:15:37):
This is a new four K digital restoration of the
international version of the film, which means it is the
uncut version that's not the US censored version, supervised and
approved by the DP. Larry Smith. You've got a new
interview with Smith as well. There's a couple other people
that were involved on the technical side, newly interviewed, some
archival interviews with the wife of Stanley. We've got Never
(01:15:59):
Just a Dream for twenty nineteen with interviews with some
of the producers and others involved as well, and then
Lost Kubrick The Unfinished Films with Stanley Kubrick from two
thousand and seven, Kubrick Remember from twenty fourteen with interviews
as well, and then the nineteen ninety eight acceptance speech
for the dga's d W. Griffith Award press conference. From
ninety nine teasers, trailers, all that fun stuff, and then
(01:16:19):
an essay by the author Megan Abbott, and a ninety
nine interview with Sidney Pollock. Eyes wide shut. Is this
something that you're interested in?
Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
I tried it to tell you the truth, and I
think it's more stubbornness than anything else. I've kind of
avoided Kubrick, like just he's like one of those like
film school ones that everyone falls over and maybe deservedly
so I haven't gone enough until I've like deliberately avoided it,
and like I did try this one. It just like
(01:16:49):
sometimes it feels like overkill, and like I said, I
haven't seen it enough. I could be watch get into
his films one day and totally say I was wrong.
I'm sorry, But yeah, I guess kind of like have
this aversion to like cow he can do no wrong.
And yeah, I do love Nicole Kidman. I did try
(01:17:11):
this one, but yeah, it's not my favorite. And yeah,
I think it was on the Criterion channel once and
I tried it.
Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
But yeah, yeah, I understand and agree with a lot
of that. This isn't anywhere, Like this isn't even top
I don't know seven Kubrick for Me or anything like that.
But that being said, it absolutely fits Criterion. It's a
good Christmas movie. It's a good subversive movie. I mean
the fact that we get Tom Cruise in a film
(01:17:39):
about this, with this happening in the movie, and like
looking back in twenty twenty five, this is one of
the things, one of those things where you go, wow,
he actually did that. That's kind of crazy. So yeah,
it's nice that this is getting a nice, proper release.
I will say I thought it was hilarious seeing everybody
argue about this art. The cover art here, as they said,
(01:18:01):
is new cover based on an original poster by Katerine
Ku Kubrick and Christianne Kubrick. This was rejected poster art
way back in ninety nine, and Criterion said rejected, my
let's put it on the cover. And everybody went, oh god,
that's hideous, and the other the other half of the
crowd went, no, it's beautiful because it's associated with Kubrick.
(01:18:21):
I don't know, it kind of fits the aesthetic of
the film. I get it. That being said, this isn't
like a poster I would hang on the wall. I
don't think I like.
Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
The bold collars. Yeah, I don't have a problem with
the cover right at all. No, And yeah, I think
that's kind of a cool story, Like it speaks to
what you said before, like these things that get lost,
like the press books, these posters that were rejected. It's
like I like that they find a way to bring
them back, even if people hate it. Yeah, I think
it's cool. I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Yes, it's it's it's certainly bold, all right. The rest
of the month was pretty big for Criterion as well.
I am curious how you feel about this one. The
next one, November fourth, they're putting out a four K
of The Breakfast Club. How do any make you feel
about that?
Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Okay, just start stomping on more people's childhood favorites. I'm
not a big John Hughes person. I'm one of the
people like pretty in Pink, she should have picked Ducky.
I'm done. I just get annoyed with the character choices
so much. I have seen Breakfast Club and yeah, I'm
I know it's the anniversary years, so they should be
(01:19:29):
getting a nice release date. Is there of it? But
yet it just doesn't have not connected with me so much.
Just overall his filmography. I didn't relate to the teenagers
in those movies.
Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
I get it. I do love John Hughes a lot. Okay,
and I still think this is one of the most
overrated films in this filmography. I don't understand how many
people are still so dedicated to this movie. I feel
like this does not hold up all that great. I
definitely won't get the four K go the Blu Ray.
That's enough for me. Yeah, the Breakfast Club. Most people
(01:20:04):
have seen it, and no new extras because it's Criterion.
Next one that we talked about last month, House Party,
coming on four K and Blu Ray from Criterion on
November eleventh, and this one is the director's approved four
K and Blu Ray special Edition, new four K digital restoration,
supervised by the DP and approved by the writer director.
(01:20:24):
This is going to have a new audio commentary with Huddland,
new conversation between Hudland, the producer Warrington Hudland, and the
film scholar Rock Hill Gates, new cast reunion featuring a
bunch of the actress from the film stoked that they're
doing that. We've got House Party from eighty three, the
student short by Reginald Hudland on which the feature is based,
and then we've got a new cover by Gabe Tiberino
which I love this art here and then we got
(01:20:47):
an essay by the author Michael Harriet. Have you seen
House Party?
Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
I have not, but been. Everybody got excited by it.
I immediately watched the trailer. I love the eraserhead reference from
the trailer. I love the danc thing. I'm definitely, just
from everyone's reaction. It's just like, ooh, this is exciting,
and yeah, I've never heard of it before, but that's like,
like that does sound like it has some really cool
bonus features and new new bonus features like the union. Yeah,
(01:21:12):
I'm I did not know about it before, but I'm
definitely interested now from watching and just seeing everybody get
excited about it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Yeah. I when I stubbled across that YouTube video last
month and posted the announcement for this, so many people
were like house parties not coming on Criteria, I was like,
just wait and here is exactly like I said, I'm
so stoked that this is happening. I cannot believe that
we're getting the original short that inspired this. I can't
(01:21:39):
believe that, you know, all these years later, it has
been thirty five years and Kid and Play are getting
a Criterion release Like that is mind blowing and I
love it and it deserves all the attention it is.
It is going to be just absolutely great. Can't wait
to get this in November.
Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
I like that's a new title too, Like, I know
there's an importance to putting it out on four K,
but it's taken away someone like the new title is like, oh,
it's just a new release of the same one they
already have out. But I just like, this is one
that we haven't seen in the collection yet, and I
those are the ones I personally, like I said, I
don't do four K. I get more excited about the
ones that have never been there. So, yeah, this looks awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
Yeah, it's gonna be a good one. And this is it.
I mean, it'll be on sale in November when it
comes out, so it'll be a day one for me.
Next one that ashamedly I have not seen yet, but
it has been on my watch list for though.
Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
The movie that Oh Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
November eleventh, we're getting a four K and Blu ray
release here of Burden of Dreams from eighty two and yes,
speaking of Fitzgaraldo. This is a documentary following Werner Herzog
trying to complete one of the most ambitious and difficult
films ever Fitscroaldo. As we have seen before the previous
release that came out on DVD, this includes things like
(01:23:04):
Werner Herzog eats his shoe, one of the most famous
bonus features of all time. We've got a audio commentary
with Les Blank we've got interview with Herzog. All of
these are are older. There's a new subtitle translation, and
then an essay by film scholar Paul Arthur in a
book of excerpts from Blanks and Goslings production journals. Tell
(01:23:24):
me about FITZGERALDO and why I desperately need Burden of Dreams?
Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
Rachel, Well, first, you just need Fitzgaraldo. I wish it
had been able to be like a double feature relase
like I think Shout released it, so maybe there was
the right thing. But I would have loved a double
feature of the documentary and the movie. Yeah, I love
Warner Harzog. The Greer is my favorite, but Fitzgaraldo is
a close second, and any documentary because that boat. And well,
(01:23:52):
if it's a Warner Harthzrog movie, you're gonna be in
the elements. It's gonna be real rough and tough. And uh,
why actors would agree? Wrote because it's klaus Kinski. So
that's how always most actors would not agree to do
the kind of films that Warner herz Dog did. And
there's really out in the element and dangerous and probably
(01:24:15):
not safe in any way. And yeah, what they do
with that boat and how they make it move on land,
And yeah, I don't think I've seen this documentary, Like
I've seen bonus features on Fitzgeraldough which, like I start
mixing up in my head, but I don't think I've
actually seen a documentary. But it's a great movie. Definitely
prioritize watching the movie first. But yeah, and just hearing
(01:24:35):
Warner Herzog talk whenever he does, like appears on talk
shows now I will listen to him. I think he's
just fascinating. He's like Warner Herzog and Johnten Waters. If
they do an interview, I will watch it because anything
they say is gold. Then Yeah, so a documentary from
that time on one of the craziest bonkers How did
(01:24:57):
they not they survive that movie? Yeah, it's a good time,
and it's just the whole time. You just it doesn't
feel real, like you would never see these movies today
because they'd be cgi, they would not go to those locations,
and they just did it. And yeah, it's ambitious, and yeah,
(01:25:20):
I don't think that'll be happening again anytime soon on
this level.
Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
I love I love that original line from you. You
have to think, how did they make this movie. And
the answer is because it's klaus Kinski is the only
reason would make.
Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
And because it's Yeah, they together, there's a reason they
are so tight. I mean one of her songs down
other films Coskinski's, but they are so tightly associated together
for a reason. The films they did as a team
or memorable for all the create Yeah, I will. I
would want that. And I like the cover. It makes
him look like a hero pose. It's great.
Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
I need that one for sure. The other thing that
we talked about last month is the return of the
Eclipse series, and not only is it returning, it is
upgrading to Blu Ray. So November eighteenth, we are getting
a Blu Ray set of this Abbas Kiristami early shorts
and features covering from nineteen seventy to eighty nine. And
there's a lot of things here. I could probably read
(01:26:18):
through these really quickly. We got bread Nally a break
time experience, The Traveler. Two solutions for one problem, So
can I colors a wedding suit Tribute to teachers Solution
number one first k second case toothache orderly or disorderly.
The chorus fellows it is in first Graders and Homework,
and these are two k restorations undertaken by MK two
and collaboration with Rich Travada. You've all heard that name before.
(01:26:40):
We've also got an essay by a Sean Cousbacht that
is in this release. Again, Eclipse is something that people
that have been diehard Criterion fans for a long time,
they know what like panache is held in that line.
And the fact that we're getting upgrades of many of
these and new ones coming is very exciting. I feel like, uh,
(01:27:01):
this is going to be a really interesting time to
see these coming out, to see Radiance doing these prestige
releases over in the UK, and you know Eureka with
their Masters of Cinema stuff, uh, Kino putting out some
of their classics things that they do. It is an
incredible time for physical media. Are you excited about this one?
Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Extremely? I will say I'm not very familiar with here
at Sami's work, but just in general, the clips line
coming back, it's fantastic. I already said lu Bitches Musicals,
which I have the DVD once, but I would follally
upgrade that because I love Miriam Hopkins and lou Bitch
and I'm really hoping the key kars Maki one, which
was originally like his match Book Girl films, I'm hoping
(01:27:44):
that will get upgraded. So and like the early OZ films,
like I have a few at these sets because I'm
not as much of I will versus waiting for it
and not owning it at all, I will usually get
the DVD. So I think it's really cool. I'm interested
to see how they balance. It's like the upgrades versus
new Eclipse sets that we haven't seen yet. But I
(01:28:06):
think if I'm glad it's continuing, I know Embojin, I'm
sarah smissus behind it and anything she does it's going
to be great. So yeah, I'm really excited about this news.
And yeah, it's just you find some really there's some
really good films, and I know it as like a
like a Japanese Western. I'm like cult something that's on
one of the sets. And yeah, I'm just very curious
(01:28:29):
to see how they're going to balance and how often
they're going to be. They're going to be every month,
every other month. I'm curious what the scheduling is going
to be.
Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
Like, yeah, very curious about that. Actually, this is Uh,
this is exciting. I'm glad that that they're doing it,
and again, Imagen kind of yeah. It is kind of
hard to describe what Imagen can do, because she can
make any any criterion auteur. She can make any criterion
(01:28:58):
focused genre, any of these things beyond not just entertaining
but engrossing. Even the way that she is accessible about
these things is what makes her the perfect arbiter for
a series like this, because without them being accessible and
not just like in an actual I am able to
purchase them, but in a not only am I able
(01:29:19):
to I genuinely want to, is she's making these like
welcoming to newcomers, and that's incredibly important for movies.
Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Yeah, I think Karen, sorry, but I think Arin vest
might be here. Today. I did his Senate Journey class
that he had hosted. Emogen taught this class on Palin
Pressburger films, and I think she has like another class
coming eventually, And if you're at all interested in that,
it was fantastic, Like every Tuesday you have to go
through Palin Pressburger's filmography and it was just a blest
(01:29:50):
hearing her talk and being able to ask her questions.
And I was too nervous to go on camera for
that one, but technically you can actually visually speak with
her if you want. I just did the typing, but
it was a really great time. And it's just like, Ooh,
this person that I love from the Blu rays is
real and I've in the same chatmoom Vifer and it
just the Sina Journey website. It's great. And yeah, anything
(01:30:14):
she does is gold.
Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Aaron says, she's the best, and she's really excited for
Eclipse coming back undoubtedly, and yeah, shout out sin Journeys.
Everybody doesn't checked them out, go check out Sina Journeys.
