Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello there, and welcome back.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
What is this plance as connected disconnected? It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
I'm starting to feel disconnected the number that has been disconnected.
Welcome to another Thursday New intro. I hope people enjoyed that.
Been working on that for a while.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Very nice, very nice.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
For everybody who is seeing this gentleman for the first time,
I hope everybody goes and opens up that channel of
description in a new tab, write this moment and subscribes
to my friend mister Carlon Cook.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Carlin, thanks for coming on day.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Thanks for having me. I'm very excited about this if
I can stay awake.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm worried about that too.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I I've talked about it on here a few times,
but what I've been doing recently is staying up until
about one or two in the morning and then waking
up at four forty five to go to work.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
And this week is particularly bad.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
My apologies for that one. That sucks.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
It's a part of the transition, I guess. So Carlin's channel.
Everybody needs to go check this out, because one, you
watch a lot of Vinegar Syndrome stuff I do, and
a lot of shutter stuff, and there are a lot
of people that will.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Mention both of those things.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Very very rarely do we get in depth reviews or
discussion on every single title from somebody that actually watched them. So,
I mean, first I want to find out because I
don't know that I ever heard you tell the story.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
How'd you first find Vinegar Syndrome.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I think some years ago I had made like a
one time purchase because I wanted ice cream Man really bad.
And then I also was just like, well, I'm not
just gonna buy one thing, so you know, you look around,
and I think at the same time, I ended up
buying Spookyes, like just on a whim, Yeah, and fell
in love with Spookys and was just like, oh my gosh.

(02:11):
And then like some years later, I was like, well,
does that say it again? So I eventually went back
and then I got very hooked after that.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, you can tell you're pretty hooked cause you get
you get some hauls every month.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, I have some to show over here too,
a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, we're gonna be going in depth into all of
those and then Shutter. You've kind of like we were
talking about before you got in like on the ground
floor with Shutter. How how that originally happened.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah. So I had gotten Shutter myself and was really
enjoying a lot of the stuff that they had on
their service, and then I was just kind of like,
I want to do movie reviews. Maybe if I kind
of hitch my wag into this kind of fledgling horror
streaming service, right that I can get something cool like
screeners and be able to do that stuff. And I
just send email all on a whim, and they were

(03:01):
just like yeah, because at that point they weren't getting
much press, so they're just like anyone, it's it's totally cool.
So they just sent it and I've just been getting
the stuff ever since. So I've been doing it about
six years now, reviewing all their exclusive and original films,
which is at one point it was four a month
and now they're kind of down to two a month,

(03:21):
but you know, getting some good stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah, I mean, I feel like what they've gotten has
has cut down but perhaps gone up in quality.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It feels like a lot of the time.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's here and there. Look, I'll let you in on
a secrete. One of my one of my things when
when I get these screeners is that, uh, if it's
a if it says it's a Shutter original and it's
made the United States, it's probably not going to be great. Yeah,
But if it's a Shutter original made in another country,
there is a chance it could be very good.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
So that's what's one of my roles. Exclusives could be
you know, most likely exclusives are going to be pretty good,
but you never know.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, exclusives, if I'm remembering right, generally just stuff that
they're distributing because they saw it somewhere and it was
great and they wanted Yeah. Okay, so right, I thought,
so yeah, tonight after the announcements, we're going to be
covering underrated Shutter original Slash exclusive things that maybe people
aren't talking about as much.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's not on my list.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
I kind of doubt it's on yours because it's getting
pretty big press at the moment. But for an example,
even though it's getting talked about, one of mine would
be The Ugly.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Stepsister from this year.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I think it is getting talked about very highly but
also not enough.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
That movie is kind of incredible. Did you enjoy that
one this year? I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I really enjoyed it right now. Of all the new
horror films I've seen this year, it's my number two
behind Sinners.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Same here.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I think you were the first one that is aligned
with me on that. That's awesome. We got about forty
seven comments about a cat in your place, so if
it makes an appearance tonight, they would like to see
it up close.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah. I have two. The one is probably not going
to make an appearance Willow because she's a little bit older.
She's kind of settled in Josie though, is very active.
She's actually running around right now, so you might see.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Her nice well.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Talking about this year, let's before we do pickups, what
have you been watching recently? Because I always love hear
hearing you talk about these titles. Okay, so I have
a stack here.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Vinegar Syndrome obviously, and actually I just the other day
did my actually yesterday, just did my video for all
the July releases I got from Vinegar Syndrome, ranking and
reviewing all of them, because that's what I do every
single month for these for people who don't know, so
that's not available for everyone on my channel right now.

(05:48):
It's just members have access at the moment for about
a week, and then it will be available for everyone.
See but in no particular order. I watch The Rage
Carrie two, which honestly I like the movie as like
a so bad it's good plus like nineties nostalgia in
this moment of like coming out of the eighties film

(06:10):
and feeling like they want to kind of still be ridiculous,
but also are fighting trying to be serious with the film.
And it's just a weird mix. But I like the movie,
but this is kind of not a great release honestly,
Like the movie looks good and I like the movie,
but like, first of all, like what is this? Like

(06:32):
like what is this? Like where's where's the extra artwork?
Because people are paying for this. The other thing is
there's like there's a commentary track, but then there's like
one special feature like you couldn't have gotten no essays,
Like you couldn't gotten someone I would talk about it, Like,
just get someone to talk about it, do like a
video essay or something.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
I think I mentioned this the maybe the week after
it was announced. Maybe I did it on here. Maybe
it was only the discord, but I've found out from
Justin lit Liberty they were told they were not allowed
to do anything for this disc MGM is the worst
studio to work with, and they literally said, you cannot
do anything for this release.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Why would they that? It makes no sense. But I
also the Blu Ray did not play either, and I
verified that on multiple players.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
But the great thing is Vinegar Syndram's customer service is phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I emailed them on a Sunday and the next day
they emailed me back like pretty early, saying replacement in
the mail. Got to meet within two days after that
and it all fine. Yeah, no problem.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Death Rattle in the chat wants to know if you're
on letterbox so they can follow up on these.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I am what is my name? I just I don't
pay attention to things like that. Who am I? I
think it's just yeah, Carlon Cook same.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, that should be easy when it's on the screen.
There you go, CARLN.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Cook?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah all right, I can. I could rip through more
of these. I gotta I gotta be careful with this one.
Take off.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Fragile, don'te that makes such over the nipples.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
So this is you and Celeste's fault because I was
not buying adult titles until you guys had that episode
where you're like, this is why it's worth buying these
adult titles, and then I'm like, yeah, that sounds legit.
So now I've been buying a lot of it, and
take Off is a pretty good time. The story is

(08:34):
very engaging. The acting is a lot of fun in it.
You know, the sex scenes with a lot of these
Golden Age films are just like a lot is the same,
you know, like the same scene after the same scene
after same scene. But as long as the acting is
fun and the story is fun, like that's what matters
to me most. So yeah, take Off, I recommend that one.

(08:57):
It's good. Uh Mac and me. This was my first
time seeing this movie, and I'm a passive person, but
I wanted to punch these aliens. Yeah, that is a
natural reaction to the macam terrible design. But the weird
thing about it is like I did not like my

(09:18):
experience watching this movie, but then when it was over,
I was like, yeah, but there's something about it. It's
calling me back a little bit, and I'm like, maybe
I can give it another shot, and then I went
through the special features and then I read the essays
and then that just like made me actually kind of
like it. So I am going to keep this and

(09:40):
I I'll revisit. I'll revisit at some point.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Kind of Liking it is better than loathing it, so
that's nice.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, but the special features are great. Essays are great.
A big fan of that stuff. Then I also did
Jungari Monster from the Deep. It's okay. It has its
own charm, you know, South Koreana and Kaiju film. It
has its own charm here and there, but it's pretty slow.
Kind of hope.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Are you normally a big monster fan?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, I will say that the last two years I
really liked what they were putting out in July of Reptiloicus,
and then a year before that, Gorgo Love Gorgo. Gorgo's wonderful,
and then Reptilicus was a lot of fun. This is
the weakest, so I think if they stick with this
every July, unfortunately, I think it might be going down. Yeah,
but you know, it's still fun to see it one

(10:30):
time and then I can get rid of this. Special
features are solid, so that's good.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But yeah, the special poster thing they do in all
of these is really cool.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
The X ray thing, Yeah, he dances though, and I
was just like, I don't know about that. And then
the card Player, which I had been forewarned by you.
The Argento film, I mean, it's a very annoying film

(11:00):
in the beginning. In the beginning, like probably at least
the first half of it, I was very annoyed by
the amount of video poker in it, the fact that
you're watching someone play video poker and there's someone constantly
screaming while you're trying to watch it, Like I was overstimulated.
And then the score is horrendous for this film, like

(11:22):
and then you're just like, oh, Claudio Seminetti did it
from Goblin and you're just like how, And then you
find out it's because, oh yep. And then then you
find out it's because the lead actress was just like, hey, Claudio,
you know what's like really hot right now, German techno,
and he's just like, hey, I should try that, and

(11:44):
he did. But the special Teachers are pretty solid, and
I actually liked like the end of the film, probably
the last like half hour or so, it was pretty
fun as like a crappy film, so I think I'm
gonna keep it. I feel bad.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
About that, but I the first time I saw The
Card Player, I think my first thought similar to that
when I found out Simon Eddy again. I was like, Wait,
all these people that used to be incredible made this
movie and they all just decided to be terrible together.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, they all forgot how to do their craft right.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, what they were known for, what they were lauded for.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, yep. Well then I did the Gosser five
Dead on the Crimson Canvas. I mean, I love this artwork.
The artwork's a lot of fun. I'm a sucker for Giallo,
which is why I got it. It's shot on video.
For how low budget it is, there are some pretty
impressive practical effects in it, I thought. And you know,

(12:42):
there's the Giallo mystery in it, so I like it
as a Giallo homage. There is a special feature on
here called is it Giallo? And they say, have some
dude say it is Giallo? And I disagree that it's not.
I'm one of those people he warns about in the
beginning of it. There are people who will tell you
that it has to be Italian made to be Gialla

(13:03):
and I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's what I think. So
so this is not Giallo homage or parody kind of,
but it didn't love it. Pacing was really bad. Special
feature is quite good though, and then A New Leaf
and this is extremely good.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh nice, I was.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was kind of interested in it. It's it's like
a screwball comedy from nineteen seventy one. I fell in
love with this film from like the first fifteen minutes.
It is so real well written, it is so witty,
it's so well acted. It's phenomenal. And then all the
special features, like Cinematograph has been doing such a good job,
and I think a lot of people are sleeping on

(13:48):
their stuff because it's not like the typical vinegar syndrome.
But this is an unbelievable film if you like like
kind of dark comedy type stuff, and Walter Mathout and
Elaine May are phenomenal in it. The special features are unbelievable.
They have five essays in this. I think that's the
most essays I've had from one of their releases before,

(14:10):
and their essays are always top notch. So this is
an unbelievable release, and I think everyone should pick it up.
It's so good.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Matt dannelin May kind of always incredible, so I know
I knew that was gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
And then I'll just throw this as my last one.
I've been liking some VHS hit fest nice. The Killing
Tide is ridiculous. This is a shot on video action film.
It's like action revenge and it is. It just goes
hard like. The pacing is unbelievable. I've never seen a

(14:45):
shot on video film that has pacing like this. It's
just so much fun. There's so much action to it,
really ridiculous characters. The dialogue is horrendous, but in a
really fun way. That acting isn't good, but in a
really fun way, like this is top notch garbage. Love
this film, Killing Time, get it. It's price still available, but.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, this reminds me, and this is not a This
week watch. I was trying to track down the rights
to see if I could work with somebody to put
this out, but I cannot find the director, so I'm
just gonna throw it out there to see if anybody
else is gonna work on this. Similar to VHS hit Fest,
go on YouTube and look up a full movie called
The Skid Kid if I remember right, it is from

(15:28):
like nineteen ninety and essentially.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
This is a I don't even know how to explain this.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
There is a kid that sits down on the street
on nothing and drives and they film it in stop
motion and it's fucking incredible. It is the most VHS
Hit Fest title that I've not seen on VHS hit Fest.
It is really funny. There's some really genuinely good comedy.

(15:57):
I think it came out of Saint Louis, so kind
of close to for me. Was really hoping I could
find the owner and then go over there and try
to interview a bunch of people. But it is a
hell of a good time. Go everybody should go find
the Skid Kid. While you're watching this, put in your
watch later playlist. You'll love it. It is a blast.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Sounds good recent watches.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm going the exact opposite of you, because I watched
just a ton of new stuff. This last weekend was
a ridiculous five feature day, back to back in the
theater for me and my wife, and it was very
all over the place. The low's first because these are
less fun to talk about. I don't know why, but

(16:39):
I watched Bambi The Reckoning in a theater this weekend.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Bad movie.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
First of all, the CGI is god awful, but I
swear about like thirty five minutes of this movie where
somebody asking where's your grandma or where's this person I
left you in the room with because now they're missing it,
now they're in danger. Watch Bamby the Reckoning. It is
an absolute waste of time. It's not even fun kills.
There's complete nonsensical everything. Why did we make that?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Guys? Come on.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Next one that's also bad. The Home starring Pete Davidson.
Watched that this last weekend. It is essentially Pete Davidson
is a I think he's meant to be like an
older teenager, even though he's like thirty seven or however
old he is. He's probably only like twenty six, but
he's been aged like everything. He is somebody that got

(17:32):
in trouble and now he has been sentenced to go
work in this retirement home. And there's a lot of
stuff going on behind the scenes, as it always happens
on these movies, and it's real bad for the entire thing.
And then the last nine minutes are batshit amazing but
the rest of it was such a slog it just
completely soiled it. This might be the worst script I've

(17:53):
seen in years, but at its heart, it feels like
Society mixed with all of the worst movies you could
ever imagine.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh dang, the Society got me like.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I love right right right?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
I love Society, one of my favorite movies of all time.
But then there are the other three that I watched
that day, and these are all pretty decent. Not like killer,
amazing movies, but if you're gonna watch them, these are decent.
The first one is oh Hi, which I think is
going to go under a lot of radars this year.
It is being advertised as a rom com that isn't

(18:27):
necessarily a rom com. It basically turns into like a
thriller after about twenty minutes into the film, and it's
really good. There's some really great dialogue in this. The
script is genuinely strong. It just doesn't go there where
you think it probably should go a few times. It's
a Sony Pictures Classics title, So it's one of those

(18:47):
things that I feel like they could have gone a
little further, and maybe like the pressure from all of
this was just let's pull it back a little bit,
which kind of I feel like it kneecaps a lot
of those movies unfortunately too great.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Usually the next one, this one is.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
A hell of a swing, and that is House on Eden,
which is TikTok stars Selena and Chris Collins.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
This is a found footage film. Did you see this one?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I think this one's coming to shutter, I believe so, yeah, yeah,
it's it's not there yet. I haven't seen it yet,
but I know I will be seeing it. That's all.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
So it's a found footage movie, and that if you're
not in on found footage, you were gonna hate this
movie because it leans heavily into found like it's it's
kind of a little too shaky in some of the scenes.
This is one of those things that I was more
impressed that they made this movie than loved the movie.
Chris Collins directed it, and there's literally only three people