This very exciting as well. November eighteenth, we're getting four
K and Blu Ray releases of Hell's Angels from nineteen
thirty for those that have not seen it. This one
another Gene Harlow film. This one, directed by Howard Hughes,
(01:30:40):
says a high flying feat of adventure filmmaking and a
testament to the audacious, spare no expense vision of Howard Hughes.
This landmark aviation epic remains exhilarating both for its daredevil
aerial sequences and its nerve pre code punch with the
onset of World War One, two British brothers recruited to
the Royal Flying Corps. Ben Lyon and James Hall are
the ones playing the brothers. There find their bond tested
(01:31:01):
by their differing attitudes toward the war and their love
for the same woman played by gen Harlowe in her
bombshell breakthrough. The product of a notoriously long and dangerous
production that resulted in the deaths of multiple crew members,
Hell's Angels broke new technical ground, making use of early
sound and color technologies and capturing some of the most
thrilling and dogfight scenes ever filmed. And I got to say,
(01:31:23):
one of the best cover art for Criterion that they've
done in years, and I will stand behind that. I
think this is remarkable poster. This is one that I
would put on my wall in a heartbeat. New four
K digital restoration of the Magnuscope road show version with
uncompressed Mono soundtrack. I get a four K disk and
(01:31:44):
a Blu Ray disc with the movie in special features,
new interview with Robert Logatto, the visual effects supervisor for
the Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator. We got a new
interview with the critic Faar and Smith name about actor
Gene Harlow, outtakes and rushes from the film, with commentary
by the Harlow biographer David Sten and then an essay
by the author and journalist Fred Kaplan. Got to shout
out the artists on the cover, Sam Hadley, this looks amazing.
(01:32:06):
I know you're super into this.
Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
Yeah, definitely. I mean, I have watched this film before
and it is a lot of the planes that Howard
Hughes loves, and a lot more planes than I would
need in a movie. But then Howard Hughes also gave
me one of my favorite Vincent Price movies, His Kind
of Woman, which was a recent one archive where Vincent
(01:32:29):
Price it basically gets on a boat in the boat sink.
Then it's just the most hilarious moment and bad when
like to watch them. That one actually did have a commentary,
and it's a horrible budget move, like they made a
tank of water just so they could have this sinking
scene and it was and I think the takes and
it was freezing, and it just sounds like it was
horrible conditions. Because that's the Howard Hughes film. People end
(01:32:52):
up dead. Apparently it's the making of it. It doesn't
end well, but in that time I like the instant
here it's just too much of his plane obsession, but
it's still Jean Harlow, I'm glad this is coming out.
I think the bonus features sound cool to actually, because
I think I like hearing about how the plane stunts
for done Mord and I like watching them. But it's
(01:33:15):
still a good movie, and so I think it's great
that's coming out.
Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
Well, if somehow that's not enough for you. From Criterion.
Last up this month, November eighteenth, four K blu ray
and DVD releases of a little known filmmaker boone Well's
l from nineteen fifty three. This is so great that
we're getting a release like this new four K digital
restoration supervised by the photographer Gabriel Figureau Flores director of
(01:33:42):
photography Gabriel Figureau's son. This is going to have a
new visual essay on Boonwell by the scholar Geordie. Is
a Fira appreciation by the filmmaker Gamerel del Toro, up
and coming name. You might have heard of him. Interview
with boon Well from eighty one. We've got a panel
discussion from two thousand and nine, moderated by Jose Lewis
(01:34:05):
Garci and then a essay by critic Fernandez Solizarno and
an interview with boon Weell by critics Jose de la
Kalina and Thomas Perez Trent. New cover art here also
very striking for this one. It's it's simple and minimalists.
But I actually really like this one.
Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
On my wall. I love this just reminds me of
every great clock tower scene, whether it's Vertigo, Black Narcissists.
I haven't seen this one, but right very like the
history of clock tower scene that makes me I have
seen like some you now like a seen belldejor fantastic. Yeah,
I have not seen this one, but yeah, I definitely
want to see what they're doing on that clocktar and
(01:34:45):
whether it and as badly as things usually do from
that height.
Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Yeah, it's exciting. I love that this is coming out,
and just like in the chat, was said, hopefully the
first of many of the Boonoel Mexican films, so we
shall see what the future holds next up. We don't
talk a lot about the premium releases because a lot
of times we don't find out until after they're sold out,
but this one is actually going up for sale tomorrow,
(01:35:12):
so coming out December first. We get a four K
steel book coming in the UK and available to pre
order tomorrow Friday, August twenty second at eight pm BST
from Astrocreations. That is twenty eighteen's Annihilation. These are one
click sets, or you can get the single steel books,
which one clicks are kind of crazy. If you love
(01:35:33):
this movie, you go in and get three versions of
the exact same disc in three different steal books. Wild
some good art. Annihilation is a movie that can lead
to some very surreal imagery, so I'm glad that they
got some good art on these. These are going to
be twin bost which means they're going to be embossed
and debossed steel books, which is really great. You can
(01:35:54):
be able to do a group buy for this on
Media Pyicos, on Deeboss steel Books, on High Def Ninja,
or you can order it from their website. You've also
got a whole bunch of different options, three different cover
arts if you're going to go for the full slip
lots to cover. Have you seen Annihilation?
Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
I have not seen it.
Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
This is the Alex Garland Films, starring Natalie Portman and
Jennifer Jason. It's an interesting movie. It's one of the better,
better Alex Garland films in my opinion. But yeah, this
is for the crazies, like if this is one of
your favorite movies of all time, that's when you consider
(01:36:35):
something like this. Otherwise, this is a whole lot of movie,
or sorry, a whole lot of money for not a
whole lot of movie. And it gets very expensive, very
very all right, Moving to our next one, from Annihilation
to Annihilation in a way, Death Wish three from nineteen
eighty five come to four K from Keno on October
(01:36:58):
twenty eighth. They got a brand new four K Dolby
vision Master from this one and a new commentary by
Steve Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson. Love that they're doing that.
They've got the alternate ending also brand newly restored and
in HDR and SDR. They've also got commentary by Steve
Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson on that one. Check out Death
(01:37:18):
Wish three if you somehow have never done it. I
have not, but I either.
Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
Okay with the Death Fish series, you have to watch
them in order like, I know, this is like they're
doing specifically three, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Do you have to see one in two first or
it probably holds up some but well it'll probably help
a little bit that way. But I from what I've
been told, this is a bit of a dissent into
madness if you go into order, just because of him
aging through all of these and the way that his
(01:37:53):
character changes through all of these. So yeah, when I
watch all of them, I'm going to watch them all
at order, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know if there was continuity consistency,
if it was just the title that they kept repeating,
and but yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
Okay, I know, like Gary said, he says, I love
how silly they get. So basically it's it's a descent
into silliness for sure. All Right. So that's Death Wish three.
Next up for Whom the Bell Tolls from nineteen forty three,
coming on Blu Ray from Keno on October twenty eighth.
This is a Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman film. This
(01:38:27):
is gonna have a new HD master from a four
K scan of the UCLA film elements. We've also got
the roadshot version on here and then a new audio
commentary by David del Val and Dan Marino, not that
Dan Marino, but the other one for whom the bell tolls.
Have you seen this one?
Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
I have not. I'm not a big Hemingway fan, which
doesn't mean the movie can't be good, but just at
an English major, me and heming may to not get along,
but I would be interested. I yeah, overall, just overall,
I find films adapted from Hemingway books are not my favorite.
But also, like David Ovall, he was recently on a
(01:39:07):
Keynote release of Sovia Sindi Films and that was fantastic,
So I know the commentary will be good. But yeah,
not immediately just from my English major grudge against Hemingway,
not an immediate cell. But it looks like a good
release of it.
Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Yeah, glad to see that coming out next up November fourth.
One that is exciting to me for sure. Classic Flicks
and Cartoon Logic are teaming up to put out Asops
Fables the nineteen twenties Volume one. This was a Kickstarter
or Indiegogo sort of release that was fundraised for a
while ago, and this thing is covering from nineteen twenty
one to nineteen twenty eight. And these are sourced from
(01:39:49):
the best surviving elements and they were archived at Blackhawk Films,
who do really great with restoration stuff. I'm glad to
see this is a volume one. I hope they're able
to get around a volume two and can get that
funded as well. Well. Some bonus stuff on here. They've
got an alternate Commonwealth cut of Dinner Time and two
Charlie Chaplin shorts by Paul's older brother John Terry. Either way,
(01:40:10):
fun look and release. I've seen some of these from
way back in the day. I've not seen these in
a long long time, but these, being as public domain
as they have been for quite some time, you've probably
seen at least clips from these. And if you don't
recognize the name, or if you're listening to this on
the podcast later, if you look at the art, that
might spark a memory for you. But yeah, these are
(01:40:31):
these are very classic. You you've probably seen these sort
of everywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:40:35):
Yeah, I don't think I have, but I love I
love the art and I love those style cartoons. So yeah,
this looks very good. Yeah, just said that was the twenties.
It's just amazing to think time it just they look
looks like this could be a modern cartoon, in't it. Yeah,
it's just amazing that it's already one hundred years old.
And yeah, that looks like a really cool set.
Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
Uh. And on top of that, again, we're getting restored
versions of stuff that's older than one hundred years of animation.
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
The public domain two. I like that there's been more
public domain titles because like some people don't, they just
ignore it. But it's the difference in quality is night
and day. When you see the restorations, that looks like
a cool one.
Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
Yeah, I mean, look at what Criterion did for Neither
Living Dead.
Speaker 3 (01:41:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
Hey, we talked about this at the beginning of Sidney
Sweeney's new movie. Americana is getting a Blu ray release
on October twenty eighth from Lionsgate. Honestly, I like this enough.
I might pick this one up. Good movie. Okay, Uh,
these movies, these are definitely racial movies. I guarantee that
October two.
Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
I haven't seen them. I've just seen like I know
the figure, I know the Thurly guy, but I have
not seen them early guy. But but yeah, I definitely
want to try one. But yeah, I have not stove
into that franchise.
Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
Yet I would say the first Saw movie is not
like any of the other Saw movies. It's a genuinely
tense and compelling thriller, and then the other one sort
of devolve into like the torture porn type of stuff
that have got too later. But yeah, it's it's one
of my favorite franchises, so I won't say too I'm biased.
October twenty First, we are getting a four K Steel
(01:42:20):
Book of Saw two from two thousand and five. Not
a lot to go into here. It looks like from
the back cover that they posted that this is just
the R rated cut. Getting a four K version of
this From what I'm hearing, a lot of the lions
Gate titles from the two thousands, for some reason, have
not been archived to be able to get the unrated versions.
(01:42:42):
So for many of these, you're only going to be
able to get the four K of this because they're
not going to take the time to like go cut
from a DVD and intercut that into the four K
scan of the OCN. Because these aren't just like adding
in deleted scenes. There's like seventy five plus edits on
some of these movies, and that is a lot of
time and energy that a studio just isn't willing to
(01:43:03):
do something like a vinegar Syndrome or a terror vision
or a deaf crocodile or like Classic Flip that we
just talked about. They're willing to take the time to
recut in some of that studios they just don't see
the money in it unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
Really though, like if you're a fan of that, like
it would make you keep the DVDs. But yeah, if
you're putting out a night and yeah, that really sucks.
Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
It does suck. But that being said, there's still great movies.
I even love the theatrical versions. But the cool thing
is we're gonna talk about three of them tonight, and
all three of them have new bonus features which we
don't get from Criteria a lot of the time. No,
I love this one. We've got these are all three
of these are the ones that were directed by Darren
Lyn Bousman, who is from the metro area here in
(01:43:48):
the Kansas City where I live. So yeah, Darren Lynn Bausman,
we got him speaking on looking back on these films.
We've got Tobin Bell in a new interview on Saw
Too and then establishing shot with Darren Bosman and the
theatrical trailer on here. These are all three coming on
October twenty First, we're gonna talk about the other two
in just a second, but this somehow came out in
(01:44:10):
between these. Well, Go USA is putting out an Amazon
exclusive Blu Ray DVD of the Last run In from
twenty twenty four. I don't think there's any extras on this.
It sucks that it's an Amazon exclusive. I've heard this is okay,
But let's get back to Saw again because Saw three
is also coming out and again three new extras. We've
got making your own choices Darren lind Baseman looking back.
(01:44:32):
We've got Tobin Bell speaking on it, and then the
trailer is available on here, and then Saw four same thing.
We're getting a brand new steel book on that same day,
Darren lind Baseman looking back, an interview with Tobin Bell
and the trailer. So yeah, really cool that all three
of these are getting a release on the same day.
I've had a lot of people ask does this mean
we're gonna get a box set of all of them
on four K Sadly, probably not, because many of the
(01:44:55):
old like the later Saw films, they're gonna look terrible
in four K with their their cheap CGI that they
were forced to use. They're still good movies and I
like them, but I highly doubt that you're gonna get
a four K of SAU seven anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
How many Saw movies are there at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
I believe there are ten, okay, or maybe it's even
eleven because we had Spiral from the Book of Saw,
which is the Chris Rock one, So yeah, I can't remember.