(19:45):
that are in most of the movie. There's like you're
driving by somebody in like a couple scenes, or you
see a couple of questions asked, but that it's literally
less than like ninety seconds of other people. The movie's
pretty good. The acting is pretty decent. The story is
completely believe up until it isn't, which it's a fan
footage ghost story movie basically, so of course, but this

(20:06):
is the same sort of thing. For oh Hi, I
feel like it was it could have been great, and
then they really only went there in like the last
eight minutes, which that part was genuinely good, but I
don't know. For some reason, this one felt a little
more promising because it was such an indie director and
they were kind of just giving it. They're all on
screen and behind the camera, which is nice, But then

(20:27):
the last one. I'm not like huge on Marvel movies
or anything like that, but saw the New Fantastic Four
and I felt like this movie was aggressively fine. It
was just doing everything it could to go right down
the middle, give me a strike and honestly to be
a Fantastic Four movie that was successful. That was all
it had to do. It was the best Fantastic Four
movie by a long shot. That's not hard at this point,

(20:50):
but it wasn't a masterpiece or even it barely would
get to like mid tier Marvel over the grand scheme
of the rankings. For me, I also will say some
egregiously terrible CGI.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
At the end of this movie, you're.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Fucking Marvel and you can't get decent CGI to show
a baby moving like that. That pissed me off beyond
belief because it was it took you out of the
entire movie.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
It was awful. But that's Marvel for you in twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, unfortunately, I'm actually I'm actually going through, sorry, actually
going through and watching all the Marvel movies with my father.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
And how's that going? Watching them back into.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Our next one is The Eternals, and I'm not excited.
I'd seen it before and I just know I'm in
for a bad time again.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
I mean, at least that one was a swing and
different than everything else, but it still wasn't good. Yeah,
you do some major incredible Haul videos.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
So let's hear your fantastic pickups this week.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
Okay, first of all, I got some movies from Diabolic
DABD because it had been a little bit since I
had ordered from them, and they had a pre order
on Cafe Flesh uh, and I really wanted to get
my hands on this because I found out about the
original release of it, which I guess was like the

(22:13):
special edition from your podcast.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
But I listened to it like a week late, and
then it was gone, and so I was like, oh crap,
because I wanted to check this out because isn't it
the same person who did Doctor Caligari yep, and that
is such a weird movie. But I enjoyed it how
weird it was, so I just had the had to.
So I got Cafe Flesh from them, and then I
just picked up some other stuff because like I said before,

(22:37):
I can't just buy one thing. I gotta make it
worth my time. So I got It Follows, which I
didn't believe this, Yeah, the second site release of it follows.
Great film. I typically don't like like ghost ish films, Yeah,
but this one speaks to me. It's very good. And

(22:58):
then doubling up on the Michael Monroe, I got Long
Legs because I love this film. It wasn't like my
top one or two of last year, but it was
my favorite of last year. Just love it so much.
Like the atmosphere, it's so good. So also I OZ
Perkins fan, so that's why I also doubled up on

(23:20):
him and got The Black Coat's Daughter because this is
my favorite film of his. I love it so much. Oh, yeah,
and I was just like, I have to own it,
like I at some point they need to own it.
So and then I'm going to force my wife to
watch this with me in October. So it's gonna happen.
It's gonna happen. So then I also purchased okay, whoops,

(23:43):
dropping stuff. Let me go through some of the other
vinegar syndrome stuff I picked up. I got the Shanghai Triad.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh nice. I wanted to see that one.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Looks really good. Don't know much about it, but I
just you know, it looked awesome. It's very highly rated
from what I saw in letterbox, so I was like, yeah,
I should get this because it was on sale. I'm like,
let's do that VHS hitfest night. I heard this is
like some like schlubby homely vampire dude in the city.

(24:17):
It looks stupid, but my kind is stupid, so I'm
very interested in that. Also got well, I got to
look at this one. Is this all right? I think
Traffic Desires are Traffic of Desire and Fantasy World the
double pack, and then sorry, I kind of painted myself

(24:42):
back into a corner here, all right, there we go,
and then the last place I ordered from was is
it Travis who owns Odyssey Movies. Yes, okay, sure, So
I wanted to support him, and I saw I had
some cool stuff on there, so I made a purchase
from his site, osseymovies dot com. So I did did
my first indicator, which body double.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Want to get special features there.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I've never seen it, been wanting to see it for
quite some time, so I had to get it. Finally,
the Lost Boys on four K because I don't have it,
and I was like I should, and also coincidentally I
got this, and then I booked. I got tickets to
go to the Mahoning Drive in in Pennsylvania to see

(25:26):
this a thirty five millimeter and a one hour concert
from Tim Capello before the showing.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's a lot of saxophone.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, pretty excited. Well, he works with this this band
I really like called Gunship, and he phenomenal work with that,
so I'm hoping he does some of their stuff. So
Lost Boys, and then the last two things I got
were Terror Vision. Been really wanting pop Atopoulus because it
just looks ridiculous and fun. And I have to say that,

(25:55):
like Travis put on the site that like a note
with this that is damaged and like I don't know, okay,
I don't know if you'll be able to see it
or not, but like that is the extent of the damage.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's probably it.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
That's like not damage really to me, Like, yeah, I've
had vinegar syndrome stuff damage worse than that.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
But all I can say is, have you met anyone
on the internet because they about that.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I won't.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
And then the last thing I got was the Newly
deads which I've been wanting to check out, so I
have some spaces in what I want to pick up
from terror Vision still, so this has helped out.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
So when you get to the pop a topless disc,
please let me know what you think of our visual essay,
because man, was it?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Oh that's right, you have something on there. I forgot
about that.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, we got wheeled and a wig on that disc.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Oh okay perfect.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I always try to like show people one of our
more like fun side of things that we did, and
I can't share that link because there's nudity in it
and YouTube blocks it, so yeah, ruins everything. I have
some off the wall picks that are not like normal
stuff that I would show and I just kind of
wanted to make it fun, different type of things. So

(27:14):
I heard that Hamilton Book was going to be having
a really great drop compared to normal this last time,
and they did pretty good. There were some really great
prices on stuff. But the biggest thing that kind of
I don't know, excited me. I guess streaming only titles
in the US that got Canadian releases. So I picked

(27:35):
up a few of these on the extra cheap. This
is a Fleabag the Complete Series on Blu Ray. This
was I think either four ninety five or five ninety
five brand new, sealed legit disc of Fleabag the Complete Series,
like an Emmy winning great TV show for five or
six dollars. I don't know how to argue with that.

(27:55):
And then Netflix original titles from last year The Woman
of the Hour, which I thought was pretty great last year.
It was, and I haven't seen it yet, but may
as well get a disc of it because I can't
get in the US. Hit Man actually released in Canada.
I supposedly decent. Have not seen it, but again, like
I think those last two were four dollars five dollars, Wow,

(28:18):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
How do you say no to that?

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Right? Yeah? Take the Chance exactly.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Some off the wall other picks that I don't get
to talk about enough, disco texts Neon Nights series, they've
been doing some really great, you know, titles that I
would normally have to put my finger over like you did,
but they do.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Some really creative editing.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
So this is their Terrifying Girls High School Animal Classmates.
This just came out very clever editing on the cover there.
I've been trying to get more of these because pretty
much every title they've picked for this line has been
really fun, and not all of them are adult risque
pink like this. Some of them are just fun and
silly titles looks. And then on the more pink and

(29:02):
risque line, I have got this really bad feeling that
some of the old Nikatsu titles that Synaps did through
their Impulse line are probably never going to be released
by anyone else because we just don't have good elements
for them. And so I've been trying to pick up
as much of these as I can when I could
get them cheap and I found somebody on Facebook that
would sell me. I think I got nine of these

(29:23):
for ten dollars apiece shipped, and I mean that's pretty great.
So I just shared a couple true story women in jail.
Hell of Love is the first one here, and these
are DVD only, and then I never see this for
sale anymore. This is the Nakatsu Roman Porno trailer collection
that Nikatsu did. I love trailer comps, and I've never

(29:43):
seen a pink film trailer comps.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Sounds like a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I didn't know that existed.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, I think they did. And they're numbered on the side.
I don't know what the highest number is, but they've
got like sixty of them. They only did I think
two of them in Blu Ray out of that entire line.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
The rest are DVD.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
We just don't have great elements for a lot of them, unfortunately.
So yeah, other than that, your channel, we talked about
Vinegar Center, we talked about Shutter. You do like trying
snacks and stuff on your shorts, But you also have
a podcast.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Tell everybody about your podcast.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
So I quit my pot is it?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Okay? So I did for thirteen years. I did a
craft beer podcast, and then I ended up quitting earlier
this year because I just gave up drinking alcohol altogether
for health reasons. Because GI issues basically, and it's just
not worth it anymore. But good timing because the craft

(30:46):
beer industry is skewing a bunch two non alcoholic beers now,
and so I am doing a bunch of non alcoholic
beer reviews that I'm putting on YouTube through shorts, And
actually they've been gaining a decent amount of traction because
there really aren't people reviewing those on there anymore right
or at this point. But there's some phenomenal non alcoholic

(31:07):
beer out there right now. The technology changed, so now
it's good. It used to suck.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
I know this is not and I don't even drink,
but I'm like fascinated with what is the what is
the technology change?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
But we'll talk about that later.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, right, I was going to go into it.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Stuff on your channel. Anything coming up that you want
to highlight.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Well, I am trying to figure out so every year
what I would do during October is that I would
eat the new edition of the bean Boozled.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
So I can't do that this year because I have
braces now, So next year I should be fine, though,
But I'm trying to figure out, like what else can
I do? So I'm trying to figure out should I
eat something else like gross or something I don't know.
I thought about getting like food grade insects or something
to try, you know, something like that, because it's spooky.

(32:04):
I mean, I've added some food grade insects before, but yeah,
I think people get grossed out by that stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Absolutely they do.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
But I don't have anything like super exciting coming up.
Just I love doing like my Vinegar Syndrome haul videos
or any other random ones that I end up doing.
But I get very excited about actually recording the ranking
and review videos that I do for those, because I
think that's super fun. But at the end of the year,
I will definitely do kind of a wrap up of

(32:35):
like my top usually ten or fifteen new horror movies
of the year, and then I'll do a video the
same of my top Vinegar Syndrome releases, which I will
tell you right now that a New Leaf is my
number two so far this year from Vinegar Syndrome. You

(32:56):
want to know what number one is.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
I was trying to think if I could guess based
on what I've seen you like in the past, Just
tell me what's number one.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Let's scare Jessica to death. I love that fucking movie,
and there were release the essays and the special features
add so much extra context to it. It's an unbelievable release.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
I don't remember what you said about what did you
think of the Dirty Work release?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Are you into that?

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Comedy, I quite liked it.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
It was very good.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
It's less Yeah, I'm thrilled that they got into it,
and I kind of think it's hilarious that so many
people are like, oh, why is Vinegar Syndrome released in
this It's it is so perfect, the amount of work
that they went into to make that release incredible, Like
that is exactly what Vinegar Syndrome has always been about.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
What the hell? Definitely all right? Uh, I think that's it.
Ready to get into some announcements because.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Man, you've got a crazy week. I didn't think it
was gonna be that heavy, and Jesus you got some
titles to cover.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Well, I'm just excited when we get to arrow because
there are two films in particular that I'm pumped about.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Well, they are the first up tonight and we get
to cover the Sadness first. This is one that got
announced previously that it was going to be coming through
this partnership with Shutter and it is a UK only title.
This is coming on October twentieth on four K. This
is the standard cover art that you'll get everywhere, but
if you want, you can order straight from the site

(34:21):
and get this ridiculous Johnny Ryan cover art. And it's
pretty funny cover art. But I like that it's on
the opposite side of the sleeve so that nobody has
to feel super left out.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Because I don't know about you.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I don't order direct from Arrow anymore at all, I do.
I mean I haven't in probably about a year or so,
but I.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Would, so the sadness funny enough a Shutter original. We'll
talk about that in just a minute. This one has
a new audio commentary with the writer, director and the
cinematographer on here, two different archival commentaries, five behind the
scenes featurettes, some comparisons. A lot of this stuff is
just archival from a couple of the other extras that

(35:00):
have already come out previously. And then nice looking slip cover.
There's a booklet in here with some older storyboard stuff
and then some new writing by Michelle Kisner and then
the gentleman in the chat right now, mister Josh Hurtado.
That just corrected me that there are five synaps Nakatsu
blu rays. Oh Josh, thanks for hanging out. Can't wait
to read your essay in this the Sadness tell us

(35:23):
about it.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
It's a gross out, intense, ridiculously violent film from Taiwan,
I believe if I'm remembering correctly, Yeah, I remember quite
enjoying it when it was when I saw the screener
before it hit shutter and really telling people, Hey, if
you're like gorehounds and you want some real gross out

(35:45):
stuff that's just like over the top, think inspired by
like a Takashi Mika type deal, this is your jam. Basically.
I for me personally, I liked it. I don't find
myself typically returning to those types of film for like rewatches,
but say it's good. It's a good film, for sure.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
I love a movie that in the we'll say month
after it releases, in reviews, you frequently hear the word
skull fucking, and that is something that you hear about
this movie.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
It happened, It happened.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Good movie.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
It's very much like a send up of how multiple
governments handled the pandemic it is.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
It's not even hiding that at all.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I mean you can tell that that's the case like
eight minutes into this movie.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Well made movie. I think this was the director's first film.
Do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah? It was. Yeah, he was like a like a
US X pad or something.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, in Taiwan.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yeah, and he honestly crushed it for a first time director.
Very well made. There are a couple scenes in this
that you will likely never forget. I mean there's the
scene on the train that is incredible, and then the
basketball court scene is a big one for a lot
of people. But yeah, I love that you say basketball
court and something goes, oh yeah, fun movie.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
If you're not in the gore, you will hate this,
so do not care.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Next up from then, the classic return Living Dead is
hitting four K and Blu ray in a deluxe edition
on October thirteenth over in the UK only. Obviously, Screen
Factory has the rights in the US, so it's not
coming out here and it will not be able to
come out here.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
This is a good looking release.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
A lot of this is on the previous release, but
the big thing the second disc has the More Brains documentary,
which is really really good. Makes this a pretty stacked
release even that has bonus features, which is nice. But
then the big question for everybody that is a purist
about this, the Deadbeat Dance is still not on this release.