There are ten or eleven. They're all worth watching. One
of my favorites a Saw six. It is the one
that is a basically a satire lampooning the US healthcare
system and how it is, which I've had to face
(01:45:36):
this week on behalf of my wife and kids. So yeah,
it is really great. Simmonars says, they're eleven Saw films,
so yeah, okay, Saw and Not it's a ton. They
were releasing them every year for like seven years in
a row. It was crazy, ten mainline films, and then
we got Spiral from the Book of Saw next, a
(01:45:59):
film that I had not heard of until this announcement
September twenty ninth. Over in the UK, we are getting
from Kaleidoscope. They are putting out The Man in the
White Van on Blu Ray. This is from twenty twenty
four with Sean Aston and Olie Larder from Final Destination
and Heroes. Nothing else on this disc but the film.
But looking at reviews, it sounds kind of decent. It's
(01:46:22):
supposed to be tense and a good little thriller.
Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
Yes seventy I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
Yeah, next up from this year, Pete Davidson in The Home.
We're gonna be talking about this one in a few minutes,
so I'm gonna just go real quickly on this one.
Lionsgate is putting out a wide Blu ray release of
this on September twenty third, and we'll come back to
that more in a moment, but first woke up to
the exciting news for those that have not picked up
(01:46:49):
any of the previous three releases. October fourteenth, we are
getting a four K Alfred Hitchcock box set called The
Ultimate Collection. So this has all three of the previously
released four K box sets from Alfred Hitchcock, and then
on top of that they also added in North by Northwest,
So if you have all three of those box sets,
(01:47:10):
this should not be compelling in any way unless you
were in desperate need to save a tiny bit of
space on your shelf. But other than that, this is
cool because you get like a booklet with it, but
you probably don't need that if you got the other
three already. I'm assuming you're you're a you're a hitch.
Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
I do have actually haven't upgraded mine yet. I have
all like that was one of the first directors I remember,
Chris Smiths. I would get a ton of them like
that was one of the first directors where I deliberately
went out to get DVDs and actually follow a director
with filmography that was really He was the first one,
and I think the first one I did with Real
Window and then I went to Verdigo and yeah, so
(01:47:48):
I actually haven't. I still have the original DVDs that
I watched in elementary school, and yeah, so I've never
actually upgraded it. So I love that box art and
I think that's a ver version of it too, So yeah,
I probably should upgrade it because they're fantastic and North
Binos rest I'm glad that's included because that's one of
my favorites. So that looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:48:11):
The big thing about Hitchcock is he is such a
beloved director that he has gotten so many beautiful releases
throughout the years. It's kind of hard to get excited
about every new one when they've all kind of just
been very compelling. I love these movies, obviously love him
as a director. The release, I expected it to be
(01:48:33):
much more expensive. I just sent this in the chat
because somebody had asked this whole thing, which is is
it's crazy because you're getting was it fifteen fifteen films
on four K and a brand new on release date
from Groove? This is one hundred and twenty five dollars.
That is very cheap for fifteen four K discs.
Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's really like, Yeah, if you already have them,
you don't need it. But if you haven't, it's the
Effect collection.
Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
Yeah, absolutely not a bad price at all. No, speaking
of re released City the Lord already got the getting
its standalone four K steel book in let's see October fourteenth,
coming from Warner Brothers. This is the same four K
as before, same steel book as before, just not stuck
(01:49:23):
in the box set. So if you wanted this one
by itself, there you go. This one has been talked
about to death. So we're done talking about that one.
The next one we had just talked about the Home,
So let's dive into this one. On that same day
as that Lionsgate Blu ray they're going to be releasing
from the Lionsgate Limited site. They are doing a four
K release for the Home. Now, this is the brand
new twenty twenty five Pete Davidson led horror film. This
(01:49:47):
is going to be in a paper based digipacks. This
is not one of their steel book releases. It's got
an audio commentary with the director and the producer on here.
That's a making of a trailer. Now the movie itself,
I think I've already seen at least one person in
the chat saying that they want Pete Davidson to go away.
I gotta be honest, Pete Davidson was the best part
of this movie. It's not a good movie, but Pete
(01:50:11):
Davidson was not what led to that. The script was
what led to that. It's a terrible, terribly written film.
That being said, you might be into it, but Pete
Davidson wasn't bad. Here it is the Home. Check it out.
Next up, we got some anime things to talk about.
I don't know much about anime. Are you an anime
at all?
Speaker 3 (01:50:30):
No? Other than i'd like the Helmeazaki stuff. No, I'm
definitely don't have a background.
Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
Then I will blaze right through the November fourth we
are getting a Blu Ray steal book from crunchy Roll of
Dragon Ball Super Brawley from twenty eighteen. I think this
is just a re release. The same art has been
used on another steel book, so check that out if
you're into it. Next up November eighteenth, from crunchy Roll
as well, we're getting a limited release and a standard
release of My Hero Academia Season seven, Part two, And man,
(01:50:58):
do they really like to exploit anim fans because a
season seven needs two parts to be released? Come on,
and just this part two is like eighty bucks. It's
kind of kind of crazy. So that's that one. Let's
get into some of these Warner Archive releases though. October fourteenth,
we are getting a bunch of collections. This first one
Betty Davis. This is covering from nineteen thirty eight to
(01:51:19):
nineteen forty when she was a very busy lady. We
get the Letter Dark, Victory, Jezebel, and the Private Lives
of Elizabeth and Essex. Tell me about Betty Davis. There, Rachel.
Speaker 3 (01:51:30):
This is a really good collection, and I'm super excited
because I've been wanting to get Jezebel, and now this
is the perfect excuse. Jesse above my favorite in the set.
There's a scene in that where basically, well it's Betty
Davis and she wears the wrong colored dress to an event.
It's also Henry Fonda, and it's just its most iconic scene.
(01:51:50):
There's always that one scene in the Betty Davis movie,
like with the Letter, it's at the opening scene where
she comes out with a gun right away and like
before the movie we even started just like right gets
into action mode. The Letter's the only one I have
private lives of Elizabeth and Essex is a really good one.
It's not like one of the stuffy period dramas. It's
really good. It's para erwol Flynn. Yeah, that one's fantastic.
(01:52:13):
And the only one I haven't seen at all is
Dark Victory. But I'm definitely picking this up because, like
I said, I was just so happy. I've been wanting
to get Jezebel. It's been on my list forever, and
now it's like, excuse I'm getting this? Yeah, this is
a good Like I said, I don't know Dark Victory,
but the other three alone, it's a good set, especially
if you don't have any of these.
Speaker 2 (01:52:34):
Yeah, And that's probably should say for these collections because
I know a lot of people over the years have
become we'll say trepidacious about film collections like this orner
Archive is not about you being worried. So these releases,
these are the exact same discs as the single releases.
They're not including anything new necessarily, but these are great
(01:52:54):
starter packs if you don't have any of them. Yeah,
it does get a little dicey, like if you've got
two of them, this might be a goodbye still because
the price will get it into that just a second.
But you don't have to worry like they're not putting
all four of these on one disc or anything. These
are the exact same author discs that were done previously
as standalone discs, So this is a full four disc set.
You got nothing to worry about there. The big draw
(01:53:17):
here is this is gonna be pretty cheap. When this
comes out on pre order, this is probably only gonna
be like thirty two bucks and for four highly acclaimed
films starring Bettie Frick and Davis. That is incredible for
like good restorations for good not compressed discs. You're gonna
be quite happy with that. And when we start talking
about some of these other ones, it's a lot of
(01:53:38):
the same. You're gonna be getting a lot of discs
for a lot of really great films, and it's hard
to argue with the Only part that sucks is if
you've already got some or even one of these movies,
you're like, well, damn it, Like I gotta buy the
same movie, just gift it to a friend. And yes, Craig,
these are full releases. I know you love that phrase.
I'm gonna use that every time. Now full releases, full release.
(01:53:59):
Here we go. Next up six film collection of the
great Judy Garland, and got some big time movies in
this one. We've got Strike Up the Band, Girl Crazy,
Meet Me in Saint Louis, in the good old Summertime,
Summer Stock and this little herd of movie called A
Star Is Born. Are you a Are you a Judy
Garland fan?
Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
Yeah, it's my mom's favorite actress. I'm definitely a fan,
and I think the unsung film, like of course they're
like the classics. The Stand a Star Is Born and
Meet Me in Saint Lui are probably the strongest films
of it. On Summer Stock isn't the best movie, but
has some of the most iconic music numbers, so like
you can't skip it because it it has come on,
(01:54:40):
Come On, get Happy, which they put on the cover
because like it's not a great plot, but it's Yeah,
the music numbers are great. But to me, the unsung
one is Girl Crazy, which I only recently saw, and
it's this great music number. I don't remember what it's called,
but rere like they do this a whole country song
and that there's this choreography but a lean and it's
(01:55:02):
I think that's the one, the unsung one. A lot
of them, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland's aren't always the strongest.
I know. One of them has black faith in it,
so there are some flaws, but that one is the
one that I don't think, like people might already own
the others, and like I said, you said, if you
already own them, and I have a good amount that
this one. Pollyn verth that I just need to get
(01:55:23):
Girl Crazy on as a standalone one day. But that
one is I think the one that no one's going
to be talking about. But that's my favorite on this set. Well,
actually meet Me and sant louis a classic fruit. It's
like sometimes it gets talked about so much that you forget, well, yeah,
there's a reason for it. Yeah yeah, but this is
a good collection, especially if you don't have it.
Speaker 2 (01:55:44):
I think this is the one that gets me the most.
What I was just talking about where you already have
some I think I already have three of these, and
I've wanted the other three, and now it's like, well, gosh,
dang it, like this is still the perfect way to
do these, and this is probably gonna come out it,
I don't know, like forty five fifty and that's a
great deal. But like, like for you, if you if
you're only missing one of these, perhaps somebody's gonna buy
(01:56:06):
this and sell that one disc that you need and
maybe that price will be cheaper. So that's great, but gosh,
it does suck when you've got some of them, because yeah,
this is one I loved. The Pirate was.
Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
On this, I wouldn't have been able to resist it,
because that's one I've been wanting to upgrade, and I
love The Pirate, but I think that's really the only
one I need need And like, I don't have to
strike up a band, but I probably don't need that one.
But yeah, I probably just get Girl Crazy on its own.
But it's still a good set.
Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
This comment is so perfect. Gary says Clang Clang Klang,
went my interest. Oh Man, Big disc says A Stars
Burn is one of the greatest movies ever made. In
my opinion, I can watch it forever as you should.
As you should. We got more of these coming. First,
We've got gosh a really great six film set here
(01:56:54):
this again same day. All of these are coming on
October fourteenth. This is the Hollywood Legends of Horror collection.
And this has The Devil Doll, Doctor X, Mad Love,
Mark of the Vampire, The Mask of Fu Manshue, and
the Return of Doctor X, which is not a sequel
to Doctor X. It's a very different thing. God Great said,
any of these that you want to shout out or highlight, Yeah,
(01:57:15):
I have.
Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
Five of the six I will not be getting. The
only one I don't have is the Fu Manchu one.
Speaker 2 (01:57:21):
But that's probably the least of the.
Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
Yeah, exactly. I'm not getting addressed with that one, but yeah,
this is a I haven't watched the return of Doctor X.
I'm saving that for October, but I do have it.
Mad Love Peter Lorii fantastic if you're a John Houston fan,
and like on the Volcanoes coming out in Blue very soon,
It's referenced a lot in that, so it's a fun
double feature.
Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
Doctor X is probably my favorite on the set. It's
like one of the first two strip Technicolor. It's fantastic.
And that's with Lee Tracy too, who I adore, and
Devil Doll is really good with two if I'm lyol
Old Barrymore And that's probably the weirdest one, like people
are getting shrunken down and there's like weird mad scientist
(01:58:05):
stuff going on. That one's like the That one's really good.
And like I said, Mark of the Vampire isn't my favorite,
I'm not always I'm more of a Christopher Lea than
a bell La Gothi Dracula fan. But yeah, this is
if you don't have these then especially before Halloween, this
is a great set.
Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
I Uh. I think one of my favorite comments that
I got on social media this week is somebody hit
somebody put a comment and laughed and said, I can't
believe you made Peter Lourie his own hashtag.
Speaker 3 (01:58:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
I always try to do that for some of these
because you never know who's out there looking for Peter Laurie.
And this is a really great set. Obviously it's not
a ton of Peter Lourie, but I mean this is
a really great Peter Lourie film. So yeah, I check
it in and every.
Speaker 3 (01:58:49):
Peter Laurie is a great Peter Laurie film. Two Shit
Like Radiance is recent relief with for Peter Laurie film
I'm the One of the World. Ones also husually recommend
Get The Only Money Ever Directed. I just got to
watch that recently. I forget what the title was. But
the three film set, that's fantastic. Well it's Peter Worry
but much more serious on This is more fun, crazy
(01:59:13):
Peter Lori mode. But yeah, another great one.
Speaker 2 (01:59:17):
Yeah, if you don't have any of these, this is great.
Next up is The Bad Guys Too, from this year,
getting a four K blu ray DVD released from Universal
on October seventh. This is kind of an odd thing.