(37:43):
Somehow Second Site in their Blu ray steal book that
was released. Gosh, we got to be going on like
ten years ago. Now they're the only ones that were
able to crack being able to get that in the licensing,
So not sure what happened there. Nobody else has been
able to do it. They replace it with another song
like Return the Living Dead.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
I really enjoy the film, and you know, maybe I
need to get this because I just have like an
old Blu ray. I forget who released the one that
I have? Did shout? Did screen Factory do it?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
They did a blue Yeah, and there's a couple like
the studio even did an old blue here I believe.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, I think it's the screen Factory one I have,
So I might have to I might have to do this.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, I bet this is gonna be a great release.
The screen Factory four K looks good. This is likely
the same scan, but it's arrow encoding, so it might
even be slightly better, but it'll be at least as
good as the screen factory for sure.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
This though, is that this is the one, This is
the one.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I'm so excited about the same one.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
October twenty seventh in the UK, October twenty eighth in
the US on four K and Blu Ray. Miss forty
five able from nineteen eighty one. Incredible rape revenge movie
that is just a masterpiece that used to be on
Blu Ray here in the US from draft House has
been out of print.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
For ages for a long time. It was fetching like
eighty dollars on eBay. I hope you didn't.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Pay that, because this is a glorious release that will
absolutely blow it out of the water this release. New
commentary by of course Alexander Helder Nicholas. She literally wrote
the book. She had to be on the commentary. I'm
glad she's on here. New feature ratte with bj Clangelow,
who is incredible. Great choice for this new featurete with
Kat Ellinger who will do great. A bunch of archival interviews. Also,

(39:31):
short film directed by Paul Rockman. A short film directed
by Paul Rockman from both two thousand and four and
twenty eleven.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Just great.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
The fact that they got these, we got a sixty
page perfect bound book with new writing by a bunch
of people, including Kayla Janie and Brad Stevens, who are
on here with archival writing this movie.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Tell us about it and why you're excited.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
It's a wild ass film.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Like I was.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
I do typically in October, like whole day long watch parties,
yeah for you know, my channel, just whoever wants to join.
And one year I had everyone pick a movie and
someone picked Miss forty five, which I had not seen before,
and I was just floored watching this movie. It's one

(40:16):
of those, you know, assault revenge films, and I'm typically
not huge into those, but the way this is shot,
it's so interesting. The character is so interesting because she's
like mute is one of the things about it. It
gets really wild, and the revenge is very satisfying in it,

(40:38):
and it's just it's so interesting. And there's like a
like a trumpet saxophone in it, which doesn't make any
sense to me. I remember watching that and just commenting
on it while we're watching it. I'm just like, why
why does that trumpet sound like a saxophone? Like It's weird,
But it's got a great finish to really good movie
really good and I've been wanting a new release of

(41:01):
this for well ever since I saw it some years ago,
so I got super excited when I saw this.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah, this is very good.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
One thing I did want to highlight, which I didn't
mention at first, but I have to point this out.
One of the best in the game, Sister Hide the
artwork for this, which could have just been the original
poster and all of us would have been happy. But
the way this is a perfect homage of that poster
and the character. This is a master work, and this
is one I would likely hang the poster for this

(41:33):
in the room. It's incredible, absolutely killer choice. Yeah, no
notes this is this is pretty much a perfect choice
for a release for Arrow.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Stoked on this, So next up from them.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
We just talked about this recently and everybody knows it,
so we won't spend a ton of time on it.
But on October twenty seventh in the UK October twenty
eighth in the US, they're doing a steel book version
of their Trigger Treat four K released from two thousand
and seven, the Michael Doherty Anthology. It's a great movie,
most of us love it. That being said, they're clearly
just out to make a lot of money with this,

(42:07):
and granted you'll be able to put out five other
movies that will surprise us, So I'm glad you're gonna
make your bank.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
This has nothing in it that will interest me. I
don't need to steal a book for this movie.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah. I actually bought the four K very recently to
upgrade because I had it on DVD, and then I
upgraded to blue, and then I upgraded again to four
K because I watch it every year. It's one of
my favorite Halloween films. But yeah, I just yeah, And
for people who don't know, they're actually going to be
putting out a new a new comic follow up, I

(42:45):
got in on the Kickstarter for that, so nice should be.
I hope the stories are good.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
And then the quote sequel, I guess has been in
development hell for like forever eleven years literally, Yeah, like
they came out I can't remember. I think it was
at a convention or like a weekend event or something
like that. They came out and said we're announcing Trigger
Tree two and they've never nothing has happened from that
since then. Yeah, next up, though, I will take full

(43:12):
credit for this because clearly they put this together this quickly.
October twentieth UK October twenty first, here in North America,
we're getting a Blu ray of three and three Extremes.
If you watched my this episode with Andy a couple
of weeks ago, we.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Or was that last week. Time is not a real
thing anymore.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
I begged for a Blu ray release of three Extremes
and literally immediately got it answered.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Very very happy that this is coming out.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Not to mention the fact that they also have three
as part of this, I did not think they would
because three Extremes is the big draw for most people.
Very stoked on this. Even though it does not have
the full length release of Dumplings, we don't need it necessarily,
like it would have been a nice icing on the
cake sort of situation. But new two K restoration of
both movies by Arrow just incredible. We are getting new

(44:01):
interviews on pretty much every single thing that we're getting
in this. We're getting commentaries, we're getting older interviews that
are newly edited. This is a really great package of
just some really fun anthology movies.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Have you seen Three Extremes?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yeah? I own it. Actually, I've actually been doing a
series of short videos on my YouTube channel that are
just for the people at the highest level of membership,
the possession level of hidden gems in my collection. And
Three Extremes was one that I did. It's very good.
All the shorts are really well done. My favorite is

(44:39):
cut the one by Well I say, Chamwiok Park. I
know everyone says Park Chamwook. I think that sounds better
is Chamwick Park? So yeah, phenomenal, big fan of that
director anyway.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Yeah, this is a knockout anybody that's been, you know,
crying for this release for years. This is exactly what
we could have wanted for anybody who's never seen it.
I'll bring it up again. Three Extremes specifically, I think
is the better of these two. But it's three shorts.
They're not as short as like most other anthologies that
people refer to when they talk about anthologies, but they're

(45:14):
twenty five ish minutes long, all three of them, all
done by masterworks of the genre. They're incredible. They're as
usual in an anthology. They're not all of the highest quality,
but they're all at least very very good, which is
pretty rare with an anthology. And yeah, Three Extremes is
pretty much a must if you like jahor in any

(45:35):
sense of the word, if you like anthologies.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
This is a must.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Own, very good.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
I'm so stoked for this one.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
I'm less stoked for October sixth in the UK, October
fifth in North America.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
They tease this earlier this year.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
We are getting a four K or a Blu ray
release of Spawn from ninety seven. This if you love
the movie. This is a pretty good solid release of this.
We got four K disc. We'll have the director's cut.
You got a new commentary with Dave Baxter, who is
a podcast host and comic book expert. You've got a
new interview with Michael J.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
White.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
You've got a new interview with Melinda Clark and d B. Sweeney,
new interview with the special effects artist Howard Berger and
Greg Nacato, new interview with the music supervisor Happy Walters.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
There's even more.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
Plus they got archival featurettes on here, and then there's
a second four K disc of the theatrical cut, And
the fact that you're getting both on their own disc
is just really telling of the quality that they're putting
into this. This is going to be a really solid
release for them. Are you a spawn fan Carling.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
I do like this movie and like one of the
best soundtracks out there. Honestly, if you have if you
haven't heard the music from the sound it's pretty good
soundtrack for it, very very good. I like the film. Yeah,
it's not great. I love how stupid John Legozama's performances
and it's like so over the top and ridiculous, like

(46:59):
he was feeling on himself when he was making this movie.
But it's my kind of stupid. I really enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Yeah, yes, we got the comment here isn't spawned that
movie with a really bad cgikpe. Yeah, the CGI in
this movie is really terrible, and honestly, I am kind
of worried about what the four K is gonna make
the CGI look like, because there's no way in hell
they went back to rerender all of it.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
So yeah, who bully.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Yeah, one that I wouldn't mind rewatching, but this is
not one that I'm gonna pue. And then for many people,
this was maybe the biggest title of this month. October
twenty seventh of the UK. October twenty eighth in North America,
A four K only released no blu ray disc of
John Carpenter's in the Mouth of Madness.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Amazing movie. This is not one that.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
Gets enough attention ever, and it's because it's Carpenter. If
this was almost any other director, this would be their
best movie.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
It is. It is that good.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Sammy is incredible in this movie. Some of the effects
and what they do with the setting of this movie
are surreal in the best of ways. This is just
really great lovecraft. As far as extras, we got a
new commentary by Rebecca mckendrey and Elrick Kine, who you've
heard on podcast for years if you're a horror fan.

(48:20):
Newly filmed interview with Sandy King Carpenter, which is really great,
a new interview with Jurgen prac Now, and then all
kinds of archival extras. But then new writing by Guy Adams,
Richard Cadre, George Daniel, Lee, Willow, Caitlin Maclay, Alexander West
and again in the chat mister Josh Hurtado.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
This is a masterpiece. And look at that. We got
a cat.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
This is Willow. This is the older one. I thought
she wouldn't show up, but she's also a lab pound.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
She loves laps, had to make an appearance.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Nice she's a gorgeous girl. She also has very stubby limbs.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
So in the mouth of madness, how are you feeling
about this one?

Speaker 3 (48:59):
I really enjoy this film. I think this film is great,
Sam Neil, like you said, is phenomenal, and it's it's
a very effective horror film, but it's also really fun
at the same time, like getting all the pieces of
the Sutter Kane story that end up manifesting in this town.
It's a great ride. I love it.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Yeah, there's so much about this movie that makes it
unique and special, and if you've never seen it, please
please make an effort to even if you're like not
a fan of usual Carpenter things he has done, Just
like Aaron is saying the chat, He's done so many
off the wall different genres mixed in with things. I mean,
Assault on Precinct thirteen is a Western basically, but this

(49:43):
is an absolute masterpiece in his filmography. I think it's
it's pretty perfect. It's just it's Carpenter, and if it
wasn't him, this would be looked at as an all
time classic, and I think it is. You had a
question from Ronnie. Is Willow named after Willow from Buffy?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Actually I still actually haven't even seen Buffy. But she
we actually named her Willow because she actually went through
a lot before we got her, and willow trees, there's
this whole thing about bending but not breaking type thing,
So it was this poetic thing about all the stuff
she's been through. She had a lot of health issues,

(50:23):
her previous owner passed away, she was separated from her brother. Like, yeah,
she had a hard time, but she's been doing great now.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Well, and she's older, so must be good on well
she's six.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Yeah, all right, go into our next one, which again
crazy that you got this line up this week because
we got a lot of fun stuff to cover. The
next Mondo Micabro pre order session is going to be Thursday,
next Thursday, August seventh, at nine am Pacific noon Eastern.
All three of these are coming on Blu Ray, and

(50:57):
they are going to be limited lower than usual. Again,
not inducing fomo in anyway. If you don't like these titles,
don't buy him, nothing like that. But if you're in
one of those people that's like, I'll get Monta Micabro soon.
They are limiting all three of these to only a thousand.
They just didn't think that they would sell super well,

(51:18):
so they're limiting to less than they normally do because
it's kind of a low key drop. But if you're
into their sort of genre fair that they do at
Mondta Micabro, these all sound incredible to me, so you
may want to pay attention if you're normally into that.
So this first one is The Power of Darkness from
nineteen seventy six. This one is the first English friendly

(51:38):
release of this title, and they say this is a
must watch for adventurous film watchers. Brand new two K
restoration or sorry it doesn't say brand new, I'm assuming
it's fairly new two K restoration from the original nag.
On this one there is the Spanish language track with
newly translated optional English subtitles. I believe they corrected this
later to say the dubbs here.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Don't quote me on that one.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
I will have to check my notes, and they added
it after I posted these. There is a short video
that's just teaching you about the film. And then in
the extras they got a twenty four page booklet on
the history of Argentinian genre films, which to me, like
that sounds like a musk read sort of thing. Monta Acabra.
Have you other than what you just showed in the pickups?
Have you checked out much from them in the past?

Speaker 3 (52:20):
Not a lot. I did purchase Bahachi Bushido, which I
have not watched. Amazing movie, and there was something else
I had gotten from them, and I can't remember what
it was. Oh, In the Folds of the Flesh, which
is a really wild Giallo film. I'm big into Giallo,
by the way. I have a ton of Giallo reviews

(52:40):
and giallo esque reviews on my channel. I went through
a stint of like two years where I was watching
and in depth reviewing tons of those films. But In
the Folds of the Flesh is one of the wildest
endings to like a Giallo film. I've seen so but
this one. I'd not familiar with this film, but it
sounds kind of interesting thing. And when you say Argentinian,

(53:02):
I haven't seen a lot of Argentinian film. I just
think Damien Rubna is pretty much all I think of
at this point. So yeah, I'm adventurous. Maybe I need
to get it. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
Yeah, Yeah, this is one that's a must for me
for sure, especially I really want to read that essay.
Next up, Forbidden Game of Love from nineteen seventy five.
This one says again the first English friendly release of
this film. It is fully uncut and restored from the
original negative. Here this is a new four K restoration

(53:33):
from the negative. The Angel Sala, who is the Citrus
Film Festival director. There is a piece on here by
Angel who's doing a piece on the director. Alloyd Dela
Galicia Dala Glacia has got releases from Severn and I
think one of the Vinegar Syndrome partner labels in the

(53:53):
last couple of years. A lot of stuff sort of
getting rediscovered in this filmography and so so what I've
seen from this director, I've truly enjoyed again twenty four
page booklet and Ismaeil Fernandez is the one that's writing
in this one. And to me, yeah, this is like
the perfect sort of Mono Macabro type of releases.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with this one.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Same Josh says.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
The thing I love about Mona Micabro is that about
ninety percent of their releases are films I've never seen
or heard of. And I feel the same way about
Deaf Crocodile. Both of those groups are the curation is
off the wall, just perfect for my taste and discovery
because again, like you know, we were talking about vinegar
syndrome earlier, a lot of stuff that VS is sort

(54:39):
of leaning heavily on now I've seen at some point
I'd much rather be be, you know, uncovering gems like
this that I never heard of.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
And then we got a question.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Silent Manawal says, Ryan, you said these are only limited
to a thousand. Yes, but they will likely still get
a standard later, so don't don't feel pressured to buy
the limited necessarily. I just if you're one that is
going to get the limited, you might want to get
it earlier than later, and it will still like the
If you're going to buy all three, they do a
bundle discount and you get I think a couple bucks

(55:11):
off of the price and a couple bucks off of shipping.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
So if you really want all three, it is kind
of a good way to get all of them.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
And then Reservoir says I blind by every Mondo Macabro title.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
They've earned it.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Yeah, I honestly say, exactly the same. And their last one,
which is one that I may be the most excited about,
this is called I Hate My Body from nineteen seventy four,
and this is sort of continuing their gender questioning releases

(55:42):
that they've been putting out recently, and I just wanted
to read this one because it sounds so interesting. Lectrois
businessman Ernest and Peter go out for an evening of
fund with two girls from work. There's a lot of
drinking and dancing and more than a little suggestion of
frolics to follow, particularly when Ernest has the idea that
they swap partners. The two men set off in their cars,
but their rest active dates. Ernest, in no fit state
to be behind the wheel, roars with laughter as they

(56:04):
speed off into the dark night. Momentarily distracted as he
glances at his attractive passenger, he loses control of the car.
They crash into the side of a bridge and the
vehicle burst into flames. The bodies are rushed to the
nearest hospital, where both Ernest and his passenger are certified
dead on arrival. However, the hospital surgeon, doctor Adolph Berger,
a former medic in a Nazi death camp, discovers that