We don't normally go into details on some of these,
but I really wanted to highlight like this is. This
is doing pretty damn well in the theater, and it's
(01:59:39):
still active in the theater, and they've already announced VOD
and a disc release but supposedly for animation that doesn't matter,
and they're still like all about it and they make
a lot of money. I don't know, I'm not universal,
so whatever this is gonna have a Dilby Atmos track
HDR ten on the disc. We had a feature commentary
with the crew behind this. There's an animated short that
(02:00:01):
played with us called Little Eyes and Alibis, so there's
deleted scenes. There's a bunch of different featurettes making of
all kinds of stuff. I have not seen this one yet,
but I will say the first Bad Guys movie is
surprisingly really great. I've heard this one's even better, and
I definitely want to check this out. My kid saw
it and he said he loved it, so I'm gonna
(02:00:22):
need to get this one so that we can watch
it together. But check it out. I like new animation. Yeah,
next up. I am still trying to figure out some
of the details behind this one. But November eleventh, We're
getting a Blu Ray and DVD release here in the
US from Rust Blade Records and sort of all over
the world at the same time from rust Blade as
(02:00:43):
well of The Killer Must Kill Again from nineteen seventy five.
This is Luigi Kotsi's called Shallo thriller The Killer Must
Kill Again. It's a complete, restored fiftieth anniversary edition of
this film. It's got a booklet in three postcards if
you buy the deluxe edition. If you just buy the
regular Blu Ray, it's much cheaper, so you're not getting
that booklet and postcards, but you're literally saving like fifteen bucks,
(02:01:06):
so it might be worth it to not get the
booklet and postcards. So just a heads up there. This
is supposedly great. I've been wanting to see this one
for years and not been able to get a decent release.
I think this had a model with Cabro DVD years ago.
If I remember right, I think it did, but it's
been a long time and I can't remember if I
(02:01:27):
ever saw that DVD or not. I need to check
it out. We've got an interesting story here, though, is
this is being shipped out of Italy. If you go
to their website. It looks like they're headquartered in Italy,
but MVD is distributing it in the US. But it's
also coming out like all over the world at the
same time through the same company, so they've got to
have worldwide rights. And I don't know much else behind it,
(02:01:51):
but if you look on their website, they've got like
everything Luigi Kotsi, So I'm kind of wondering, is he
associated with this label? He still does stuff he might like,
he might be associated with the label. He's in Italy.
It's possible that he's got it. Yeah, Jim is asking
is this a reputable label? From what I can tell, Yes,
(02:02:12):
they're They're distributing through MVD, so they are a real thing.
They've got a contract in place for distribution. Uh. And
this is not even their first release. They've done some
stuff before, so uh yeah, check it out. I'm curious
about this one. What about Jeolo are you? And the
Giello stuff?
Speaker 3 (02:02:32):
I do like some like the Dario Gento Tenebrae Suspiria. Yeah,
I haven't seen this one. I know George Hilton is
in some of the great ones. Uh. I like him
in the Western Massacred Time from the Arrow one that
the Spaghetti Western so I so that name immediately stood out,
and I know he's done some of the great Jello,
so yeah, I would be interested in it. But I
(02:02:54):
don't know anything about h Luigi Coazi or anything, but
looks ye interesting anyway, Yeah, sure does.
Speaker 2 (02:03:02):
Next up some more anime. November twenty fifth, we're getting
a Blu ray steal Bouk from Crunchy roll of Attack
on Titan the Complete Final season. Check that out. You
can preorder it now. A music release, we've got September
twenty sixth a Blu Ray and four CD box set
coming of White Snake Forever More, the big thing. You've
got all these CDs coming with it. You got remixes,
(02:03:23):
original remasters, alternate mixes, and all this other stuff. But
then the Blu Ray all kinds of stuff here. Weve
got a bunch of promo videos that they did. We've
got some live performances. We've got some other different featurettes
and behind the scenes and sixty page booklet, all kinds
of stuff. If you're into White Snake, they've done a
few of these releases, and this looks pretty legendary. I mean,
(02:03:46):
if you're into the music, this looks great. Next up
is Suspicion. Speaking of Apple TV, stuff that nobody has
seen that's probably really good. September twenty second, we're getting
a Blu Ray release over in the UK from fifth season.
This is the production company that made the show of
Suspicion season one. This is starring Uma Thurman, Georgina Campbell, Junell,
(02:04:11):
and na Are. I've heard this is again, just like
everything else from Apple TV. I've heard this is good.
I'll never see it because I don't have Apple TV,
but check it out. Next up is a Kickstarter that's
happening right now. This just launched for a documentary called
(02:04:32):
Fantasy Rising. This is a new feature documentary charting the
extraordinary rise of the fantasy genre from campfire folk tales
to billion dollar global franchises. If you are worried about
getting your stuff for this, because I know kickstarters can
be sort of ify for some people. If you have
not gotten items before, you felt like you've been screwed
(02:04:53):
over by one that you've backed six years ago and
you're still waiting for a shipment or something. This is
all done. They are just raised money for like some
back end production and being able to put this out.
You can check it out and you'll be able to
see this soon. From what it sounds like, they've got
some stretch goals that they're gonna put into place. It
looks like a pretty decent release if you're into fantasy.
(02:05:15):
Is fantasy a genre that you're super into?
Speaker 3 (02:05:18):
I love wording florderings. I was the fifth grader who
was carrying around the the big like three in one
book that I loved those movies I watched. That was
like one of my first PG thirteen movies, like I
But are of those films fantasy in general? Yeah? Game
of Zerones, I watched that all line and the Bitch
and the Wardrobe the one title that we will not
(02:05:40):
talk about because of its horrible author But yeah, I
definitely like, Yeah, I would be interested in that documentary.
Speaker 2 (02:05:47):
Absolutely, I'd love to know what is that one type?
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
I know this not in the news at all.
Speaker 2 (02:05:57):
Not in the news every single freaking day, and reasons
in a way, Yeah, let's let's not. She deserves no
attention and will not be getting any more attention from
me for any reason whatsoever. So yeah, that is fantasy rising.
Check it out. The same person that did this documentary.
(02:06:19):
He sent a couple others and they're all supposedly decent,
speaking of people that are not controversial in any way.
October twenty eighth, there is a four K and Blu
ray release coming here in the US of Richard Stanley's
Dust Devil from nineteen ninety two. Keena Lorber announced this
title and it is getting a new HDR Dolby vision
(02:06:41):
Master from a four K scan of the OCN, new
commentary for Richard Stanley on the director's cut, and then
on the Blu ray it is going to have the
director's cut as well. You've also got some archival stuff
including Dust Devil and Other Misadventures, a two thousand and
six interview with some contributions by the composer, original storyboards, polaroids,
(02:07:02):
all that other stuff. But if this is somehow something
that you look at and say, this is great but
not enough Dust Devil, Umbrella said, you know what, hold
my beer, you know, let's announce this crazy four K
release of Dust Devil coming from Umbrella on December third
in Australia. And if that KENO one wasn't enough, good Lord.
(02:07:22):
A one hundred plus page hardback book with never before
seen behind the scenes experiences, original continuity polaroids and art
from Richard Stanley, plus new essays by Jim Morton and
David Michael Brown. Another one hundred plus page softback book
with parts of the Dust Devil script, storyboards and shooting diary,
custom design books using pre production artwork and posters. You've
(02:07:44):
got the same hard box that they do, and it's
limited and numbered and all that fun stuff. But nay,
they said, that's still not enough. Let's make this a
crazy three disc release. You've got the four K disc
of the directors and the theatrical cut, both exclusive new
commentary with Richard Stanley, another new commentary with Britent Tilley
(02:08:05):
and Richard Kuiper's a commentary from two thousand and six
with Richard Stanley moderated by Norman Hill. New director's cut,
original Dust Devil storyboard overlay, and then essentially the second
disc is exactly the same as that, but on blu ray.
And then the third disc includes all kinds of archival stuff,
tons of stuff. If you love Richard Stanley, first of all,
(02:08:26):
that's weird, And if you love Richard Stanley, this is
probably going to be the cut of the film that
you want because it's got everything. So go check out Umbrella. Yes,
it is going to be a little pricey to ship worldwide,
but that's why you just wait and get a couple
titles and you don't pay for shipping and you get
free shipping. It is totally worth it and it's all
about it. Umbrella and Imprint they always get their standard releases,
(02:08:50):
at least in the US retailers. So if you're holding out,
I bet you'll be able to get this from somebody
like a Diabolic or Orbit. So yeah, hang out and
check out a great release. Chard's standing or are you
into dust devil?
Speaker 3 (02:09:03):
No? I mean I like Robert Burke. He was in
the Hall Hartley film one of the returning cast members,
so I do like Robert Burke. I'll focus on the positive.
I love what Umbrella and Brella it has been doing
lately with their releases. Like I know Criterions putting out
Eyes without a Face on four K, but I think
Umbrellas is better because I like a the box are
(02:09:23):
and I think they actually put in new bonus features
versus I think the Criterion is just to carry the
same bonus features from the DVD. Just now in for
the four K release, So I actually I just love
but that they really embraced like these box box what
they're called the outside. Yeah, yeah, I want that release
(02:09:44):
the Criterion when, of course is easier when they get
but I that had I seen more video essays. I
like what they did with it more. But I love
that they're getting into that game. Like all their releases
now are just beautiful, and I like that they're doing
the booklet essays more be getting this one, but I
in this I like the spirit of what the company
(02:10:04):
is doing, just not this one.
Speaker 2 (02:10:08):
Yeah, Richard Stanley, I don't, I mean, and he's the.
Speaker 3 (02:10:14):
Direct involvement in the release too, makes me also like.
Speaker 2 (02:10:17):
No, yeah, I get it. Let's not get into it,
but let's get into Indicator putting out Columbia Noir Number seven,
Number seven, Dear God. This is coming on November seventeenth
on Blu Ray only in the UK. This is a
UK only release. This is going to include a prize
of gold, The Last Man to Hang Wicked as they come,
(02:10:40):
spin a dark web at the Long Haul, and Fortune
is a Woman. Across the six films in this box set,
they're gonna find all kinds of great sounding stories. But yeah,
what about this are you excited about?
Speaker 3 (02:10:54):
Yeah, the only one I've seen on it is Long Haul,
which I think that's supposed to be Diana Door's on
the cover, and so that's the only one I've seen
that's like in the same genre if you like, Uh
they Drove All Night, which run Er Archive release recently,
or all the trucker movies that show what a shitty
job that is. And also there's a Stanley Baker one
(02:11:16):
that's really good, Hell Drivers. All the titles make the
job sound really fun. That one, I think it's one
of the weaker ones all overall. I find those movies great.
The one I'm most excited about is A Prize of
Gold because I'm a huge Richard Ridmark fan. Uh prefer
I think it's an army film, so I prefer him
in very in villain Road or noirs like A Night
(02:11:42):
in the City is probably my favorite. But I've never
heard of that Richard Ridmark before, So that's the one
that I'm most excited about. And yeah, all the others
besides the Long Haul, I'm not familiar riff, but that's
what makes it exciting. So yeah, I and plus their
box sets are amazing and if you only want one
later at ly, you know they're going to get released
once it sells out on standalone. So if there's only
(02:12:05):
one title you want, I like that you don't even
have to worry. Well, like with Imprint, like sometimes they
re release it in the standard edition and sometimes they don't.
It's like that up in the air. But with Indicator,
you know you can and wait if you want. But
their box sets are beautiful, great packaging. Ship's always great. Yeah,
so this is a great set.
Speaker 2 (02:12:26):
On top of that, the main thing I always champion
about Indicator is they're extras, And we talked about this
at the beginning about this release specifically, but there are
multiple commentaries on here. For most of the movies, there
are interviews, and it's really interesting to see because of
like the BFI and a couple of the other organizations
over in the UK that are all about archiving, like
(02:12:50):
audio interviews and video recorded interviews from the last thirty
years that they've done for TV or for special events.
There are a wealth of things that when you put
out a release like this, you can just go into
their archives and look up a filmmaker and say, oh,
there's these nine things, let's grab these three to put
on the disc because that's what we have room for.
Or you know, let's get something for every single filmmaker.
(02:13:12):
Let's associate with this. So you're getting interviews from twenty eight,
ninety three, ninety one new features that they're working on
as well. There are conversations, there are short films, there
are all kinds of stuff that there's so much it
literally would not even fit in this Instagram post because
the freaking character count requirement. But on top of all
that one hundred and twenty page book with new essays
(02:13:33):
like if you love these type of movies, these Indicator
box sets are legendary because they're really well curated, really
well put together.
Speaker 3 (02:13:41):
Yeah, just as a nitpick, I wish with like the
BHP interviews, they always they're usually audio only and they'll
play it over the future, even though it has nothing
to do with the feature. And sometimes I wish like
even if it just a photo collage or just a
standalone image, just because it's just like it's confusing, like Okay,
how long is the action interview? I just sometimes the
clash of the image not matching what's being talked about.
(02:14:03):
I think it's great that they're included, and if that's
the only way they can be included, of course, go
for it. But I wish sometimes they would just even
if it's just one image the whole time while they're talking. Yeah,
like I said, if it's a matter of losing it
or keeping it, keep it this way. But it's not
my favorite setup that they always do.