(56:26):
Ernest's brain is still intact. Encouraged by his female assistant,
Lydia Berger, decides to try out his long cherished experiment
transplanting a brain from one body to another. However, the
only body available is that of a young woman, Leida Schmidt,
also technically dead in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Morgue.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Casting aside all scruples, Berger begins the operation. This outrageous film,
which now has much contemporary relevance, was directed by horror
specialist Leon Klimowsky, the man behind Paul Nashy's Werewolf and
the Vampire Woman and numerous other Spanish Fanca TAYR classics.
Immediately on that last part, I am super in brand
new four K restoration from the OCN. This is the

(57:06):
one where they got the dubs, so not that earlier.
One choice of the English dub or the original Spanish
with optional English subtitles. We got an interview with the
actor Manuel de Place. We got an interview with Spanish
film expert Angel Sala again about the film itself, and
then an audio commentary by Rod Barnett and Troy Gwyn
of the nash cast. And then another twenty four page
booklet by Ishmael Fernandez. Yeah, this sounds really interesting.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
It sounds wild, and I'm gonna bat make it a
prediction that the first thing this dude does when he
wakes up in a woman's body is played with his
new titties.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
It would not surprise me in the leg It.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
Has to like, I feel like that's what they would do.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Siboner is saying Adolf Berger was the rejected McDonald's character
back in the seventies. I heard that was the fifties.
But anyways, let's keep going. So yeah, that's Monta macab
next Thursday, nine am Pacific twelve Eastern in the morning.
Check that out if you are into Monto Macabre. Limited
to one thousand for all three Imprint last week during

(58:13):
this show, they don't give me any rest. Of course,
brand new releases for their Imprint Asia line September twenty fourth.
All of these are coming on Blu Ray out of
Australia and they're probably can be a little expensive.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
The first one is.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
Father Knows Best, a trilogy directed by the one and
only Ang Lee. This includes Pushing Hands from nineteen ninety one,
The Wedding Banquet from nineteen ninety three, and Eat Drink
Man Woman from nineteen ninety four. There are new interviews
on here. There is some archival extras. There is kind
of a lot on these three films, and if you

(58:48):
are into ang Lee, this looks like a pretty great release.
Very very happy to see that they're doing something as
exhaustive as this. Looks like a really fun, fun title.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Actually, yeah, I don't know anything about these films.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
I don't either, but Angley is really great and I
definitely want to see these Agreed.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Agreed.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Brian says, Pushing Hands is very worth watching. Nice, the
original wedding Banquet is great. Haven't seen the other two?
An Angley box set, says Craig, Yeah, check it out, Craig, U,
Let's go to our next one. This is the Autumns
Sorry and Autumns Tale from nineteen eighty seven. This is

(59:33):
Imprint Asia number twenty nine. This is limited to fifteen
hundred copies. This has a new audio commentary by Walt
Cha who is on all of the Deaf Crocodile releases
writing in their booklets.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Great writer, great critic.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Gonna be an incredible, incredible commentary, guaranteed a couple interviews
on here. But not a title that I have seen before,
although I think this was released by eighty eight Films
if I'm remembering right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yeah, I haven't seen this either, but that that dude
looks very awkward standing the way he is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
An Autumn's Tale was released by them over in the UK. Yeah,
last last July.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Funny enough, the not the greatest cover art but no,
but that's probably the original poster.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Sadly going to the last one from them. This is
nineteen ninety four's picture Bride. This is the first time
this has been on Blu Ray anywhere in the world.
This is it was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award
and this has the big draw for this one. Tashiro
Mafune in his final film role in nineteen ninety four.

(01:00:44):
That is pretty damn rad. We got a new visual
essay on this by Walt Shaw, so he's on two
of this month's releases. A new interview with the professor
Disa Kmao, and then there is some archival extras on here,
including an audio commentary from the from the director.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Yeah to shear Muffune, you into Muffune at all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Not familiar whatsoever, but this artwork looks better.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Kurisawa's right hand man and.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
Most of his folks okay, perfect.

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Let's keep going, man. Maybe one of the most controversial
announcements of the week, except I've posted about a nightmare
on Elm Street, so probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
But uh.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
September twenty third US release from Decal of Watch the
Skies from twenty twenty two. Now why is this controversial?
So listen to this second paragraph. Watch the Skies is
the world's first theatrical full length feature to use AI
for immersive dubbing, making the characters appear to be speaking

(01:01:45):
English even though the original film was shot in Swedish.
This pioneering approach, made by AI company Flawless, seamlessly integrates
the voices of the dubbing actors, so it's not using
somebody else's voices, it's their own voices into the film,
ensuring perfect lip sync and eliminating the need for subtitles altogether.
Note one, I want subtitles? Why are we eliminating those?

(01:02:08):
Those are a good thing, not a bad thing. The
film is dubbed by the original Swedish cast speaking English,
with full endorsement from SAG That's Note two. This is
a problem. No thank you, Flawless is leading the charge
in this is Note three? How is this a sentence?
Ethical AI filmmaking? Pushing boundaries and creating a new era

(01:02:30):
of cinematic storytelling. This is one that I posted the
trailer for this, and I want everybody to open the
trailer if you can here. I'll even post the link
in the chat. Open this in a new tab, just
so you can get pissed off with me after the show.
This is a wild trailer. So they are saying they

(01:02:55):
didn't use the word flawsley, what does it say ensuring
perfect lip sync?

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
That might be true, but the crazy thing you watch
this trailer, some of their lips look like they're from a.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Looney Tunes cartoon.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
This does not look good to me. This is a
hard no.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
I'm also pissed because they did not give any details
on if it includes the original version. It's like they
only listed, Hey, we are dubbing this with our own voices.
Be proud of us. This is a crazy thing to do,
especially because this got a short festival run in the
original Swedish in the US already. Why are we going

(01:03:35):
through the trouble of doing this?

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Yeah, I don't. It's one of those things where it's
like we can do it, so we're gonna do it.
Didn't think whether it was a good idea or not.
And I mean that's just AI in general, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
But yeah, there there is so much problematic in this announcement.
For me, I agree with Colton here. Don't get rid
of subtitles. There are many of us that are not
even necessarily hard of hearing itself.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
But many of us are, first of all.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
But second, there are a lot of us that just
can't capture it all by listening and watching the visuals
at the same time. And so we want a way
to back up the dialogue in case you miss a
part of a line. And this is just a bad
idea through and through. I don't know if this is
just an I don't know, like a try to grab
the dumb American audience essentially of hey, we don't go

(01:04:32):
to foreign films, Well you don't have to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
This is in English.

Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
If that's the case, Like just overall, boo, this is
a bad, bad move.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Not into it. I will I'm not gonna watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
And that's the shitty part. I've heard. This is really good.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Even Josh just said he saw it on the festival
circuit and it was good in the original Swedish.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
And we just don't need.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
This, So will it be available in Swedish anywhere in
the US. Will you be able to stream it somewhere?

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
I'm not sure. They've not announced if the original will
be available. The worst thing is this is available in
the original Swedish overseas without English subtitles, So if you
want the original and they don't do it here, you're
probably fucked. Yeah, yeah, and that sucks. Carrying on, we

(01:05:25):
are getting a release soon from a Bushel Productions, which
is just the production company of the director for this.
This is Cheech and Chong's last movie from twenty twenty four.
I am shocked that this is getting not only a
four K release, but a four K steel book and
we're rolling it out for those that don't know, this
is a documentary of sorts, just about the Cheech and

(01:05:47):
Chong story that they made just in the last few years.
Did not get a huge rollout. I think most people,
even the ones that love Cheech and Chong, did not
get a chance to see this yet. So here we are.
Were you ever a bit Cheech and Shaw guy?

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
I haven't seen a single movie. I mean, I could
enjoy it potentially, but I don't know. It's It's never
really appealed to me that much. It seems a little
too dumb for what I'm into. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
On top of the appealing there we were just talking
about a the art on this is very clearly really
bad AI pretty much across the board, on the front
and the back.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Yeah, this is also not for me, not a fan.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
Back to back November third, over in the UK, they
are putting out a four K steel book of the
Bride of Frankenstein. They shouldn't be surprising. They at universalos
milk to these for the last almost one hundred years
and they will continue to forever. But to me, this
might be the worst art I've seen for a Universal
Monsters release ever. I'm sure some people like this, but

(01:07:01):
to me, this is just the laziest, laziest cover art
to just slap her on there and take out all
of the heart and soul of this Universal Monsters.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Ye are you into those?

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
I actually have not seen any of them. I have
the whole box set, the Blu ray box set, and
I keep meaning to watch through them like some October
or something, and I just haven't gotten there. There's just
too many movies.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Yeah, that is unfortunately the truth. I love this comment
from Chris, so I wanted to point this out. I
didn't see this wording on the last announcement. It said
includes never before seen features on a streaming movie's physical
media release. So yeah, of course nobody has seen them.
It's a brand new film and this is the first
release that isn't on a shitty streaming service. Oh man,

(01:07:54):
that's funny, And of course I have to do that
at least once a week.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Next up.

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
I believe this was announced tech comicm this last weekend,
September twenty third. We are getting a four K blu
ray and DVD release here in the US from Warner
Brothers of as Tech Batman Clash of Empires from just
this year. Now, to me, this sounds really cool, and
I really like this cover art. I gotta admit I
watched the trailer and I'm not stoked on the animation

(01:08:20):
style on it, but I do kind of want to
support this. DC is usually really great with animated stuff
that they're doing. This says it's the bold reimagining of
the Batman legend unfolds within the vibrant and fierce culture
of the sixteenth century Meso America. In the time of
the Aztec Empire. Tragedy strikes Yohuali Codal, a young Aztec boy,

(01:08:41):
when his father is murdered by Spanish conquistadors. To Warren
King Maktazumana's high priest Yoka of imminent danger, Johuali escapes
to I'm not gonna say this word, right, Tanatchien. That's
probably completely wrong there. He trains at the temple of
the bat god Zenekian. That's also wrong, with his developing
equipment and weaponry to confront the Spanish invasion and avenge

(01:09:03):
his father's death. Along the way, he encounters key figures
like the fierce Jaguar woman and the enchanting forest Ivy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
I like this idea overall.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
There's some behind the scenes stuff on here, some interviews
with some of the screenwriters and stuff. Yeah, DC Animation,
Are you into any of that stuff?

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
Well, I think that word may have been tenactitlan.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Most likely potent. Yeah, but I do like.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Some animated stuff here and there. The as tech aspect
of it sounds very interesting to me. As far as
the animation style thing goes. I was not a fan
of the animation style of Predator Killer of Killers. But
I ended up really liking that film, Like I just
got used to it after a certain amount of time,
So don't let it hold you back.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
The big thing I want to point out here I
love that DC did this because what they are burying
the lead with here is they went and hired all
Mexican animators to make some thing for Mexican animation. I
believe this is the entire studio that did this is
all for Mexico. Love that they did this, Love that
they did something so unique and used styles in a

(01:10:11):
way that was just really great.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
I am super curious to check this out, but I
will wait for reviews for sure. I don't post a
lot of the music ones, but this one was so
damn personal to me I had to. September twelfth, We're
getting a blu ray here in the US from Warner
Music of Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free The Making
of Wildflowers from twenty twenty one. This is so cool

(01:10:35):
because in early twenty twenty a collection of sixteen millimeter
film was discovered in Petty's archive, including never before seen
footage capturing during the making of Wildflowers. I was huge,
huge into Tom Petty growing up. He was the first
person I ever saw on concert when I was like
three years old. I have pretty much everything Tom Petty

(01:10:57):
I could love. And this is just so rad that
we're getting something like this. Yeah, we'll be checking this out.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
This poster is hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
In October, we are getting a Blu Ray release in
the US from Keno and Dark Force joining forces on
this one of the X from nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
This is.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
Directed by Mark Lester, who did Class of nineteen eighty
four and Firestarter Commando Showdown a Little Tokyo. They make
sure that they highlight that the art is not final here,
but this is the theatrical poster, which if that is
telling you of the quality of this movie, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
It reminds me of the CGI in Wish Master, which
I love wish Master, but that part where like I
think it's Kane Hodter's character like flies apart, like it
looks like that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Yeah, it is bad.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
Yeah, I don't like that scene. I remember Ronnie saying,
I hope you'll consider posting more music Blu Ray news.
I do for at least when it's visual. The hard
part is a lot of these classic albums are getting
Blu ray releases right now to get the highest fidelity
of audio, so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
I'll do my best, Runnie, I promise.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
We talked about this show fairly recently when the first
one got announced, so we won't go too deep into this,
but September one, Old Gold Media over in the UK
is releasing the Sweeney series two. Are you Are you
super into like British shows?

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
I used to watch a bunch with my parents when
I was younger, and my mom is like all about
britt Box and a Quorn TV and stuff like that,
so this is probably something she would be interested in.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
I just I think that it's incredible that they're genuinely
restoring all of these episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
That is really cool.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
I mean this is yeah, this is from nineteen seventy five,
so a fifty year old show that doesn't have like
any pop culture relevance right now unless you're from that generation.
It's really cool that they're willing to go back there
and do that. There is all kinds of extras on here, interviews, introductions, commentaries,
but solid looking set.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
If you're into British TV, I.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
Am going to take a bathroom break. I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
Please do. I'll know you got it. I'm gonna keep
going with a couple of these. September twenty ninth, we
are getting a four K only release in the UK
from screen Bound Pictures of the Return of Swamp Thing
from nineteen eighty six. This is a decent looking release
compared to the US release. There is only archival stuff

(01:13:36):
on here, but they do have some like paper extras
if you're into those things. But the big thing here
this is Heather Locklear. What is this like? Airbrushed abomination
on the right in this picture art for some of
these releases this week is just pure terrible, not my

(01:13:58):
thing movie, but good lord, these are not great. Next
up in twenty twenty six, Keno is releasing a four
K of Hang Them High. This is the Eastwood film
from nineteen sixty eight. Previously, this was a Shout select title.
So kind of interesting that Keino pulled this one out.

(01:14:21):
I don't think that Shout was ever going to renew this.
I have a feeling it probably didn't sell that well
for them because it was a very out of nowhere.
I'm sure this will look great. Keino is kind of
grabbing all of the Eastwoods that they could, and uh yeah,
I'm sure this will be great and we'll find out
more about this soon when we get some details. We

(01:14:43):
did get art on this, and of course it happened
about a day and a half after I posted this,
so this is just the original poster art, but the
new art is up on the fun City site, so
you can go check that out now. We are getting
a blu ray soon from Fun City of Goodbye Columbus
from nineteen sixty nine. This slip cover is going to
be exclusive to the fund City website and a diabolic DVD.

(01:15:03):
As usual, this is going to have some special features
on here. We got a new video interview with the
composer Charles Fox, new audio commentary by friend of the
channel Bill Ackerman, booklet with new essay by Jim Healy,
and then they're going to be creating some new extras
that will be on here. We don't even know a
release date yet, This will be coming soon. Fund City

(01:15:24):
is kind of just quietly killing it. Definitely gonna have
Jonathan from Fun City on again here soon and we'll
be asking about this and the fabulous stains, which we'll
hear more about here soon. Are you into fun City
Editions at all, Carlin, I.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
Haven't seen anything from them.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
They got some good titles. Definitely recommend checking them out.
Weber is asking when is the announced Fun City release
of Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Staints coming. It has
been sort of delayed that they had some work coming
on it, but we never got an announcement date on
it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
So it is coming, we just don't don't know exactly when.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
September one, We're getting a four K release over in
the UK of The Alto Knights from this year. This
is starring Robert de Niro and Robert de Niro, one
of multiple films this year with an actor playing multiple roles.
I've heard this is terrible. I will not be buying this,
but I know Craig has probably seen this or we'll
be seeing it. Did you see the Auto Knights this year?