Speaker 2 (02:14:21):
I agree with you. Yeah, it should be even like
a poster montage something like that would make a lot
more should.
Speaker 3 (02:14:27):
They usually have a photo gallery, so just put it
over the photo gallery.
Speaker 2 (02:14:31):
It's a lot less distracting that way, that's for sure,
all right. So next is one of the bigger deals
of this week over in France, which we don't normally
cover a lot of French releases because for some reason
they're like allergic to English subtitles in France. I try
to keep this to English friendly only releases for the
(02:14:51):
show and for the announcements of social media. So this
one does have English subtitles on some things. Because this
is a silent film. Number fourth, we are getting a
four K and blu ray release over in France from
Petempkin of Napoleon as seen by Abel Gantz. This is
from nineteen twenty seven, and this is the seven hour
(02:15:12):
cut of Napoleon. This is going to be a digipack
fivefold case with the rigid cardboard box, two four K discs,
three Blu ray discs. This is going to have a
book that is likely only in French. Sadly, this is
going to have a booklet with the list of music
that was used for the soundtrack. There's some documentaries and
some extras on here. However, the reality is the extras
(02:15:35):
are likely not subtitled in English. I don't have confirmation
on that yet, but I think that is the case.
The film itself does have like some inner titles and
stuff that's used, and those have been subtitled in English.
So you can watch this all seven hours if you
are an English speaker, and we'll probably love this. This
is going to sell very well for them. That being said,
(02:15:57):
it is quite expensive, so it out if you're into it.
But this is an astonishing important release for a lot
of people. I've still never seen this. I'm certainly interested
in seeing it. That being said, it's like a day
to watch this. And yeah, I don't even if I
bought this, I don't even know how I could schedule
(02:16:17):
a time to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:16:18):
Yes, yeah, I never heard of it and that was
seven hours. No. I realized. I saw this release and
I knew it was a silent film, but I did
not realize it was a seven hour movie. That's yeah,
kin amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:16:30):
It's had many many cuts and different scores over the
years that there's like a four hour cut, there's a
seven hour cut. I think there's even one longer than that.
But the big thing is there are some legendary pictures
of how this was originally projected actually, where they use
these three different projectors to do the one film. It
(02:16:51):
was like extra widescreen essentially, and I believe the restoration
for this does have that, and it does say the
triple screen is listed here, so I believe that is included,
which is mind blowing. I'm strict on that. Yeah, all right,
that's Napoleon as seen by Abel Gantz. We got one
more that slipped through my fingers and I didn't see
(02:17:14):
it first. But we also are getting for more archive
a Joan Crawford collection. This one's spanning a much larger
time frame than the other ones. This is nineteen thirty
two to nineteen fifteen. We get Grand Hotel, The Damn
Don't Cry, The Women, and Possessed, and man, I feel
like this is a special one for you.
Speaker 3 (02:17:30):
Yeah, well, Crawford's my favorite. Like I know there's the
boar between Betty Davis and Crawford. Crawford's my girl, She'll
always be my favorite. This is kind of an odd
set like this. The Betty Davis one was like, oh,
the all four and I mean either if you don't
own them, like the Betty Davis one. But the short
thing these are not like the crintessential Crawford movies. I mean,
(02:17:53):
The Woman is a great movie, but it's great because
it's an ensemble cast. Same with Grand Hotel, Like I
feel like that's more. Actually, I think Crawford is the
best character in Grand Hotel, but it's most famous for
I want to be alone with Garbo. So it's just
a kind of an art collection. I know I've seen
The Damn Don't Cry. I don't specifically remember it. I
mean the one that actually is really good is Possessed,
(02:18:16):
which they're It's confusing because there are two Possessed that
Joan Crawford did. They have nothing to do with each other,
but that one's actually really good. Again. I don't remember
the exact details, but yeah, it's more of a I mean,
Grand Hotel and The Women are huge movies, but just
under the title Joan Crawford set, it's not to me
the quintessential title. So this is not as good a
(02:18:38):
mix as the Betty Davis one.
Speaker 2 (02:18:40):
Was, but still good movies. And if you don't have
any of them especially, that's the.
Speaker 3 (02:18:45):
One that I feel like is the well, actually, the
one that's the most unfamous is Damn, Don't Cry. But
Possessed is really good, and it is I'm not always
a Rand Hefflin fan, but that was a really it's
a good one. Again, I don't remember the details. None
of these are the ones that I would name as
her best. But you should see Grand Hotel, she should
(02:19:06):
see The Women. It's just not specifically.
Speaker 2 (02:19:09):
Crawford right, well, which makes total sense. I'm sure they
just had to get these out for some reason. And
here it is. You can get all of them and
one fairly inexpensive collection, which is great. All right, we
got I've got a handful left to cover tonight. Nobody too.
We talked about this one early in the show. There
is a four K exclusive or sorry Walmart exclusive four
(02:19:29):
K steal book coming You can pre order this now
decent movie. Sharon Stone is in It, Riza stillnic Christopher
Lloyd's in It Good Time. Check it out. More music.
Peter Gabriel Taking the Pulse coming out on Blu Ray
from Mercury Studios on October tenth. You can check out
the track listing here. Just reading the story behind this one,
this one is interesting. If you're a Peter Gabriel fan,
(02:19:51):
you probably know all about it.
Speaker 3 (02:19:52):
But I like him. I mean, if you're a fan
of the Americans, his music I played all the time
on the TV show of the Americans. So yeah, I
do like Peter Gabe. Do I want to watch a movie,
Possibly not, But I do like his music.
Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
I get that, I get that Speak No Evil. The
James McAvoy starring film from twenty twenty four, the US remake,
is coming on a four K steel book over in
the UK from Universal Pictures. It's got all the bonus
features that we've been seeing past orand for this movie.
I do like the look of the steel book. That
being said, didn't love the movie. It's decent, James McAvoy's
(02:20:28):
crazy in it, but I still prefer the original, and
we still need an English friendly Blu Ray release of it.
Dang it, come on give it to us. Next up, Severance,
not the show, the film Severance from two thousand and
six getting a four K release from Icon Film Distribution.
This is coming over in the UK on October twentieth.
Have you seen this movie? I've not seen this.
Speaker 3 (02:20:49):
No, I haven't, never actually in the TV show, But.
Speaker 2 (02:20:53):
I've heard this one's good. This is directed by Christopher
Smith and I believe this also got an Umbrella release,
but only on Blu Ray. And this has three and
a half hours of bonus features. You got new interviews
on here as well that are not on the Umbrella release.
You got art cards and all kinds of stuff. Looks
like a good release of a movie I need to see.
I've heard this one is good.
Speaker 3 (02:21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21:15):
Next up New Wave Video, the newest boutique label out
of Australia, already announcing their third spine. This one is
interesting because we don't have a release date on it.
They just wanted to keep the hype going on their stuff.
This is coming on Blu Ray in late twenty twenty
five or twenty twenty six, early in the year. We
don't know when it'll be later this year or early
(02:21:36):
next year. This is how do you Let's see what
words do I use here to not get banned on everything.
This is a hend type anime porn essentially called Oratsukidoji
The Perfect Collection. This is going to have all kinds
(02:21:57):
of stuff that is on the the Disco Tech releases.
The first volume came out last year. The rest of
it is coming later this year from Disco Tech. And
now you've got a release coming with all kinds of
new special features. It looks like it's gonna be I believe,
the same restorations that Disco Tech has used, and this
(02:22:18):
looks pretty incredible. If this is something that you're into personally,
this looks like it's gonna blow the Disco Tech releases
out of the water. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22:26):
I think Michelle is involved in this one, right. I
think I thought sure that she had a booklet essay
said that it wouldn't have been necessarily a film, But
because she's involved, I would be interested just if she
likes it that the stamp of that I pay attention.
Speaker 2 (02:22:39):
To, I think, if I'm remembering right, I think Philip
Jeffries is also involved in this one another friend of
the channel, So yeah, this is one I would not
have probably considered getting this version, but I may now,
especially just sport John who's running the label, which, by
the way, interview getting posted soon on the channel with
(02:23:00):
John to talk about well, John and his wife who
run the label together. I need to stop saying John
and his wife and remember her name because I have
not met her yet and we're doing our interview tomorrow.
That'll be up on the shale in the next couple
of weeks. But yeah, excited to talk about this new
label in Australia and stoked on what they're doing. Yeah,
I can't believe the amount of incredible things they're picking
(02:23:23):
up for a new label. This is pretty big. Next,
another Australian release, via Vision, is putting out a four
K release on October twenty ninth of the Divergent series,
a series of films that I've seen. Nothing from me.
Speaker 3 (02:23:41):
I was a Maze Runner girl. I think they came
out at the same time I went for the maze
Running movies. This was not the ones I watched.
Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
I've not seen Maze Runner either. Are those good? I
in a.
Speaker 3 (02:23:52):
Hilarious way, like there's just one guy who just wears
a scarf for no reason, and I called him scarf Guy.
And I do like I'm doing a Brian So Dylan
O'Brien's great aiden Gillen's I think in like the sequel
as one of the villains, of course, because he usually
plays a villain and he's one of my favors. So
in a fun way they are. Are they classics of cinema? No,
(02:24:12):
but I haven't visited them in a while, but I
think they came out around the same time, and that
was the trilogy that I decided to invest time in,
not this one.
Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
Yeah. So if you love this series, this is a
stack disc set. You've got seven discs, three four K discs,
three Blu ray discs of the films, and then a
full Blu ray disc of a bunch of special features.
Lots of stuff in here, lenticular hard case box. Uh.
I don't even know what to say. This is limited
to a max of two thousand units. Check it out
(02:24:43):
if you're into it. That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:24:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:24:46):
And then the next one coming on the same day,
October twenty nine, three ten to Yuma, the two thousand
and seven film, getting a four K and Blu Ray
three D lenticular hardcase from via Vision. This is going
to be individually numbered, limited to a max of two
thousand units. Again, no new special features on this one.
But I actually really like this movie. Have you seen
this one? No?
Speaker 3 (02:25:07):
But I do love the original with Glenn Ford. I
don't know if you've seen that one. That's a Criterion one.
I do love the original, and I heard that this
is one of the better remakes, So I have not
seen this one, but yeah, the original I fantastic.
Speaker 2 (02:25:19):
I like this one more than the original. I think
it's it's pretty damn good. I gotta be honest with
wrestler Crow and Christian Bale are very good. I think
this is very good. Interesting poster art. I don't remember
seeing this poster that they're using on the cover here.
So nice to really.
Speaker 3 (02:25:35):
Say to me, like like that could be any guy back,
So to me, it doesn't really scream specifically this best
that's could be any Western put the title on. Okay,
that's the cover art.
Speaker 2 (02:25:46):
They likely did not get likeness rights for news, That's
why they had to go with that. Yeah, I think
this is the last thing. Yeah, this is the last
post to talk about tonight and this is not a
physical media release, but this is a very selfish post
for me and the Kansas City area. My favorite movie
theater in the area is Screenland Armor, who they've gotten
(02:26:09):
a name for themselves. They host Panicfest every year. They're
doing something incredibly interesting and really cool, and they're doing
a little bit of a fundraiser for it. I just
wanted to highlight this because, man, they could use some help,
because this is so exciting. They are announcing that they're
trying to do what they can to bring back thirty
five millimeter and seventy millimeter film projection here in Kansas City.
(02:26:33):
I've not heard of many theaters saying it's twenty twenty five,
let's bring film to the theater. And I love that
they're doing it. It is quite expensive to do this.
It is literally around one hundred thousand dollars to retrofit
that in for everything. It is intense that they're willing
to do that. But to earn the money for this,
(02:26:54):
they're offering people perks like cheaper tickets if you're going
to be here. They are offering discounts like snacks and
all that stuff, gift cards, but some other really fun
things like film one oh one. They are teaching film classes.
They are working to focus on things that people remotely
can also benefit in. So check out the website. It
(02:27:15):
is screenland dot com slash film and there might be
some ways for you to donate there. But the other
side of that, right now, there is a lot of
stuff going on here. And I'm not going to get
into like local politics much because this affected me in
the last year quite drastically. But they are fighting right
now for a property tax increase. They're a tax assessment
(02:27:38):
by the county brought back an increase of four hundred
and nine percent to what they owed in property taxes
since twenty twenty, and the county is like, yes, screw you,
it's legitimate. So they are going all the way up
to the state Tax Commission to fight that. It is
crazy what is happening, But they just wanted to throw
(02:27:59):
out there that they're facing a lot of things from
all kinds of different angles and if you feel so inclined,
they could really use the support. The communities come out
and voted year after year that they are by far
the best theater in the Kansas City area. And if
you're local, if you are ever going to be in
the area, or if you just want to support a
theater that is small indie and going back to film,
(02:28:20):
this is a really great way to do it. Yeah,
all right, Just in case you forgot what is coming
out next week, we are getting the Arrow two thousand
and three four K release of the Texas Chainsaw Masker remake.