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
And the artwork looks not great. And I don't know, like,
is DeNiro doing good stuff now?

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
I mean he did with Killers of the Flower Moon
at least.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
I haven't seen that, but I heard great things.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
It's a great movie.

Speaker 4 (01:16:39):
I think that one's even sort of slept on for
his Corsese movie. Craig says he needs this. Oh man,
we got jokes. I prefer soprano Knights, and then I
prefer Shanghai.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Aaron and Adam. That was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:59):
Next up the Tom Savini Notither Living Dead, which we
covered on here a couple of weeks ago. Just wanted
to point out that this is getting a release in
the UK, just like I speculated. This will be coming
on September twenty second, which means the US release will
be coming the following day, September twenty third, which is
ending up being a very busy day for releases in
the US. If you are into horror, September and October

(01:17:23):
are going to be a troublesome time for you and
your bank account.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
Yeah. And even though this is getting a nice look
and release and it is a good movie, I bet
Tom Savini is still salty.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Probably even though he got his exact cut on here,
which is crazy. It's just Sevinien and he's always salty.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
By the way, this was approved for the uncut release
over in the UK, so all of the release details
will be the same for here in the US and
the UK, so you don't have to worry about that.
I know a lot of people are worried about getting
this release because it's sold very quickly on Amazon. If
you see a store selling the u K release.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
It's the same thing. Just picked up. Man, this is
so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
So October fourteenth, cult EPEX putting out School in the
Crosshairs from nineteen eighty one. This is the Nobahiko Obayashi
film that is just sort of beautiful. This is the
same director of house and if you've never seen this,
which this was released by Third Window Films over in
the UK a few years ago in a box set
of all of the Katakawa films. This is a really

(01:18:29):
hard to describe film and that's why the art looks
like this, because it is sort of bonkers all across
the film. This is a two K restoration of the movie.
We got a new audio commentary by Max Robinson, new
visual essay on here by Philip Jeffries that I produce.
I think the visual essay on this is incredible for
those that have never heard any of Philip Jeffries' visual essays.

(01:18:52):
He did a really great one on the Guadaninho Suspirior
release from Imprint from God, I don't know it was
that last year. The before and now I don't remember,
but Philip loves music, and he loves speaking about history
of music primarily, and so hearing about how the nineteen eighties,
like the rise of synth wave music and actual technology

(01:19:16):
behind synthesizers affected everything in the world. It's an incredible essay.
I really hope people appreciate it. I think it's amazing.
And then another friend, Sam, who was on the show
just a couple months ago, did the artwork for this
and the rest of the Obiyashi titles.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
I hope you check it out. This is fantastic.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
And also there is a twenty four page reproduction of
the original Japanese booklet that was put out for this
movie in this release.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Yeah, this is incredible. Yeah, anything you want to say
about this one.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
When you said, the same guy who did House, I
love how ridiculous House is. And once you said that,
then the cover art made made sense, right, I was
just like, this looks wid And then I'm just like, oh,
the same dude who did House. Okay, makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
Well, And not only that, there are things in this
that are like legitimately a send up of some of
the things in the House where he's like, it's almost
like an in Easter Eggue sort of situation where he's
doing it for his own movie.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
I think people will truly appreciate this.

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
There are like great Japanese pop stars in this that
really really great singers, and there's a lot of music.
Music is a big part of these part of this.
And then there is an upcoming release of Too Old
to Die Young that Philip Jeffries did another piece on that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
I hope you can check it out.

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
And then kind of on my selfish side, I just
want to point out PHILP. Jefferies has taken a wild
swing for me. He is writing a piece on American
fascism for my magazine, The Physical Media Advocate, which will
be coming out the next few months, and it's gonna
rock your world because we've talked about what it's gonna include,
and it's it's gonna go there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Well, it's not topical at all.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
I thankfully there's nothing happening that that will be looked
at as inflammatory or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
So that's great.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
I will say a little interesting fact about me, I
like jpop music makes me the favorite artists Little Glee Monsters,
pretty good, Bump of Chicken, Lisa, great of chicken yeah bump,

(01:21:29):
yeah yo yo. Soob's good. There's a lot of good ones.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
All right, let's go to the next one, which is,
of course a paramount rehashing of a title October seventh,
We're getting a four K steal book of the masterpiece Clue. Now,
this might be a little weird because Shout Factory already
released a four K of Clue, and this will probably
be the exact same disc essentially. They might they might

(01:21:55):
even bungle the encoding because this paramount and they do
that sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
But I love this. I gotta be honest. I think
this is a masterpiece.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
And yeah, I hope people check this out if you've
never seen it, because it is still very very good
with an immaculate cast.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
How do you feel about Clue?

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I love it. It's a phenomenal film. I love like
the multiple endings thing they do in it, and just
the whole cast works together so well in the film.
The story is so well put together for being based
off a board game.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
And just like Tim Curry in it, like how that
scene where he's just like running all over the place
and saying like and then this happened, and this happened
it's phenomenal. I do love this movie. My wife loves
it too, We watch together every now and then.

Speaker 4 (01:22:42):
Yeah, it's it's stupendous. I really want to point out
Mozart's ghost comment here, which is the year of the
steel Book. Honestly, that has been a depressing part of
this week is I feel like every single announcement is
just a steel book, and I know most people don't
want that, which is rough. I mean, we're gonna start
alienating a portion of the collectors to make a portion

(01:23:02):
that will spend all of their money on steel books
very happy, and that sucks at the end of the day.
All right, So that is clue. Next up, Oh god,
I forgot this was this week. October seventh. Paramount is
releasing a on Flux on four K from two thousand
and five. For the record, this movie was finished in

(01:23:24):
two K and has very poor CGI. This is another
one of those that I don't understand why we're putting
this in four K.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
I get that there.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
Could be like a small bump in color grade if
you do a really great HDR pass. This doesn't need
to be on four K. The whole era from like
ninety eight to twenty twelve ish is always going to
be questionable and if they should be in four K,
but specifically this movie, this is a bad choice.

Speaker 3 (01:23:56):
I've not seen this movie. I just remember that I
saw like a clip of it where like she almost
fell on some blades of grass that were like kind
of alive and like super sharp about to like get
her in the chant or something. It was weird.

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
Yeah, uh yeah, Craig is exactly right because there are
cry babies that are four K or die, which will
also kill the physical media industry very very.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Quickly if they don't stop. Hey.

Speaker 4 (01:24:26):
I put up a new interview this week with Anthony
from Petrick Glyph Media. They're the ones that put out
this funeral Siniestro and Triangulo de Oro double feature. This
is their first and still only release. I hope you
check it out. They are a very very small operation
doing their best to raise enough to do a second title.
And I think it's a good conversation nice in short
like thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Yeah, yeah, I listened to it. It is a very
good conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (01:24:51):
Appreciate that I wasn't gonna do this. I was just
gonna sort of quietly drop it tomorrow. But fuck it,
why not? So I'm gonna tease something that's pretty big.
I put up a story on Instagram and Facebook today
that had a picture of Honey Shrunk the Kids that said,
on Disconnected tomorrow. I am stoked that I have other

(01:25:13):
than Sean Baker, probably my biggest interview yet on my
channel dropping tomorrow. And I still can't believe this happened.
But I have the one and only Brian Usna stopping
by for like a seventy five minute conversation, and I
mean I just sit back kind of quietly for most
of it and let him ramble about some of the

(01:25:34):
best stuff. I hope people like this, and I hope
everybody watches it because it is a big deal. Yusna
is one of the kindest, most generous people in the world.
I don't think this is in the interview, but I
brought Will on at the end, and Brian Usna is
Will's favorite director of all time, literally, And this is

(01:25:55):
why I wanted to bring it up, because earlier we
mentioned society and it is so timely to bring it
up with him coming on tomorrow. But Will is going
to have Brian Usena, who offered to zoom in to
Will's class this fall, and that just shows you the
type of person that he was. And it is wild

(01:26:15):
that just offering from a name like Brian Usena is
just second nature. He is so willing to be a
part of things. Yeah, I hope people like it. It's
a good time, it's a fun interview. The edit was
very difficult because I tried to put a lot of
work into it, and I hope you like it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:30):
I'm pretty excited about that because he's phenomenal and it's
always great to hear that people whose work you really
appreciate are actually great people in real life.

Speaker 4 (01:26:42):
So yeah, but other than society, what are some of
your favorites of him?

Speaker 3 (01:26:47):
I mean, his involvement with the re Animators obviously. Wasn't
he involved with the Silent Night Deadly Knight four initiation yep,
which that whole franchise is a lot of fun, except
for three. Three is horrendously bad. I cannot watch that
ever again. But all the other ones great time. But yeah,
I think five is underrated for sure. Also, wasn't there

(01:27:10):
wasn't there a movie that he was involved with, Necronomicon that, like,
is there a release for this ever?

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
I tried to watch it some years ago and I
couldn't find it anywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:27:21):
There is a release, it's in the UK or Germany.
It's on Blu Ray, and I think it's region free,
but it is if I remember. I think there's something
with licensing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
That it's quite likely it will never be on in
the US unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
Uh Jesus. Jim says, Brian is a good friend of mine.
He comes over to my house to watch Blu rays.
What in the world, gym that's wild?

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
Uh oh.

Speaker 4 (01:27:45):
Josh says, there's a French Blu Ray. Is that the
one I have? Is that the only Blu ray release?

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Josh? Huh? Interesting. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
One of the other reasons I want to talk about
this is tomorrow, I think, depending on the timeline of
Amazon approving it, either tomorrow or Saturday. The newest issue
of The Physical Media Advocate is dropping, and there's a
big piece on us.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Not at the end, because.

Speaker 4 (01:28:08):
Jeremy went to a Q and A with him recently
and we talked about him and a couple others and yeah,
it's a you're gonna enjoy it. It's a really, really
great conversation. Next up, let's get into the quote biggest
news of the week, which everybody makes a big deal about.
September twenty third in the US. Here we are getting

(01:28:30):
a standard release of A Nightmare on Elm Street four
K seven film collection. The UK release is going to
be the day before. It'll be on the twenty second.
This is going to have the theatrical and uncut versions
of a Nightmare and Elm Street and A Nightmare and Elm.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
Street five, the Dream Child.

Speaker 4 (01:28:49):
They're gonna have three D glasses for the portion of
Freddy's Dead the Final Nightmare, and it says there will
be blood curdling special features and we don't have release
details on that front yet. Now, this is crazy. Everybody
went nuts for this. You can pre order this still.
It's available on Amazon. The steel book collection for this
that we're gonna be talking about in a few minutes

(01:29:10):
as well in the US seems to be out of
print already, and that happened before it even technically got announced,
and there was artwork for it. But we're gonna talk
about the artwork in just a moment. But first, your
feeling is on Imary Elm Street. How do you rank
it across the other franchises, How do you feel about it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
I think it's a really good franchise. I quite enjoy it.
I mean it's no like Phanfasm franchise. I will say,
like that's my favorite, but no, it's very strong. You know.
It gets talked about up there with Friday the thirteenth
for good reason. Halloween franchise not for a good reason.

(01:29:50):
But I don't like this artwork, Like it looks just
super lazy and just like, can't you do something kind
of interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
Historically, other than the theatrical posters, which are incredible, I've
got one of them up on my wall up in
the corner there. The Knightmarreen Elm Street artwork forever has
been real bad and I don't understand why. It is
literally the most iconic horror villain maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Of all time.

Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
I mean, he was a pop culture phenomenon for years
and we can't get anything better than this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
Drink some water from him.

Speaker 2 (01:30:28):
Yeah, this is even that. It's good.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
It's not great, Yeah, I know it's but yeah, the poster,
the original poster art for those movies is unreal.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
For all of them, they're all great.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
They should have just taken that same art style, yeah,
and applied it to this I mean, come on.

Speaker 4 (01:30:47):
Yeah, it is better than that AI art that other
YouTubers went nuts for a few weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
But that's not saying much.

Speaker 4 (01:30:56):
But this is what made people most excited is we
got the cover art from the German site play on Pictures.
They put this up on their website early, and essentially
it is a steel book library collection, so those ones
that we've gotten over the last few years, with like
the Rambo release, the Superman release, the Avengers, there's been

(01:31:16):
like twenty five of these that have gotten releases, and
the library is going to be like Freddie's Sweater with
the red and green and then all of the steel
books of the seven films have the original poster art
on there, which this is the perfect, perfect way to
handle this. I think people should be happy. I think
this is the best possible answer that we could have gotten.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
I've got nothing to complain about this other than it
really sucks to put this available for pre order and
have it sell out. Yeah, if something is available for
pre order, I would suggest using that as a gauge
on having to make rather than saying it's limited to
whatever and we're gonna just turn off the faucet.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
Yeah, I agree with that for sure, but that like,
this does look great, and I it makes me consider
getting it because what I have currently was their DVD
library of the movies.

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Yeah, and that one's decent, even though it's had like
the that's the one of the crappy snapper cases.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
The art on there, though, is its not bad. It's
probably the best that we've gotten on physical media. Yeah,
and I love everybody saying uh, let's see uh mozarts
go says I want actual fabric on the outside of
the steel locker. We're probably not going to get that.
Sibner has a theory that the red and green is
going to be like a c through pet slip cover

(01:32:38):
around it to protect it. You'll take the sweater off
to get into it, which I think.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
Nipples under there, like burnt burnt nipples.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
It'll be the dirty word art again.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
Yeah, that'd be great. But no hair because the fire
would have taken care of that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
Oh god, it'll be all flesh textured.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
So yeah, this is this is neat.

Speaker 4 (01:32:58):
At the moment when this was announced to I speculated
that this was gonna be the same art worldwide, And
now we know that this is the same art worldwide.
We'll talk more about that in a little while. But yeah,
this is rough because again you can't pre order it everywhere.
It's still available in the UK, still available in France.
In the US, I think you can pre order it
from Brother Belisle still. Now, this is the other hard

(01:33:19):
part is it's expensive. The UK version of this is
the only one that comes with Blu rays with the
four k's and because it's the UK release, it's two
hundred and fifty dollars. The US version of this on
Amazon here, which was an Amazon exclusive before it's sold
out already, is only one hundred and sixty seven dollars,
So it's it's a jump in price for sure. I've

(01:33:42):
just spoke to see these films in four K the
Blu rays looked Saying the Blu rays looked bad is
probably not being insulting enough.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
Oh, but it's someone's favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
It's not somebody's favorite restoration.