You also get the Texas Chainsaw Asker, The Beginning four
K release Monty Python and the Holy Grail four K
steal book from Sony City on Fire four K from
(02:28:44):
Shout finally coming out, Aaron Brockovich four K coming out
from the Studio, The Rundown four K from Keto, Lrber,
Death Stoker and Death Stocker two four K from Shout Factory.
But I'm a Cheerleader four K Amazon exclusive from Lionsgate,
The Conjuring four K steal book. There's that Carter four
K that we talked about earlier there from Warner Archive.
The High Tension Box from Severn is getting a wide
(02:29:08):
release this next week. Scoop from Keno, Larber, Leelo and
Stitch FOURD case deal Book, the live action remake unfortunately
from Disney Frankenstein's Bloody Tear in three D from Keno Larber.
There is that Huckleberry Hound Show from Warner Archive, The
Karate Kid Ultimate six Film four K collection. If you're
(02:29:28):
into that. The Materialists from A twenty four they call
her death. Since we were just talking about Kansas City
the direct I watched the trailer.
Speaker 3 (02:29:38):
I haven't seen that one, but that one had my
eye yet.
Speaker 2 (02:29:41):
He's local in the metro area. He lives in Laurence, Kansas.
He's about forty five minutes away from me. Seven Women
from Warner Archive, Save the Tiger from Kena Lrber, Saving
Face from Criterion. Odd Job from Severn is getting its
wide release. The Hard Way from Warner Archive. The Ghost
of Peter Sellers, by the way, super keep on Amazon
right now. If you were after that one, very very
(02:30:02):
inexpensive Intruder in the Dust Blu ray form Warner Archives.
Really good is it? I've not seen it. The cover
is something of character.
Speaker 3 (02:30:12):
It's it deals with race and kind of like the
Killer Mockingbird type movie, and like it's nice a hard
watch in the sense because it has it's not like
the No, it's not the same noble characters as Gregory Peck.
It has the right mindset, but it like shows the
(02:30:32):
main characters making bad choices but then learning from it
and like not being perfect. Like it's not like the
Greg Repeck Atticus Finch always doing the right thing. They
don't always do the right thing. So sometimes it's hard
to watch in just that mindset. But it's a very
good classic that is unfortunately still very relevant right now.
Speaker 2 (02:30:53):
Next up is The Emergency the Complete Series Blu Ray
coming out, Negatives Blu Ray from Severn, the Larry Cohen
Miss and Misdirection box set from Shout Studios, which I'm
still kind of iffy about. Invasion USA from Filmasters, a
release that I've been looking forward to for a while.
Vermiglio from Criterion. We've got Arbor Day four K shipping
here soon from Terorvision here in the next couple weeks.
(02:31:15):
Sledgehammer as well, shipping from Tervision here soon. That Midnight
Kiss from Warner Archive. Doriana Gray fully canceled that that
is going to be coming from Delirium again and some
other weird release we don't know yet, but it'll be
happening eventually. Baby Assassins three from Well Got USA. Definitely
getting that one myself. Smoke and Blue in the Face
from Keta Laber Psycho Beach Party is coming out again,
(02:31:38):
getting a nice re release, and uh, let's see, that's
most of it. King Kung Fu getting its public domain release,
Invader shipping from Tervision here soon, and that is it.
You've got a couple of these on the way, any
of these others that you're going.
Speaker 3 (02:31:54):
They call it saton I'm definitely interested in. That's the
main another ones than the ones we already talked about.
That pretty much covers it, probably for me. But yeah,
there's some good titles there.
Speaker 2 (02:32:08):
It is about to be a dangerous time. Every week
now for like the next three and a half months,
there are so many releases coming out that it is
just an absolutely crazy time. If you are collecting from
certain labels, there's a lot that you're going to have
your eyes on. If you're collecting certain franchises, there's a
(02:32:30):
lot coming out. If you're collecting Steel books, there's a
lot coming out. If you're collecting every Warner archive, they're
doing more titles than ever. There's just so so much,
but it's an exciting time.
Speaker 3 (02:32:42):
The October slate is usually the best one.
Speaker 2 (02:32:46):
Yeah, and then I mean October from Criterion looks Great
October from all these labels is going to be crazy.
But now we got a complete conversation to have about
wardrobes and films. So why do you want to talk
about this? Because this is exciting. I was kind of a.
Speaker 3 (02:33:03):
Random one, but I feel like it's one of those
like internet prompts that you see, like on social media
sometimes like ooh, what more drobe than you just see
the photos? And it just was like kind of a
fun random one that like you just watch a movie
and it's like I overthought everything with it, because it's
like sometimes you don't you know when you're watching the movie,
oh this is I love these clothes, but then when
(02:33:24):
you're trying to remember it later. And I did not
pick really I picked some deep cut titles that are
probably too specific. I tried to think of a mainstream title.
They're not mainstream, so I'll put that disclaimer right now.
But yeah, it just was a random title and I
was glad that you thought it was clever, And yeah,
(02:33:47):
I just like clothes, and because I watched old movies too,
I like older fashions, and yeah, it's just fun to
imagine having an all my budgets going towards blu Raynock.
But it's fun to imagine that I could bear.
Speaker 2 (02:34:05):
Yeah, I mean, I think this is a really fun
topic because it's something that it gets recognized during the oscars,
but I feel like it's something that gets forgotten fairly quickly.
Like it's not it's not something that people are focusing on.
It's not something that you hear, Like, there's not a
lot of articles written about it. They do exist, but
there's not a ton of them. Yeah, this is a
(02:34:27):
really this is gonna be a fun topic because we're
going to talk about the movies. We're going to talk
about the characters themselves, what we like about the fashion
choices and all that. But all right, let's start with yours.
Am I going one through five or five? Yeah, so
I'm gonna we actually we went the above and beyond
(02:34:48):
and we're going to share some sure, so it's not
just you imagining in your mind. Here is your number five?
Tell us about this choice.
Speaker 3 (02:34:55):
All right, we've been talking a lot about one in
archive tonight. This is a this is a one of
our chive title Esther Williams, which I am a sucker for.
They're cheesy, but Esther Williams rocks if you know anything
about her. She wrote an amazing memoir where she tells
all and like the crazy things she went through because
(02:35:17):
she's the actress who was the only one doing all
the water stuff, but they put her. I mean, I
think she was pregnant sometimes doing these dives. I think
she broke her back one time doing all these stunts,
and they were it was her doing them, and she's amazing.
It's a great book if you're looking for like an
old Hollywood memoir to read. She's one who actually shared
(02:35:40):
and didn't just gloss over things. But Amazing Beauty is
the ones these costumes are from. And I'm especially obsessed
with that pin strike suit because it's not amazing green
and pink pinstripe suit. Then they don't you realize it
is a hood or a scarf. I'm not sure. It's
just all of a sudden she's outside and did have
a hood. I don't know where it came from. If
(02:36:01):
it's a separate piece, it's an amazing outfit. I just
think she's classy and cool. You could really pick any
of her movies. The best one plot wise is Uh
Dangerous When Wet, which is the one that has the
famous when she's swimming with Tom and Jerry or not
Tom kit just Jerry, but it has that famous segment.
(02:36:23):
But it's also just the best storyline.
Speaker 1 (02:36:26):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:36:26):
This one is with Red Skelton, who is annoying, but
not as annoying as he is in another Asterravilliaan's one
I can't remember. But also whatever other Esterbillius one of
Red Skeleton that were on an archive released. He almost
ruins it because he like hands up everything, but he's
terrible in this one. And it's just all her movies
are fun time, they're beautiful color. She's a cool lady.
(02:36:50):
I really mostly want that suit, not even a suit,
it's like a one suit, one piece outfit. Yeah, I think. Yeah,
So basically I've always loved that outfit and it's stuck
with in my brain.
Speaker 2 (02:37:06):
This is a hell of a choice. Immediately eyes drawn
to the whole left side of the screen. Here, the
way that they.
Speaker 3 (02:37:13):
Try to get every angle of it's so good.
Speaker 2 (02:37:16):
It's such a great piece. It's striking. U. The picture
that you've got in the middle top here, I mean, yeah,
the one in.
Speaker 3 (02:37:24):
The gray outfit. She's roasting Marshmallows in that outfit. Which
is the random activity to be doing. And the costumes.
I should have said Deby Green, who is if you
watch old Hollywood films, she comes up a lot. Yeah,
they're beautiful and even just like the other The top
right corner is this beach coverall which I wish like
he'd be fun the red of the beach. You did
(02:37:45):
not see that these days. Yeah, it's all color, and
which I think is one of my favorite movies to
see restored. It's just how bright the colors get. And yeah,
it's a I love her in general, but this is
a particularly great for that aesthetic reason.
Speaker 2 (02:38:03):
Just an incredible choice to kick things off. Love that
I have purposefully not looked at all of yours. I
just saved the files that I would be surprised, and man,
that's a really great choice. And now I'm self conscious
about all five of my choices, because man, they are
not as interesting as that. So my first one, I
(02:38:24):
this is one of the movies in the last five
or six years that I walked away going, god damn it,
where can I buy what he was just wearing? And
I don't really think like that often. But my first
choice is Colin Ferrell and the banshees of in a
Sharon And Okay, the choices here are because this stuff
(02:38:44):
just looks so damn cozy, like the blue sweater and
the bottom left it is like this really plush knit
sweater and everything is so it's like timeless designs. But
when you look at them up they're very ornate. They're
clearly very complex materials that he's using here, but they
(02:39:05):
look they look cozy, they look interesting, they look warm.
I know it's August and a lot of us are
hot as hell outside right now, but I am, for
some reason freezing in this room, and I just putting
this together for the show. I was like, man, I
would love to just be warm, just chilling on the
beach in Ireland wearing like these frumpy frickin' wonderful sweaters.
(02:39:28):
And the only thing that that took me out of
any of these pictures is I want to highlight what
is going on with his eyebrows on the bottom middle.
Speaker 3 (02:39:37):
That was actually my favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:39:39):
I love that it's so funny. Yeah, these are really
great and again not like anything complex or anything looking,
but when you look at the quality is clearly like
very personal, very like heavy material in a way that
you just go damn. Somebody put their time into these pieces,
(02:40:01):
all right. So that's my first one. Very curious to
see what you go with next. So your last one
was number five? Number four for you? Oh gosh, I
see the preview in my little window.
Speaker 3 (02:40:13):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:40:13):
This looks interesting. Here's number four. Tell us about it,
all right.
Speaker 3 (02:40:17):
Another pattern. I just picked cool actresses basically that I
think are awesome and I want to dress like them,
and Romy Schneider definitely qualifies. This is Max and the Junkman,
which is a French film. Al Quino Larber released it.
It's really good thriller and she plays. It's also Michelle Pickoley.
(02:40:39):
I think that's how you say it, and would be
the French rate pronouncing it. But it's a really good movie. Actually,
she did quite a few films with the director Claude
Softe all of them are Goodness is my personal favorite,
but I think at least did three films together. And
it's basically a crime thing where Michelle Pickoley plays this
(02:40:59):
cop who wants to catch these bank robbers and basically
manipulates everybody so that they'll put on another bank robbery.
And she plays the girlfriend of one of the main
robbers or they're not even planning a robbery. He like
kind of tricks him into, Hey, that would this bank
would be a great place to rob So he's a
(02:41:22):
little bit of a shit, but he's a really good actor.
But I just love the colors throughout this movie, and
they never really explain it. But every outfit she has
that matching string that's like the perfectly matching string to
the dress she's wearing. I don't know why, but I
think that's cool. And like one time they even show
her a scene of her it's tying it on and
(02:41:43):
so like it's important, But it's just I love the colors.
I love the leather jacket. I love hats, which will
be a pattern that you will see, So anytime there's
a hat, I just remember, she just looks cool period.
So maybe that's the bias. I looked up the costume
designers it said to nine Octra and Jacques Cotindo. I
(02:42:08):
did also see online that specifically her outfits a lot
from Saint Laurent Lareen, and so I think that might
be the case that I wasn't the credit on the
blue rag. But she's just a cool lady. I love
the colors. I just love her. And yeah, so give
me a leatherard jacket. And yeah, this is a little string.
(02:42:30):
Yeah she's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:42:32):
The string is hilarious. I mean, yeah, it's not just.
Speaker 3 (02:42:35):
A random string. It's like she changes it. She has
through string like the matching material. I don't know why,
and it just seems like it's a character decision important,
but it's cool. I would not I'll do it, she doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:42:49):
Yeah, this is a great choice. And honestly, shout out
to the seventies. The fashion of the seventies is just
so compelling and unique and iconic. I mean it's one.
Speaker 3 (02:42:58):
Of those everybody in this movie dress is cool, like
the man. They have the best, they have the cool
colors and patterns. Yet everyone dresses in this movie cool.
It's a good movie too, if you just like, I'm
not always partial. The crime thriller so On clicks with me.
I get extra excited because it's not a Jon Wit.
It always works for me. And this one is very
(02:43:19):
good thriller actually, like it's a gang of bank robbers,
but you actually get to know each one. They're not
just like the nameless spoons. I think it's really good.
Speaker 2 (02:43:29):
Yeah, looks good. It looks very good. My number four
is by far, I believe the most current of any
of these choices, which is crazy to say after doing
banshees of any share and the one is newer than that.
This one is my first. Well, this one's kind of
a cheat, but it's my first of two cheats for
(02:43:50):
the night. And that's because it's technically two characters but
one actor, and that should give it away. It is
twenty twenty five Sinners with Michael B. Jordan. This is
fucking gorgeous. Michael B. Jordan is like one of the
hottest people in the world in this movie. First off,
I get to cheat because I get two different styles
from two different characters, different cats, two different color options.
(02:44:13):
This is a really great just a complete closet to
go through. I get the casual tank top look in
the right. I really want to steal his muscles too,
but I can't have that. I'll just be overweight as usual.
But the big thing, the shout out to the late
eighties early nineties that we get in the mid credit
scene for this film is such a fun way to
(02:44:35):
put a coda on this film that you didn't need
to do. And yet when Coogler was like, you know what,
We're gonna put just a tiny little button on this
film and bring you back and pull off this look.
That sweater alone is so badass. This this is such
a beautiful movie. The style here is perfect for the times,
(02:44:56):
and the way that they use this to tell the
story glory of two different characters is such a unique
attempt at using one person to play these things, because
this could have been really confusing really quickly, but instead
it on top of like the personality change that he does,
this helps so much to tell this story. I fell
(02:45:17):
in love with this movie the very first night. Absolutely
astonishing choice here, sinners. Did you get to see Centers show?
Speaker 3 (02:45:24):
I did? That was the one film I all the
hype and like celestical La Cabra and put out that
video about it. It's like, okay, I got to see
it in theaters. Yeah, fantastic choice that the costume isn't
that more amazing. I love how it's essentially almost like
a musical because the music is so prevalent and just
the vea combines genres. I love everything about it. The
(02:45:46):
only thing I didn't like is the very opening scene,
how like they kind of like show you that the
vampires are coming like in the Church. Like, I don't
think that was needed. That's a real nitpick in a
movie that you don't need to, but like I would
have gotten rid of that and just let that come
as total surprise. But beyond that, yeah, the costumes, that's
one of the movies I thought of, Like, if you're
talking about recent releases, yeah and hats.
Speaker 2 (02:46:08):
Yeah, that's great, great movie for sure. Yeah, all right,
tell us about number three and here is your picture.
Speaker 3 (02:46:18):
All right, Yeah, that that's gonna keep happening. This is
from Spear to the Dead, which was really weird because
I was watching this for this and then right after
I watched, I found out Terrence Stamp died. He is
in this as well. It's an anthology film. Uh so
that was just really like kind of creepy, like, oh that,
(02:46:38):
but it's a mythology film. He is not in this segment.
This segment, it's Jane Fonda and her brother Peter Fonda,
and they're playing cousins and she's a countess with money
and these looks are amazing because I almost picked Barbarella
and then I realized that the costume designer was the
same it's shock entre. I don't know. I feel like
(02:47:02):
I did the lousiest job with the pictures for this
one because I was just trying to get screenshots. But
these outfits are incredible. They've got the big sleeves. I
love medieval outfits, so I love this one. The black
and white is like this huge coat and she's always
on horses in this movie. Uh, it's just cool hats,
cool everything, and it's just like if you like the
(02:47:24):
Barbriella costumes, this one's also good. I mean, she does
not play a nice lady in this one, and that
gets her and Peter find in the casting of it
being her brother and it's kind of this guy who
like splorns her even like romantic it's kind of even
though they're cousins, it's a weird incesty besides the casting
(02:47:44):
in real life them being siblings, but the royal because
she's wealthy, you can get away with that. It's a
weird movie. And like I said, Terence Stamp has a
famous segment in it too, and Tim Lucas wrote a
book about it. If you're a fan, it doesn't really
have a great I don't think region one release. I
know it has a Region two one. But yeah, any and,
(02:48:06):
like I said, I almost picked Bobrilla because I love
in that film the astronaut uniform that looks like basically
a silver puffer coat. But this designer I could wear
any I would wear anything he does. It's all eccentric shapes,
big bold silhouettes and yeah, give me. It's like a
Robin Hood fantasy to bear these outfits. And even though
(02:48:28):
I like nothing about being outdoors, but I love these
outfits and the stripes and the patterns and yeah, and
she and it's chained fundness, so she pulls them off amazingly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:48:40):
Yeah, these are unique looks and that the fact that
they're that striking is makes for a really great choice.
I mean, the shoulders here, like you mentioned, really really
great bold, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:48:52):
There's no boring looks in here. There's some skippier looks,
but there are no boring looks.
Speaker 2 (02:48:59):
Yeah, this is a great choice. Yeah, I mean you
said barbarrella to it. That would have been a great
one too. I love that you went above and beyond
are naming the costume designer. I am illing here. I
should have done the same. Apologies to those that deserve
the respect. This next one is another one that kind
of immediately came to mind, and I loved it as
I was thinking about this. Pretty much all of my
(02:49:19):
choices are fairly modern picks, but they're also mostly period pieces,
including this one, which is a really to me at
least obvious choice for a male character. And that is
not a filmmaker that I worshiped like many, but Tarantino's
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, And I got to
go with Rick Dalton because, man, first off, I get
(02:49:42):
tons of options. He plays so many characters, He's got
all these iconic shots, iconic looks, really great lounge wear
in the pool here he pulls all this off the
robe even as Super Company. But man, you have looks
for days. You have literally as professional as you want
to be, as relaxing as you want to be. You
(02:50:05):
can jump out of a truck like he's doing in
the top left. Like there are so many shots in
this movie that are like literally iconic, just because it's
Leo making a silly face, wearing like a really nice outfit.
And so this is one of the first things I
thought of. I mean, I don't even have the mean
shot of him pointing at the TV but this one is.
(02:50:28):
It's just so many of Tarantino's films are iconic for
at least one character and how they look through the
entire thing, and this, I mean, I could have picked
Cliff Booth for this movie. I could have picked five
other Tarantino movies just for the way that they wardrobe
one person. But I feel like Rick Dalton is kind
of the pinnacle for this, especially if you're stealing their
(02:50:50):
entire wardrobe, just because of the options. I have everything
that I could ever need here. It's so fun. Have
you seen this one? What do you think of?
Speaker 3 (02:50:58):
Is that one yet? I don't know how I haven't
seen it yet. I was sometimes get creeped out by
the turtle of Manson stories. I know, like some people,
I know it's not true crime, but overall I'm not
a true crime person, so that story, like it gets
repeated a lot. It's not my favorite thing to follow
up on, but it's still I know I will watch
it one day. I could certainly agree with these looks.
(02:51:21):
The robe is cool. I love the yellow turtleneck, but
the blazer, the jacket, Yeah, I would definitely not have
an outfit for every occasion with this wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (02:51:33):
Yeah, lots of options no matter what you're choosing from
fun movie. I hope everybody has checked that out eventually.
Uh you're are we at number two hours?
Speaker 3 (02:51:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:51:43):
Yeah too, geez already? I know right whoa vir Colors?
Speaker 3 (02:51:49):
I love it with the Liz Taylor. I know. Yeah,
with Liz Taylor, you have a lot of options. And
I could have should have probably picked like Cleopatra or Boom,
where she has amazing if you've ever seen her in
the flower Headdresses, Dad's Boom amazing. But I picked X
Y and Z, a movie nobody talks about with Elizabeth
Taylor because it's hats. It's a movie that Twilight Time
(02:52:12):
put out, and even though Twilight Time's pretty much debunked,
you can still get this one on screen archives when
they have their sales. And I love it. It's Elizabeth Taylor,
Susannah York and Michael Kaine in a love triangle. Elizabeth
Taylor does not take the fact that Michael Kaine is
having an affair with Susannah Yorke well as Elizabeth Taylor does,
(02:52:33):
and she is just I love her seventies looks in general,
like I could have picked identic It, which is sometimes
it's called The Driver's Something. It has multiple titles. Severn
released it in the States, BFI released it in the UK.
That's another great seventies film where she just raised all
these patterns. I love Liz Taylor. This is not her
(02:52:54):
most expensive wardrobe, but it's just fun. It's colorful, it's
got hats up, the galore, it's got her. Yeah, that
one great movie. I don't know if you've watched that one.
Fantastic it really, I mean it's bonkers, but that seventies
list is probably my favorite it. But yeah, she just
wears all these it's like the big bows, it's got color,
(02:53:19):
it's and she's just really I just love her. And
this is the film. It's not her. Like I said,
if I had picked Cleopatra, i'd have much more expensive gowns.
And I found out, but yeah, I've went for this month.
This is what I would wear in daily life if
I could, I would happily raid her closet. And I
found out the costume designer is Brenda Dawson, who was
(02:53:41):
a name I was not familiar with at all, but
she also did the costumes for Pandora and The Flying Dutchman,
which is a fantastic movie with Ava Gardner. So another
easy person to dress and naturally gorgeous. She has a
black dress and cutouts, and that one it just was
like I wouldn't have connected the two movies because that's
I want to say, fifty for forties and this is seventies.
(02:54:03):
Like I wouldn't connected that it was the same designer.
But and I, like I said, I've never heard her
name come up before, but she's great, And yeah, she's
got the best I'm basically love seventies fashions and you
get every color of the rainbow here. Yeah, and it's
just Liz's personality. So yeah, I just picked cool women
(02:54:23):
who I want to mimic in real life and be
just as loud. I'm not a loud person, but I
would happily take after Liz a little bit and just
go for it.
Speaker 2 (02:54:33):
Not not only is Liz loud, but she lets it
show in her hair in this too.
Speaker 3 (02:54:37):
Huh. Yeah, great girls, I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:54:41):
Yeah, this is a great choice. She's somebody that I mean,
anything visually with her has become iconic. And I love
the shout out to Cleopatra. And even if I don't
want to wear them, I can like pawn them and
make a shit ton of money.
Speaker 3 (02:54:55):
Because it was even better because Boom has meant she
has like like the flower headdresses and it's her and
well coward and one of her it's just extravagant, which
is just pure Liz in real life and on camera.
So yeah, I did not pick one of her extravagant ones.
But yeah, if you can't go wrong with his tailor movie,
oh no, you.
Speaker 2 (02:55:14):
Did great, really great choice there. So I picked Michael B.
Jordan and I had to go immediately went to the
other most beautiful man in the world lately at least,
and that's Ryan Gosling. And for him, I feel like
most people immediately say, well, you got to go with Drive.
You know, he got that beautiful, iconic jacket. But for me,
that is not the one that I go to, especially
(02:55:35):
after it's gotten attention the last year with a nice,
beautiful physical media release. I had to go with what
he looks like in the Nice Guys, Incredibly tailored suits,
really great shirts that he's got in multiple scenes here,
really great mustache that goes with it, not a part
of the wardrobe. Just to kind of hitting on him,
I guess, But beautiful ties. That's one of the things
(02:55:57):
I wanted to point out here. Ties are something that
we've lost the artistry of a lot of the times
it's just a single color, not pattern or anything like that.
But the ties in this movie, because of the time
period that it's set in, are like inherently ornate through
every single thread. Choice, just a beautiful like literally, Russell
(02:56:18):
Crow would have been a good choice for this movie
as well. But Ryan Gosling just pulls off every single
thing he touches here, even though he's wearing a cast
for half the movie. But yeah, beautiful movie. I think
that he looks incredible in this. I think that if
I could theoretically fit a suit the way that the
suit fits him, man, I would be set. But that
will literally never happen in my life. Love this I
(02:56:41):
would love to have this wardrobe. Great shirts. Yeah, the
nice guys love this movie. Have you seen the Nice
Guys yet?
Speaker 3 (02:56:47):
I've only heard good things about it, but I have
not seen it yet. I love this wardrobe. I just
love glasses. At that time, how big the lenses were.
It's like, we need to go back to that. Nothing
is cooler than a huge pair of sunglass it's the
bigger the bet. Yeah, this is I've only heard good
things about this movie, but no, I have not seen
it yet, and I can see why you chose it
one hundred per.
Speaker 2 (02:57:07):
Shout out to Ronnie, who's looking up some of the
costume designers that I never did. You're very helpful. Kim
Barrett is the Nice Guy's costume designer. I appreciate that
this is a great choice. Yeah, all right, there there
is the Nice Guys. And now that means we are
at the apex of your list, all the way up
at number one. The number one choice is.
Speaker 3 (02:57:29):
Okay, okay. This is Gene Simmons, who is another actress
I door. And this is a little movie called The
Grass Is Greener, also a cast. It's directed by Stanley Dodan,
who did Charade and tons of other classics. It's not
when people talk about but it's Kerry Grant. It's ded
for Kerr. It's Gene Simmons and Robert Mitcham and it's
(02:57:54):
basically another love triangle movie, Vick Mitcham versus carry Grant.