Speaker 4 (01:33:56):
I will say that it's somebody's favorite movie, and that's
why it deserves this respect, and I'm glad that getting it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
So we shall see.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
And Stan says, only to be quite honest, seven movies
from a studio in four K and steelbooks for one
hundred and sixty seven dollars in twenty twenty five. That's
that's a pretty decent deal. I mean we're talking to
like one Disney movie in a sealbook that's in four
K is costing like fifty right now. So to me, like,

(01:34:23):
I don't know if that makes me cynical or whatever,
I don't think that is a terrible price for on
release day seven steel books in a steel library. Yeah,
all right, speaking of steel books, it is the year
the Steal Book, like we said earlier, and September twenty third,
there's a Blu Ray Steal book coming for Chucky the

(01:34:43):
complete series.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Did you watch any of the show?

Speaker 3 (01:34:47):
Yeah, the first two seasons. I did. Actually it took
up a large part of my time when I was
quarantined with COVID, and yeah, I really enjoyed that, really
kept me going that in twitch.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Yeah, but it's I will say also, like franchise wise,
the Chucky franchise is one of the top franchises I
feel like quality wise, because it's been very quality all
the way throughout pretty much.

Speaker 4 (01:35:16):
On top of that, it is literally the same creator
the entire time, which kind of does a lot for
the quality.

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
Well, and same with Phantasm, well except for the very
last film, but he was kind of consulted on that one.
But yeah, like when you can keep people involved, I
think Tremors is the same way as well. That franchise,
same people involved.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
To a degree. I think at least one or two
are always.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
Like the writers. I think we're involved all the way through.
But that's underrated. That's a very underrated franchise, Tremors.

Speaker 4 (01:35:47):
It's one of my favorites, even the ones, the last
three that are just CGI, it's still so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Yeah, so much fun.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Did you see the TV show?

Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
I have seen one episode of it and I've never
got around the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
Need to. You can still buy the whole season on
DVD through Best Buys website.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
I did not know the best buy part. Interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:36:11):
Yeah, lots of comments on the Chucky thing, Ronnie saying
really enjoyed the Chucky series. Stinks that it got canceled.
It deserved a fourth season. Now, Mancini has said he's
not done. He does plan on continuing this, whether it
is another season or another film. He's saying, yes, this
ended on a cliffhanger, but it's not done yet, there
will be something to wrap it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
Up, so look forward to that. It's Mancini. He's probably
never gonna stop at this point.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Yeah, let's see. Chucky is so wild. It took huge
swings and I loved it. I gotta be honest, I've
still not seen any of the show I need to.
These are for anybody that bought the series or the
seasons as they came out. These a gonna be the
same discs. There's not anything new or exclusive. This is
mostly just getting people to buy the entire series, which

(01:36:57):
they will because it's a steal book. And as we
just stated, steel Book fans by everything. Oh gosh, Josh,
you were so right, Josh says, the amount of weirdo
right wing hate for the series is a bummer.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
I got one of the most hateful dms that I've
gotten ever for Disconnected this week. Literally somebody said the
words seeg Kile and sent me two pictures of eight balls, which,
if you are familiar with hateful rhetoric, you know what
that means. But Jesus Christ, it was unhinged for sure.

(01:37:36):
Next up another steel Book September twenty third, we are
getting from Warner Brothers. A four K steel book and
a standard, which I gotta be honest, I think the
steel book for this is quite clever and I liked
that they did it, but I probably can just do
it with the standard. But we're getting The Corpse Bride
from two thousand and five, really wonderful movie from Tim Burton,
which I love stuff like this. No new extras on here,

(01:37:57):
but great, great looking animation. I'm sure this is going
to beautiful in four K. And again I think it's
really cool how they did this. You take the little
slip cover off and it just leaves the Bride on
the cover.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:10):
Yeah, that looks phenomenal. We need more creative stuff like that, Like,
do more of that stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:38:17):
Cool, that's a good movie too.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
I'm fine with these. It's the super lazy steel books
that pissed me off. Is something like this. I'm all
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:25):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:38:27):
So after that, we got just for fun another new
four K steel book, a Beetlejuice. Beetle Juice from last
year coming on it yet again, the most popular date
of the fall, September twenty third. Nothing new on this.
I think they're just trying to capitalize on the Tim
Burton Love and the Jena Ortega Love with Wednesday coming back,
and this movie did well for them. And the first

(01:38:47):
steel Book wasn't that great looking, Not that this one
is beautiful or anything, but yeah, this is already the
second steel book for this film that came out last year.

Speaker 3 (01:38:59):
It was an ok movie, like, yeah, nothing great, it
was okay.

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
Yeah, aggressively fine like Fantastic four.

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a good way to put it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
Nice. Josh has a corpse right, theatrical poster in his classroom.
That's great. It's a good movie. Very good movie. Uh Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:39:16):
So there were some people speculating on this when we
got some answers on yet again, the most popular date
in the world, September twenty third, we are getting standard
four K releases of the entire Sean Connery run of
James Bond. This is one that just got one of
those steel book library collections that we were just talking about.
It also got a standard of the entire run all

(01:39:39):
at once. That wasn't a steel book. But now if
you only like one or two of these, which some
people do, now you can pick and choose which ones
you want, but they're all coming in four k all
on their own and uh, yeah, are you a Bond guy, Carly?

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Yes, Actually, my wife and I do James Bond January
every January, where we watch as many as movies through
the month as we can and then cut it off
at the end of the month. But it usually ends
up being like four or five. But I had gotten
the Blu rays set, and I mean, how much better

(01:40:13):
is it gonna look on four K honestly, you.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
Know, and probably a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Actually that artwork looks terrible though, like come on, I.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
Mean it's kind of pulpy. I don't hate these. I
think that they probably could have done at least some
splash of actual art with the text. But other than that,
I don't hate these.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
I will say the Pierce brosen As much as I
like Pierce Brosnan, the Pierce brosenan James Bonds not fun.

Speaker 4 (01:40:40):
Yeah yeah, Gary says, I love that artwork.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
People said it was lazy, but they don't get graphic design.

Speaker 4 (01:40:45):
I don't think it's bad. I would I don't know.
I just like a little splash of art with it.
At least it does feel sort of like the novels
that these are based off of.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
The old infleming pulp books.

Speaker 4 (01:40:57):
So next up, let's go to a four K release
over in the UK from Studio Canal of Diva. This
is also getting a Blu Ray release both of these
on October six. This is from nineteen eighty one. This
is supposedly a super stylish film that I have never seen.

(01:41:17):
This is a brand new four K restoration produced from
the thirty five millimeter negative and the sound negatives as well,
scanned in four K by Transperfect Media. The image was
then digitally graded and cleaned to remove imperfections from the
original elements. This project was carried out by the Studio
Canal team Sophie Boyer and Jean Pierre Boynette restoration and
digitization with the support of the CNC. I only wanted

(01:41:40):
to say that because I have to say I love
when companies are transparent like this about the restorations. We
have so many places that are just four K scan
of the best surviving elements. Okay, of what I mean,
was that plucked from somebody's attic and it was a
twelfth generation inner negative or something like, Let's talk about

(01:42:03):
what it is and find out. Let's be completely honest
and transparent if we can This has some extras on it.
We got Blue as Diva, Memories of a cult film
Diva about the film by Dennis parent And this is
a French film with English subtitles, and I feel like
I need to see this.

Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
Everybody seems to love it, interestingly.

Speaker 4 (01:42:24):
Also from Studio Canal on four K in the UK
on October sixth is Baby Blood from nineteen ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
This is one that was released previously by Keno here
in the States.

Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
This has a new featurette on here called The Concepts
behind French Horror baby Blood, and that is by Kim Newman,
and it's Kim Newman's birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Happy Birthday, Kim Newman.

Speaker 4 (01:42:43):
All of the extras that were on the Keuno release
are ported over, and that includes all kinds of stuff
that we're I believe not on the Keuno release as well,
including the Lee Gambon and Jerrick Kahan commentary Glad that
is on there. Again, Lee Gamma deserves to be remembered
on every release.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
I'm gonna attempt to make a Will Dodson joke on
that one, do it. You know, babies shouldn't really be
joining gangs.

Speaker 4 (01:43:15):
That is the most Will Doddson joke by somebody not
named Will Dodson that I've ever heard maybe, and I
love it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
I will.

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
If you are listening later, please let me know, because yeah,
that is going to be dots and approved. Also over
in the UK on August eighteenth, which is right around
the corner, Cult Films is releasing one Deadly Summer from
nineteen eighty three. This is an Isabella Johnny film that
supposedly great, another one that I've not seen. There are

(01:43:44):
some decent archival extras on here, new two K source
elements restored for the sixteen to nine version, and some
new and improved English subtitles. But love Isabella Johnny. She's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
Yeah, I'll I would see anything she's in. Just based
off of Possession.

Speaker 4 (01:44:02):
And Adam says, this is a very steamy movie, just
warning you, just warning that means I have to buy it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Oh well, I'm watching adult titles now because of Ryan
and Celeste.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
So so proud by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
Probably.

Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
And yeah, Ronnie, I completely agree. The title on the
spine facing the wrong way on these films drives me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:26):
It's yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:44:30):
Next up, the first of two times that we were
talking about this tonight, August twenty fifth, Fabulous Films on
the UK is releasing Night Gallery, the Complete Series. This
is going to be essentially the Kenolber releases for another territory.
Have you ever seen any the Night Gallery episodes?

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
I haven't, but I'm down to try.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
It's a very good series.

Speaker 4 (01:44:51):
The hard part is you're inevitably going to compare it
to Twilight Zone and it's no Twilight Zone. It was
never going to be, but it's very good. There are
some very special standout episodes. Cool next one of my
most exciting releases for this week, October seventh, we are
getting a Blu ray and DVD release from Warner Brothers

(01:45:14):
of Peanuts, the seventy fifth Anniversary Ultimate TV Specials Collection,
covering from nineteen sixty five to twenty eleven. This is
going to have five decades of the beloved Peanuts TV specials.
There's going to be forty of the forty five total specials.
They will never likely be able to get all of them. Unfortunately,

(01:45:35):
they did one on the Super Bowl and the NFL
is never going to allow that to be licensed because
they're assholes. But I have to have this, I mean,
just like my Muppets tattoo, I have a Peanuts tattoo. Oh,
this is a must for me. Are you a Peanuts fan?

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
I watch them as a kid. It didn't really like
resonate with me so much that I like care to
watch it nowadays. But I hope that tattoo you have
is kind of like over your belly button, like the
thug life type tattoo.

Speaker 4 (01:46:05):
Now I'm regretting that it's not said, yeah, it's on
my leg, but it is very sentimental. My wife calls
me Snoopy and I call her woodstock.

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
Oh, that's cute.

Speaker 4 (01:46:15):
Next up from Viz Media here in the US, we
are getting Castlevania the Complete series. This is the Netflix
anime show, which is somebody that has not watched a
lot of anime. I watched most of the first season
of this, and I gotta say, the animation in this
is fucking incredible. Not necessarily my style of storytelling, but

(01:46:35):
I could see myself like Stockholm syndrom ing into loving this.
It sounds like a really cool release too. It's got
a seventy two page booklet, it has window clings, it
has tarot cards, it has a wigia board, it has
art gallery storyboards, trailers on the discs, some voice actor interviews,
production animatics. This is a really fun style release for

(01:46:58):
something like this. Yeah, looks great. I will say it's
a little expensive for what it is. It's like one
hundred and sixty five dollars on Amazon right now. I
see that going down a little bit, but it probably
ends up around one forty ish, which is better but
still still a little high. Although it's a Netflix streaming
show coming to physical media, and that's pretty great.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
I mean, you're either getting this or you're getting The
Nightmare in Elm Street Box.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
That strame amount, so that is true. It is wild
how much they are throwing into this that I would
not expect that. But I did watch some of the
Castlevania show and I thought it was pretty good. I
just kind of got distracted and didn't go back.

Speaker 4 (01:47:40):
Yeah, I always meant to finish that first season, and
now I gotta be honest, I probably won't ever. We
got some release details on twenty eight years later. This
is all coming on the most famous release date of
the fall, September twenty third, four K steelbook and standard.
We've got a Blu ray and DVD release, all coming

(01:48:00):
from Sony as far as the extras, it will have
Dolby Atmos. There are some featurettes, including one called Daisty Years,
one called Capturing the Chaos, the survivors becoming the infected
behind the cameras, stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
Did you see twenty eight years Later this year?

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
I didn't, but I'm going to attempt another Will Dodson
joke on this one. The follow up is going to
be called twenty eight inches Later.

Speaker 4 (01:48:24):
Yes, the movie famous for zombie dong, which is a
weird sentence. I never saw myself saying here we are. Yeah,
good movie. I liked it quite a bit. You talked
about liking British TV shows earlier. This is a very
British movie, and if you're not prepared for that, it
might be slightly off putting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
So keep that in mind.

Speaker 4 (01:48:46):
Oh man, this is a release that made a lot
of people go wild. This week November fifth, Umbrella is
releasing Freaked from nineteen ninety three the Alex Winter Joint, and.

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
They went.

Speaker 4 (01:49:00):
Saying they went all in on This is kind of
underselling it. Even Freaked is incredible. Have you seen Freaked before?

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:49:07):
I actually own the DVD release of it that has
like the c through slip cover, although my old my
cat who passed away last year, puked on it and
so it like smells bad because you can't really clean
that up so much, so I probably need to upgrade it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
I'm I'm glad that you kept it though.

Speaker 3 (01:49:31):
Well yeah, I mean, it's the Disparting Memories. It's it's
a good it's a good film. It is. It's a
lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
Yeah, this is wild and for a number of number
of reasons. One that we probably should say, Umbrella has
rights for this in Australia, in the US and the UK.

Speaker 2 (01:49:54):
Now they've not said, they've.

Speaker 4 (01:49:57):
Not said if they're gonna be doing different releases, so
I'm not saying necessarily you have to buy this version
because the odds are that this is going to get
released from draft House here in the States the UK.
Not sure it could be anybody. Hell, they could have
licensed it to a arrow or something, but we'll find
out in due time. But they went all in and

(01:50:19):
all of the discs that come out in the future
are likely going to be the same for this because
they do own worldwide rights. They don't want to compete
with themselves of course, so they are the first ones
putting it out. There is probably going to be a
while before we hear about another release. That way, they
can sell as many as they can. This release is crazy, though,

(01:50:42):
forty eight page book, behind the scenes materials, archival interviews,
new essays. We've got a bumper one hundred plus page
book with behind the scenes, new interviews, sorry, new essays
by Justin Beiem, Whitney, Seibold, Mike Saunders, and fan art.
There's a script book, an original comic book, custom art stickers,

(01:51:02):
a pamphlet, custom artwork, rigid slipcase and then another slipcase,
and eight art cards, a reversible poster. And of course
it's limited and numbered. This is wild to have all
of that in one release. This, this brick of a release,

(01:51:22):
is probably going to be the biggest Umbrella release yet.
I'm speculating offhand. This also has a ton of new extras,
new interviews, new everything. There's a new work print alternate
cut on this. There is Alex Winter all over this. Yeah,
this is a lot, a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:51:42):
Yeah. It's great to see this getting such a good
release because it I know, it's a movie that a
lot of people have been talking about within the horror community,
specifically because it is underappreciated for the most part, and
it's the practical effects are just so much fun. It's
so over the top in zany to be seen.

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Josh says.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
Draft House sent out promotional emails today advertising this Australian import,
which is interesting. So maybe it won't get a US
release from draft House or anybody. Maybe it is this
one that is very bizarre. That also could have just
been an Umbrella contract thing where they said, hey, you
can release this later, but you need to advertise ours.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
First or something. Who knows.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
Jay Weber saying, release from draft House on Burned on demand.
These are not going to be mod discs. These are
all going to be pressed ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
They are.

Speaker 4 (01:52:35):
They are making many of these, I promise. Yeah, Gary,
Like I said, Umbrella owns the US release rights, but
they can license those out to anybody because they own it,
and can they can license that to anybody because they
have the rights.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
Yeah, this is this is crazy. Anybody that has not
seen this movie, what would you compare it to?

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Carln I I don't know, because it's kind of its
own thing in a way, like it's kind of it
kind of reminds me a little bit of like a
pee Wee's playhouse type vibe to it, Yeah, but a
little more adult with Randy Quaid.

Speaker 2 (01:53:17):
Way to put a button on that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
The closest thing that I would say is it's probably
closest to the early Peter Jackson stuff, but even that
is still very different. Gary is saying, should we wait?
The question is do you love this movie? If you
love this movie, this is likely going to be the
best release of this. If you have never seen this

(01:53:40):
movie and you just want like the cheapest release of this,
I would probably wait and just speculate. This will be
in print from Umbrella for years, even if they don't
release anything. So just just give it some time. If
you're new to it, just let it mellow, calm down.
It'll go on sale. Hell right now, Umbrella is doing
a buy one, get one free sale. This will like

(01:54:00):
beat a buy one, get one free sale, just not
the huge version, just the standard in a year or something.

Speaker 2 (01:54:05):
So you know.

Speaker 3 (01:54:06):
Actually, actually the tone of the film kind of reminds
me a little bit of the Aussie film Body.

Speaker 4 (01:54:12):
Melt Ooh that is a good call. I love I
love Body.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Melt Yeah, fun, real, ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:54:22):
Yeah, and uh yeah, just like Jay Weber's about to
say in the chat, he says speaking of the early
Peter Jackson stuff. For those that didn't hear, he surprise
debuted a four K restoration of Dead Alive in the
last week. I did not post anything about that yet
because there's no real tangible facts about it yet, but
he even recorded an intro and talked about how he

(01:54:43):
is like thrilled that the restoration has done for his stuff.
So fingers crossed, we are likely going to be hearing
four K announcements for Meet the Feebles, Dead Alive and
everything here soon.

Speaker 2 (01:54:56):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
One of the big ones that people have been asking
about recently is the Frighteners that got a German four
K release from Turbine about four years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:55:05):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
From what I've heard in the past, and this is
an open secret, I'm not like revealing anything. Ero put
some of their postcards in some of their titles years
ago that they were releasing the Frighteners. They still are.
From what I hear, the stipulation was that Turbine had
a five year exclusive window on their release, and we're

(01:55:25):
coming up on five years, so the arrow release of
that should be coming in the next eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:55:31):
Months or so, I would buy that love.

Speaker 4 (01:55:36):
I just hope it as the documentary within, because the
documentary on that movie is great. Yeah, Heavenly Creatures needs
a new release. Completely agree, Ronnie.

Speaker 3 (01:55:46):
It's a lot of crying.

Speaker 4 (01:55:48):
Stan says, once you've seen Freaked, you will love it
and wish that you had purchased this edition.

Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
Yep, So maybe maybe just trust it.

Speaker 3 (01:55:53):
Yeah, just go with it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:57):
Yeah, move into our next Umbrella title. This is the
one that was shocking to me. We didn't know this
was coming. November fifth, We're getting a blu ray in
Australia from Umbrella of Cecil Be Demented.

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Are you a John Waters guy?

Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
So I haven't seen a ton of John Waters stuff,
but I live near Baltimore and I am naturally a
John Waters fan for that reason, and I've met the guy,
super super nice. Got him to sign my as he
put it, non neutered version of a Dirty Shame, which
was great. I do love that movie. But yeah, no,
I haven't seen Cecil Be Demented, but I had it

(01:56:30):
highly recommended to me recently.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
Actually, it's very good.

Speaker 4 (01:56:37):
It's also very relevant to twenty twenty five and if
you are into stuff that feels tongue in cheek, perfect
to watch right now. This is one of those really
great titles. Cecil is a lot of fun. Watched this
with my Patreon in the discord here a couple months ago,
and yeah, it's a really great group watching movie. Pretty

(01:56:57):
much everything John Waters is, so check it out if
you've not seen it. This is the first proper Blu
Ray release of this film, which is wild. That being said,
I gotta admit Umbrella putting this out in Australia makes
me feel like this is probably likely to get a
US release here soon. Now, who would it be from
The odds are probably Criterion. I mean, they've done most

(01:57:18):
of the Waters catalog. It would be probably in their
best interest to do it here in the States as well.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
But it's a fun movie.

Speaker 4 (01:57:26):
It's also very different from Waters from the rest of
the stuff. If you've seen some of his other stuff
and not the later stuff. There are a lot of
people that feel like there is a very clear line
of classic Waters and then not great Waters after that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
I don't really agree with.

Speaker 4 (01:57:43):
That, but this does fall into the later stuff obviously,
with them being released in two thousand. This does have
a forty eight page booklet with it, this custom artwork
case and all that stuff like they always do, and
then new stuff. This has the John Waters commentary that
was done previously. There's a new interview with John Waters.
There's even a new interview here with Melanie Griffith, which

(01:58:04):
for Umbrella to get that is really really surprising. So
that's showing that they are going all in on something
like this. I have a feeling that this is going
to be a pretty incredible disc if you love John Waters.
Criterion is never going to do anything to this extent.
This feels like.

Speaker 2 (01:58:21):
A must if you're a Waters fan boy.

Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
I didn't even realize there's a new interview with mink
Stole on here, so check that out.

Speaker 2 (01:58:29):
This is a great release.

Speaker 3 (01:58:30):
Cool.

Speaker 4 (01:58:33):
Next up is The Fire Within from nineteen sixty three.

Speaker 2 (01:58:36):
Not what I've seen.

Speaker 4 (01:58:38):
This is a film that's going to have a forty
eight page booklet as well, new artwork as usual, they've
got the art cards, a reversible poster, new audio commentary
with Adrian Martin, who is a very scholarly commentator on
the releases that he does. This is directed by Louis
mal We got Louis mall speaks on his movie here,

(01:58:58):
and there is a piece by Cat Ellinger as well.
If this is a big release, I would say, if
this is a big release for you, again, this is
probably the best it's going to get for quite some time.
We don't know anything about any US releases coming, but
this is good look and release. So have you seen
anything from Louis mal.

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
I have not. I will say like this. When I'm
first seeing this artwork, I'm like, this isn't my bag
as far as nightwork goes. But as you were like
going through the photos, I was like, it's kind of alluring.

Speaker 4 (01:59:28):
Though to degree, Yeah, I've not loved everything Louis mall
that I've seen, but when he hits for me, he
hits hard, and yeah, I'd say the same thing. I've
not seen this one, but it definitely feels intriguing. Oh,
Aaron says he loves this movie. There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:59:49):
Let's go to our next one, which is the last
of the Umbrella titles, and that is All of Me
from nineteen eighty four. Also coming up Blu Ray November fifth.
If you recognize this title, that's because this just a
Vestron release, which is still very odd to me here
in the US. From Lionsgate Limited. This is the Steve
Martin film with Lily Tomlin. This has a forty eight

(02:00:10):
page book with essays by Cynthia Wayang, Nadine Whitney, and
David Michael Brown. A new audio commentary with the wives Colangelo,
We've got the actor Victoria Tennant does a new interview
on this, and then David Michael Brown speaks on Steve
Martin and Carl Reiner's funny friendship. I don't think I've
ever seen this one, and I definitely want to see it.
The art on this is an odd style, but I

(02:00:31):
do like it more than the Vestron release. But yeah,
any thoughts on Steve Martin or all of me? Have
you seen this one?

Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
I haven't seen this one, but I do typically like
Steve Martin stuff. Yeah, so I would be interested to
see it. I don't think I'm gonna buy it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:50):
Adam says it's top tier Martin. That's interesting to hear.

Speaker 4 (02:00:54):
Yeah, I've never seen it either, Noodles, I'm very curious.

Speaker 2 (02:00:59):
Yeah, this looks fun at least. Okay, this is the.

Speaker 4 (02:01:03):
Second time we're talking about Night Gallery Imprint has done
this quite a few times. If somebody announces something and
they have it coming, they kind of rush out and say, hey, hey, hey,
don't forget about us. We're also releasing this, and they
are putting out Night Gallery, the complete series sometime soon
as well. This is gonna be packed with special features
housed in a limited edition packaging, kind of like.

Speaker 2 (02:01:23):
They always do.

Speaker 4 (02:01:24):
There will be a hardcover booklet and it will have
all kinds of new stuff on it guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (02:01:30):
No clue when this is coming out.

Speaker 4 (02:01:31):
They've kind of like pre announced a lot of these,
like they're doing Jade. They did the same with the Keep.
They've got a lot of really cool stuff. In fact,
tonight they're also announcing their next title, which is a
four K sci fi film from the eighties, and pretty
much everybody speculating that they're gonna have a really fancy
edition of the thing to make us all jealous of.

(02:01:52):
So yeah, this one is interesting. So for Imprint, they
had announced a huge bundle of Hitchcock things just last month,
and for a while two of their Hitchcock releases were
you can still see them on the site, but you
could not order them. And now we finally have an update.

(02:02:13):
People were starting to get emails saying thank you for
your pre order of the bundle. Unfortunately, they've been delayed
to October twenty ninth, which is the first Red Flag,
and they also said now these are only going to
be limited to a thousand copies and there will be
no standard edition.

Speaker 2 (02:02:30):
On top of.

Speaker 4 (02:02:31):
That, there was news of them removing a couple of
special features that were previously announced, So some details on this.
They said, We've had many questions on the state of
these upcoming sets, and after some unexpected production delays, we
are thrilled to now move ahead with these with some changes.
Both will be strictly limited to one thousand, Every single

(02:02:51):
copy will be individually numbered, and there will be no
standard edition for these collections at all. It's now on
October twenty ninth. To compensate for the delays and the
documentary becoming Hitchcock, the legacy of Blackmail.

Speaker 2 (02:03:04):
Has been removed entirely.

Speaker 4 (02:03:06):
And then there's an audio commentary that was also removed
now to me because of the way they pulled it down.

Speaker 2 (02:03:12):
It seems to me.

Speaker 4 (02:03:15):
Josh's pointing out that literally just a minute ago, Imprint
announced Life Force. Oh yeah, not the thing. So there's
a big fancy release of Life Force out there.

Speaker 3 (02:03:24):
Well that sounds good.

Speaker 4 (02:03:27):
So yeah, they pulled a commentary and a documentary. To me,
the screams like a licensing problem. That's why it was
halted for a moment. And something happened behind the scenes.
Somebody found out they were releasing this and said, who wha, woa,
you can't do that, And now they've been forced to
change their release, which which sucks, especially for the documentary.

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
I did want a disc of that one.

Speaker 3 (02:03:48):
Wow. Yeah, this really sucks for people who didn't necessarily
get in on the pre order but found out about
it later and we're like, oh, I'd like to pick
that up. Well guess what.

Speaker 4 (02:04:00):
Yeah, you can still order this from a couple places,
but it is selling quickly. People are buying us simply
from the idea of fomo, and don't fall prey to
that if you are not like incredibly interested in these
That being said, there are a couple titles on here
that have not been on Blu Ray before, and that

(02:04:21):
it's hitchcock. So for a lot of people that is
enticing enough. Yeah, Orbit had them earlier in the US,
and as far as I'm aware, Imprint still had some
copies just a couple hours ago, so if you're looking
for them, these will be pricey. Three months after release,
these are probably gonna go for big, big money. Next up,

(02:04:45):
terror Vision posted a bunch of updates and kind of
really excited about some of these. So the Big One
is suddenly in the Dark, The Devil's Sword and Children
of Violent Rome are all shipping now. Things have been
fixed from their manufacturer, who had a major problem behind
the scenes. There was a lot of shit that was
causing some of the biggest anxiety I've ever seen Brad
and Ryan go through, and I'm glad they are past

(02:05:07):
it and we can finally look forward to the rest
of the year following those. Because of the manufacturing for
those being delayed, Invader Sledgehammer and Arbor Day, we're all
kind of pushed back ever so slightly to get those
fixed first, and so those are coming, but it will
be in the next handful of weeks. The Gatorbait collection
has been slightly delayed because we found yet some more

(02:05:28):
reels for Gator Bait two and we're still hoping to
get a perfect candidate to put the entire Gatorbait two
and four K from the elements.

Speaker 2 (02:05:38):
If that doesn't work, out.

Speaker 4 (02:05:39):
We're still gonna put it out on four K, except
for one of the reels, we'll have to go down
to SD unfortunately, but it'll still look great for the
rest of the disc and it looks very very good,
So just wait for that to come out. And now
the big thing is their video Club subscription, which, if
you're not aware, Terror Vision sort of like Vinegar Syndrome.
They do this whole subscription model thing where you can

(02:06:01):
get a certain number of titles and then not have
to worry about them. You get everything they put out,
whether it's four K, Blu Ray, Deluxe package whatever. They
are keeping those however, because manufacturing costs have gone up.
They've been doing the same prices for years, and they've
raised the prices ever so slightly. And they've also changed
the tiers that you can get. So they used to
have ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty title tiers. That's

(02:06:25):
a lot to choose from, and for a lot of people,
if you're getting ten titles and they announced ten titles
in the next two months, it can feel very like, Oh,
I was a subscriber and now I get nothing. I'm
already out. Why did I subscribe? So they raise that
a little bit, and so now you can get fifteen titles,
thirty titles, or fifty titles, and the prices are still

(02:06:46):
very very reasonable in my opinion at least. So for
fifteen titles it's three seventy three, for thirty titles it's
six sixty six, of course they had to, and then
for fifty titles it's one thousand forty, which is still
like a crazy good price, especially because you still get
free shipping here in the US. You also still get
access to the clubhouse where you get warehouse wholesale pricing

(02:07:08):
on everything that they do. And the big thing is
if you're already a subscriber up until the date of
when they are making this change, which is I think
it's August ninth. Let me verify before I say that out. Yeah,
August ninth, that is the date of the price changes.

(02:07:29):
So up until then, all of those old options are
still available. And this is so cool. They're telling you, now,
if you like those old prices and don't want to
pay more later, you can go subscribe now and keep
that price as long as you have an active subscription.
So you could just keep subscribing at that same price
as it keeps going on. Now, of course something could

(02:07:51):
change years in the future or whatever, but that is
really cool that they're giving you like a ten day
warning to go subscribe at the old price.

Speaker 3 (02:07:59):
Now, yeah, I mean that doesn't surprise me with the
way they've been doing things. And I am a subscriber,
although I'm not the best subscriber because I keep emailing
and saying I don't want this one, I don't want
this one. Keep that kind of deferring. But I actually
have gotten to a point where I'm like, you know what,
I'm just gonna let it ride from now on. Just
whatever shows up, it shows up.