At one point they have a literal duel. They do
like the pillow talk split screen thing, and it's just yeah,
it's just a fun, silly movie, good dialogue. Basically, Carrie
(02:58:15):
Grant is this rich guy who lives in uh, one
of those British homes that he actually makes the music
make money off of by making it a museum because
it's that kind of old home. And yeah, and Deborah
Kerr has to choose between him and Robert Mitcham, which
is a dream situation to be in. But Geene Simmons
(02:58:35):
is my favorite character. She's kind of like the why
they just wanted to make it for people and she doesn't.
She does They just threw her in and why not?
And I love her. Alfred's in this movie. I think
they are supposed to be Chris. I think hers Alfred
specifically for Christian Dior. And I love the colors. I
(02:58:55):
love at one point that little in the orange out
in the top right corner. That's a earring that she
took off her a clip on earring that she took
off her ear and randomly puts in her hair in
one scene, so it's versatile. The alph that I particularly
love is this orange. It's a dress, but then she
has matching leggings or pants. I think that's awesome. I
(02:59:18):
love the patterns. I love the colors. I love that
she has a random headband and she just and then
like Jame, she sits in chairs. It's constantly like draping
the like the one the coat behind her. It's just
constantly showing off the outfit. I just think she's fantastic.
I love these clothes. I want that pants dress. There
(02:59:41):
should be more pants dresses. You need both, but why
why uh why not? Why I have one when you
can have both. I think she's wonderful. Also, I realizing
that all my movies like have blue eyeshadow, which is
the seventies thing, So I guess that's something that I
and I also just picked color films because I just
like color, even though there's some great black and white
(03:00:01):
movie costume desires. But I guess just the ones that
stay in my memory or the color ones even But yeah,
I adore this outfit. It's always the first one that
comes to mind. I know it's a deep cut title.
It's all of films released it. It's not a great release.
It has no subtitles. I don't think it has any
bonus features. I wish somebody, but I wish somebody would
(03:00:24):
re release it because I mean, all of did do
occasionally like they did right by Johnny gatorin Hair, but
they did not do right by this one. But I
don't know that it's a popular or well liked enough
title that it's ever gonna come out better. But yeah,
it's a fun movie. It's ridiculous. It's all British properness
and like versus like the American basically like British proper
(03:00:45):
carry Grant versus American Robert Mitcham, and they play with
that dynamic and it's a fun movie. Jane Simmons is
delightful and just gets to be delightful, like I said
of characters, kind of why she's there, because why not?
But yeah, I love these outfits.
Speaker 2 (03:01:00):
We got some people in the chat asking if you
have seen the film The Love, which.
Speaker 3 (03:01:05):
I have heard of the film, and is that her name?
The director? I love the I love the photos I've
seen from it. I have not seen it yet, but
I the aesthetic, yeah one hundred, because that's like every
I know. She took a lot from classic move or
not classic, but like the gen Land and all the
great seventies.
Speaker 2 (03:01:27):
Yeah, so yeah, I definitely a biller from twenties.
Speaker 3 (03:01:30):
Okay, I think I almost got her name right. I
created some combination, but yeah, I have heard of it,
and I know it's supposed to be good.
Speaker 2 (03:01:38):
I feel like the aesthetic of that definitely fits the
choices that you're making. But yeah, this is a great choice.
The floral print on here is beautiful, long, flowy. The
head wrap that she has and that I don't know
what do you call this, because it's like a necklace
just brick over her hair.
Speaker 3 (03:01:55):
Yeah, it just like I said, it's literally and the
clip our earing as someone who doesn't have her ears pierced.
I love that. I think that would be great to
have an actual cool Then she just like randomly in
a scene she's drinking cocktail and then she just takes
it off her hair and puts it in her hair.
I think that's ingenious and I don't know if that
was something she came up with on the spot. It's
(03:02:15):
Jeane Simmons. She's awesome. Yeah, if you want to see
another great movie of her, Angel Face, she plays much more.
That's a noir and she plays a much more crazy
character again with mitcham Though. Any movie if you can
see of.
Speaker 2 (03:02:31):
Her, I highly recommend it and Mitcham because he's amazing. Yeah,
uh okay. So when when you brought up this topic,
there was one thing that I thought of immediately that
I said, this is going to be my number one.
I'm not even have to think of it. This is
gonna be the last thing that I cover. And the
reason I'm going to cover this is because this is
my actual cheat for tonight. So I said, Michael B.
(03:02:51):
Jordan was like a half a cheat because he's one
one person playing two characters. This is kind of a
cheat because it's a wardrobe for myself but also for
my wife, who's my best friend, and the thing that
I've always seen for the two of us, and my
choice is that we have to have everything. And I've
looked this up, Ronnie, so you don't have to that
Ruth Myers did in nineteen ninety one's The Adams Family.
(03:03:15):
I think this is the definition of romance. This is
the definition of style. This is like the definition of sexiness.
This is the definition of a love that I have
always wanted to have for my wife. And I think
this is just some of the most beautiful, you know,
put together, perfectly matching couples in cinematic history. Played just
(03:03:39):
absolutely perfectly by Angelica Houston and ral Julia Here. Just incredible,
incredible imagery, iconic, beautiful shots in this film. Absolutely love it.
Will is making my making me laugh by texting me
and saying he thought he was my best friend. I
(03:03:59):
love you too, Will. Yeah, this, I don't know. I
think that this is something that I've always strived. Is
that a word striven? Yes, driven, I make you up
nineteen words to say it. But for me and my wife,
I mean, I think this is like the definition of
a true romance that we don't get a lot of.
(03:04:22):
This movie didn't shy away from, Like this husband is
passionate about his wife. The wife is equally passionate about
the husband in more than just a like a hyper
sexualized way. It's absolutely like there is chemistry in a
partnership here that reaches further than that. And something about
(03:04:44):
this wardrobe like perfectly compliments it. When he's in a
robe and comfortable, she's still in like the gothic everything
that you want, but also dressed down in a way
that she's comfortable sitting at home. The pinstripe suit, iconic,
the the like velvet overcoat that they weigh here. It's
it's just astonishing. This is one of those movies that
(03:05:06):
immediately when I was a child and saw this for
the first time, just went goddamn, like, dress me up
like that, and I am set for the rest of
my life. Love the Adams family. I love this relationship
and this is what I want in my life and
want my kids to be able to see that their
parents love each other. Like Mortitia and Gomez.
Speaker 3 (03:05:26):
I think that's beautiful. And you were totally rock those suits,
especially especially the velvet one. I think the velvet one
might be my favorite. That the pinstripe is the most iconic,
but yeah, that's a fantastic choice. I actually didn't grow
up with, Like I watched them as an adult and
they're great. But I grew up with more than the
Carolyn Jones, like the TV show, Like I watched TV
(03:05:48):
Land all the time. That was where made really popular
in school. But that's what so I called. I didn't
see it until I was an adult. And yet those
are beautiful costumes. They're classic Gotha. Yeah you, I hope
that you and your wife get to wear Alfred that
comes in your Yeah, any of the disconnected fans just
(03:06:09):
happened to have that sitting around in their closet and
to get rid of I think that'd be cool.
Speaker 2 (03:06:15):
It would be cool. Man. This has been such a
fun topic. Did you have any that you like you
were choosing between that were like uh uh vetoed or
cast Acide that were almost in your mind?
Speaker 3 (03:06:26):
Well, I feel like I wanted to pick something by
Travis Banton, who was like one of my favorite designers.
He if basically he designed a ton of marillion million
of datrix iconic looks. But I couldn't figure out like
what the exact Like I had all the images in
my head, but like, what's the movie, what's the role?
I would have to really which Oh what a crime
(03:06:46):
that would have been to really watch and figure out
which movie? Specifically, I mean Scarlett Emphis has She has
the big like Russian big hats, but like, am I
gonna wear that going to walk down the street? Probably
not to be practical it, So I feel like I
should have picked something from him and just a black
and white because there's some beautiful black and white films.
It just didn't stick in my head as much. But yeah, no, I,
(03:07:12):
like I said, I tried to think of something that
more people might know the movies, but I that didn't
work out.
Speaker 2 (03:07:20):
That's not important for a topic like this. You did
great picking iconic, iconic shots. Mine was incredibly basic, so
I took care of that for you.
Speaker 3 (03:07:29):
But they not basic. And yeah, the Michael Jordan one, Yeah,
I w one hundred percent. If I was thinking of
a modern movie that I walked away saying, wow, it
is costing through amazing, that would be the one. And yeah,
Dan's Family, Yeah, those are like I wouldn't even think
of those movies because they're just like so iconic and like, yeah,
(03:07:51):
you know, it's like you just take them for granted.
How and then you look at them and everybody copies them.
Now it's like literally I maybe got Wednesday TV show,
but then they just set a standard for what gothic,
what it means like hot topic wouldn't exist without the
Adam Family movies.
Speaker 2 (03:08:08):
That's true. That is true. Well, this has been just
a fantastic topic. I love that this is something that
nobody could have even like thrown out a guess at
what either one of us are going to be pickings.
I mean that made it fun. I think you have
been an incredible guest. You bring a very different flavor
than what I have, so that that's been helpful. What
(03:08:31):
tell the people what are you writing about? What's coming up?
Tell them what's what's in the physical media? I get
for September physically.
Speaker 3 (03:08:37):
Okay, a spoiler I'm doing. It's a kind of a
double bammy. I found a film that covers two actresses
who are both born in September. It's Greta Garbol who
we talked about today and and Bancroft. They were born,
I mean not the same year, but they were born
the seventeenth and the eighteenth. I get which one was which.
And the movie is Garbo Talks, which Keino Larber released
(03:08:59):
at the end of last year, and it's a really
good movie. And Bancroft, I mean it's a sad movie.
She's dying in it and her dream is to meet
Greta Garbo, who when the movie came out was still
alive at the time. So she tells her son who
they live in New York City, and they know that
Greta Garbo lives somewhere in New York City, but she
makes it like her dying wish hey find her for me.
(03:09:21):
And that's what he attempts to do. And it's just
like a lovingly movie that gets into like the whole
fandom as like a movie fan. I feel like it
beautifully captures it and doesn't like make her eccentric. It's
just the passion and like the attachment you can feel
to a star, like she just adores Garbo. She has
all the photos everywhere. At one point they go into
(03:09:44):
a bookstore and it just like I wanted every book
on the show, Like I wish you could walk into
a bookstore today and see it was like just a
section of movie biographies that it's like I would just
I would have no money.
Speaker 2 (03:09:58):
It's just it just is.
Speaker 3 (03:10:00):
A really fun as a film fan. It's a film
found about film fans. It's just and it really Garbo
doesn't actually appear in it. I won't say whether that
she does get to meet her or not. If she
does get to meet her, it's not Garbo playing herself,
but it's just really celebrates her. Ant Bancroft gives a
(03:10:23):
show stopping performance in it. She gets this monologue towards
the end that they just really let her take show
what a great actress she was. And so yeah, so
that's a spoiler, but it's mostly about go to Garba
Garbo Talks. I also talk about my favorite Garbo movie
and my favorite uh Ant Bancroft movie. I won't spoil
(03:10:45):
spoil those two, but yeah, I highly recommend uh that
movie if you haven't seen it. It's Tina Larba's release
is great too because I has a commentary with Howard
Berger and I forget if it was Steve Mitchell and
the Santa Thompson. I'm sorry, I know you work together,
but it was one of them, and it was a
really good commentary on top of it, because they tend
(03:11:07):
to do like I mean, Howard can talk about anything,
and both of them can talk about anything, but they
tend to do like the French thrillers or and this
was not a thriller. It's a Sidney Lamette film, and
it's not one of the ones like they talked about.
Howard said he actually got to talk to Sidney Lamett
and it's not one like It's like he shook his
head when he brought up Garbo Talks. It's not one
I guess that he held in the highest esteemer like
(03:11:29):
was like one that he wanted to talk about but
I think it's great, and yeah it I remember I
watched it ahead of because, like I tried to sometimes
be economically smart, and I thought it was streaming Garbo Talks,
so I was trying to get myself from not needing
the Blu Ray by watching it on and then I
ended up getting the Blu Ray anyway, because I just
thought it was a movie i'd want to rewatch. And yeah,
(03:11:52):
it's Tina Larba released it. It's really good and there
was in my My Buren my double Rammy birthday celebration
for September.
Speaker 2 (03:12:00):
It's a good choice. The commentary is with Steve Mitchell.
I just chose Howard. I don't know. He can talk
with anybody about any movie. He's got this oncanny ability,
so it's kind of impossible to memorize which ones that
he's done. So I get it again. I will echo
all of the comments that are coming out saying that
you've been a fantastic guest and that you got to
(03:12:20):
come back. I hope this has been fun and comfortable
because I know that well, it's hard to step out
and do something new, like a like a live show,
but you make it.
Speaker 3 (03:12:31):
As easy as it can be. It's been absolutely delightful
to talk to you. Of course I've talked to you online,
but this is the first time verbally talking and it's
just been fantastic. I'm really getting to be here was
a thrill because every guest that you have is wonderful,
and I just this is what I love to talk about,
but I don't always get to talk about it with
somebody else who has passionate about it and doesn't just
(03:12:53):
look bored when you keep talking about it. So I
just really am thank you so much for having me,
and I would love to come back anytime.
Speaker 2 (03:13:02):