Speaker 4 (02:08:21):
I will say the end of this update, they tease
something and it says most important of all Terror Visions
thirteen weeks of Halloween starts August eighth. I will say,
the rest of this year and the following handful of
months for TerrorVision are going to surprise the hell out
of some people.

Speaker 3 (02:08:39):
All Right, well, maybe I need to increase my subscription.

Speaker 4 (02:08:43):
There are titles coming that people are going to be shocked.
TerrorVision were able to get and the extras that we
are putting on there are incredible. You are very much
going to be hearing a lot more from TerrorVision in
the coming months.

Speaker 3 (02:08:56):
I'm very excited about that.

Speaker 4 (02:08:59):
Just wait, August eighth is gonna be the kickoff, and
there's man thirteen weeks in a row and doing it
right this time. I know that they tried this before
and it floundered, but it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
Next up.

Speaker 4 (02:09:14):
Just earlier today, Flicker Alley announced September ninth they're releasing
a blu ray of their Flicker Fusion series Getting He
Who Gets Slapped from nineteen twenty four, starring Lon Cheney.
This is center stage as He, a tortured clown who
signature ACKed, is receiving an endless series of slaps to
the face, essentially as part of therapy for him. In

(02:09:36):
a way, this looks like a really loaded release. I'm
so stoked that they're giving us much love and attention
to this. It's got a commentary, it's got animated shorts
that have been restored from the Max Fleischer Library. It's
got an original featurette from twenty twenty five that explores
the early days of the MGM's beloved Leo the Lion,
which as an animal lover. That's awesome to me that

(02:09:59):
they're putting that on there. It's got a booklet insert.
I love flicker Ally's releases. This looks great that artwork.

Speaker 3 (02:10:08):
It kind of makes me think that that's what the
sequel two hundreds of Beavers should look like, just like
it would be like hundreds of clowns. Next.

Speaker 4 (02:10:17):
Yes, yeah, that would be terrifying for a lot of people.
Dustin is asking our ERVision planning another YouTube video for
the thirteen weeks weeks of Halloween. I will say the
answer is no, They're not planning another YouTube video for
thirteen weeks of Halloween. We're gonna have a lot of
fun with it.

Speaker 2 (02:10:36):
Just you wait.

Speaker 4 (02:10:40):
Next, Sony is releasing a four K steal book as
usual of the Quicken the Dead from nineteen ninety five,
coming on October seventh. This looks to me, I believe
the exact same four K release that was released previously.
I don't think that first one had Dolby Vision on.
This one did. And that's what Sony does. They re
released things and slap Dolby Vision on it, put it
in a steel book, and say, hey, give us forty bucks.

(02:11:02):
This is a great movie. But I don't think I
need another four K release of this one.

Speaker 3 (02:11:08):
Yeah, I don't know in this, but maybe I should.

Speaker 2 (02:11:11):
I Have you seen this one?

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
Yeah, I've seen it. There's this thing with me where
I have this kind of I'm drawn to movies that
have like a tournament aspect to them, like kind of
like Mortal Kombat, Quick in the Dead, like that type
of thing. It's like, now this person versus this person. Yeah,
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (02:11:31):
It's a good movie. In fact, it is a great movie.
It's got kind of a mind blowing cast. For anybody
that's never seen it, it is certainly one to look into.
It's nineteen ninety five, so some of these people are young.
But it is great, really really great. Next, another update
from air forty four to forty four, who have said
that their latest limited editions of P mack Alone and

(02:11:52):
Mermaid Legend will finally be shipping starting the week of
August fourteenth.

Speaker 2 (02:11:56):
This has been one.

Speaker 4 (02:11:58):
Of the longest running sagas of twenty twenty five. This
in the Brevidio Giallo box set from Cauldron, which is
also shipping as of right now.

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
This is going to.

Speaker 4 (02:12:08):
Include standard editions which were also ordered from them. I
don't know what happened behind the scenes, but they have
had a hard year with manufacturing. It has been so
bad that on this graphic they even say at the
bottom please contact us if you have address updates.

Speaker 2 (02:12:22):
That's how long it's been.

Speaker 4 (02:12:23):
They expect that people have moved since they ordered stuff, So.

Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
This is crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:12:29):
If you need to update your address, contact them and
they will help you out. I do not envy the
emails that they have probably been receiving for the last
seven months.

Speaker 3 (02:12:38):
No, sounds like a nightmare.

Speaker 4 (02:12:42):
Next up another weird update, Keino announced that they're packaging
for the Airport four K box sets will have to
be changed. So they say the key art for the
slipcase and digipack of the Airport box sets will be revised.
We will share the new art with everybody soon. The
street date for this may also have to be changed

(02:13:03):
due to this unforeseen delay. Now a lot of people
are asking why. The honest answer here, you'll never know why.
This screams something legal that they had to change or update,
and we will never have that answer unless somebody from
Keno like leaks it on a stream in four years
or something. This feels like what they had to do

(02:13:24):
with the extras on that Columbo box set. But to me,
like the art here is good. It's not bad art necessarily.
It's probably where there's something in like the original contract
that somebody had to have top billing on anything to
do with this film or something like that, and so
what we'll find out soon about that. But yeah, if

(02:13:45):
you were waiting for this, just be advised you may
be experiencing a delay. The original release date was September thirtieth,
so that's it's not so close that they couldn't meet manufacturing,
but depending on when that can get approved that yeah,
they might have to push it back further. Okay, so
today the art for the Nightmare and Elm Street four

(02:14:07):
K steelbook that we already talked about has officially been
revealed for the US, and yes, they are the all
the original theatrical posters. And the big thing is that
we can zoom in on here and find out some
things like Bilby Atmos is probably present on every single
one of the titles except for the two that are uncut.

(02:14:28):
They don't have Delbi atmos on those two versions. They
will include three D glasses in the release, and then
I don't know if this is to be believed, but
if you zoom in here, there's a certificate of authenticity
and it shows that it's out of four thousand. Now,
the rumor was previously that the US was going to
have ten thousand copies, but this could be indicating why

(02:14:53):
it has sold out so quickly, because four thousand for
Nightmare and Elm Street is a really small number for
the US.

Speaker 3 (02:14:59):
Yeah, very popular franchise, So why so few?

Speaker 2 (02:15:05):
It's a good question.

Speaker 4 (02:15:06):
Although manufacturing for this is definitely gonna cost them a fortune,
although they would make it all back immediately, so I'm
not sure this is a big one if you were
after this. Like I said earlier, it is sold out
in the US. It's an Amazon exclusive. However, the US
release or the UK release is still available from a
few sites. Just get it quick. The standard release is available.

(02:15:26):
Make a choice if you want.

Speaker 2 (02:15:27):
It or not. That's it.

Speaker 4 (02:15:31):
That's all we wrote on the announcements. Let's go into
what is coming out next week For those that forgot,
it's not a huge week, but a couple of big
titles at least Master and Commander in four K. Have
you ever seen that movie? No, I'm stoked on that one.
That thing is gonna look beautiful in four K. It's
it's a fun movie. It's the type of movie that
we don't really get because it's quite practical, and yeah,

(02:15:54):
it's gonna look gorgeous in four K. Sunset Boulevard four
K from Paramount, next week, Better Off Dead four K
from Paramount, Friendship from A twenty four. Loved that movie
this year year for that Blu Ray, some criteria stuff.
We got Fires on the Plane four K, the Burmese
Burmese Harp four K, the title that pissed off a
bunch of people Late Night with the Devil, got a
four K Steel book coming next week. Shaw Brothers Classics

(02:16:17):
Volume seven from Shout Factory Volume seven coming next week,
Convoy four K from Keno, and then those titles shipping
from Tervision, like we stated, Universal Theory from Oscilloscope, the
capture from Filmmasters, and that's that's pretty much it. Nothing crazy,
anything that you've got on the way or excited about.

Speaker 3 (02:16:36):
In that list, No, not from that one.

Speaker 4 (02:16:42):
It's kind of a slow week, which yeah, odd for
what we're seeing over the next couple months, but that's
probably why is everything's gearing up for big September and
October announced.

Speaker 3 (02:16:51):
But yeah, and I mean Vinegar Syndrome has new stuff
dropping tomorrow, so I'm gonna be shelling out some ducats
for that.

Speaker 4 (02:16:59):
It's a busy day, that's for sure. I mean I'm
gonna be posting announcements for like two and.

Speaker 3 (02:17:02):
A half hours tomorrow probably.

Speaker 2 (02:17:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:17:06):
Friendship for me, Josh, for sure, that's a big one.
So now we were talking about Shutter you mentioned earlier
You've been covering their stuff for quite some time. There
is a weird spectrum of Shutter titles that have ran
the gamut of quality.

Speaker 2 (02:17:26):
What are some some.

Speaker 4 (02:17:27):
Ones that have not made your list tonight that you
would still recommend that people check out, or maybe that
aren't like underrated but are still very very good movies.

Speaker 3 (02:17:35):
Okay, so these would should I just go? Are you
talking about my honorable men?

Speaker 2 (02:17:40):
Yeah, let's do honorable mentions.

Speaker 3 (02:17:41):
I'm just I don't know how in depth you would
like me to go on them.

Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
But as in depth as you want, okay, so just.

Speaker 3 (02:17:48):
A little bit. And I ranked them basically. So I'm
doing five of my honorable mentions that I do think
are quite underrated as far as exclusive and originals for
shuttergo the bottom one I would recommend, but still a
really good time available on Shutter right now. Vicious Fun

(02:18:08):
smaller budget film. The acting is not like the best,
but the premise is basically this kid who gets into
this weird situation where he kind of accidentally stumbles upon
a serial killers support group and then he kind of
gets found out, but then he gets his ass saved

(02:18:29):
by a woman who is going after said serial killers.
And it is as the title says, it's fun. It's
vicious fun. It has some vicious moments to it, but
it's also really fun. It is funny. It has some
good comedic moments to it. Plus it has a really
underrated actor, Julian Richings, who's an older fellow, but he

(02:18:52):
kind of came on the scene for a lot of
people with anything for Jackson, which was another Shutter I
think original actually and did a really good job in that.
But he's particularly fun in it. But it's just it's
a really fun film. Have you seen Vicious Fun?

Speaker 4 (02:19:07):
I think so this is I made a weird list
that Shutters got some of those titles that I have.
I know that I've seen them and I can't remember
anything about them.

Speaker 3 (02:19:19):
Yeah, yep, yep, Yep, there are one of those. Yeah,
there's some for me like that for sure.

Speaker 4 (02:19:25):
It's tough because they like, over the years, they've cranked out.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
A lot, yes, a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:19:33):
Yeah I think this Does this one have a blu
ray from Shutter?

Speaker 3 (02:19:37):
I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (02:19:39):
Okay, Yeah, and they a lot of those earlier ones
they did get a lot of blue rays, but unfortunately
some weird ones that were actually like pretty decent never
got some some discs.

Speaker 2 (02:19:51):
So yeah, I probably need to rewatch this one, worth
it all right? Next one from you?

Speaker 3 (02:19:56):
All right? My number four is after Midnight eight, So
this one is actually not on Shutter anymore, but it's
free on to be, Pluto, TV and Hulu, so you
can check it out in all those areas. It was
done by Jeremy Gardner, who also did The Battery if
anyone's seen that. Really low budget film also has Bria

(02:20:19):
Grant in it, who does a great job, really good
acting for how low budget it is. But it's a
really well done story about a guy who's basically dealing
with a creature outside of his house that comes around
after midnight. But it's kind of it's more than that.
It's more of like an emotional thing about like where
he is in his life and kind of like some

(02:20:40):
loss in his life. And yeah, it's really well put
together and it's one that a lot of people should see.
So After Midnight.

Speaker 4 (02:20:49):
This is one, and don't feel bad or anything. This
was on my list of five. I think this is
highly highly underrated.

Speaker 2 (02:20:58):
He is.

Speaker 4 (02:20:59):
He's one of those filmmakers that you can tell most
likely does his best work under very specific limitations with
this in the Battery. Yes, it is quite obvious that
he didn't have even like a moderate budget. They are
both quite small, but he pulls things off with these
that other filmmakers would dream to do. He definitely has

(02:21:22):
skills that people do not display on other films. I
probably prefer The Battery at least a little bit. But
After Midnight is very very good as well. Yes, this
is definitely one that if you've not seen it, highly
recommend checking this out. And this one I believe did
get a Blu Ray release at least one. I don't
remember if he got something else overseas, but I think

(02:21:45):
it got.

Speaker 2 (02:21:48):
Is it shout Factory that did it?

Speaker 3 (02:21:52):
Yeah? That rings a bell? You might be right on
that or.

Speaker 4 (02:21:56):
No, it's a good Deed did this one. There is
a another title called After Midnight from years ago that
Shout Factory did.

Speaker 2 (02:22:03):
Oh Aero UK did it?

Speaker 4 (02:22:04):
That must be what I'm thinking, Thanks Josh. All right,
so that's one from my list. What else you got?

Speaker 3 (02:22:12):
I can knock some more off? Number three for me
of the honorable mentions, And this one did get a
physical release summer of eighty four. Yeah, this one is
available on Prime, Apple TV and YouTube currently, so you
can check it out there. It's got like this kind
of like summer vibe to it, like kind of like

(02:22:32):
it or like the Goonies something like that with young
kids and they're basically in this neighborhood and they think
that one of the neighbors in the neighborhood is potentially
a serial killer. So it's about them kind of trying
to like convince the other adults there. That's what's going on.
But there's a lot of like cool like high jinks
with the kids going on and like camaraderie and you know,

(02:22:54):
it's it's a really fun film. And there's there's one
part towards the end of the film that will it's
it's very intense, very intense and you might not see
it coming. Highly recommend Summer of eighty four.

Speaker 4 (02:23:08):
It's kind of jarring at the end of this because
it is the rest of the movie doesn't really fit
that vibe. But they sort of like they made a
I think they sort of just made like a very
particular choice to say, we're swinging for the fences at
the end of this, so.

Speaker 2 (02:23:22):
That when people walk away, they're going whoa.

Speaker 4 (02:23:25):
And it works, I think because if you if you
left it like feeling like the Goonies of the Burbs.
I feel like this could have felt a little samy
to some other films, sort of like a Disturbia with
Shila buff ever so slightly in some of the scenes.
But the end of this is very good and it
goes from like a pre teen level of movie to

(02:23:46):
very much like a oh yeah, like this this movie
was made for me type of ending.

Speaker 2 (02:23:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:23:52):
And this this one came out kind of many years
ago on Shutter and a lot of people just hand it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:59):
And got a four K from Gunpowder and Sky, which
looks incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:24:04):
It's good stuff, all right. I guess I'll go to
my number two. This one is free on two B.
At the moment, I do recommend a palate cleanser after
you watch it. It is incident in a ghost land
not seeing this one. So this one's done by Pascal Lagier,
who also did Martyrs, so you might know what it's

(02:24:26):
gonna feel like a little bit not good. It is
a very good film, though, but it's a home invasion.
It's basically like these girls who grew up and their
mom was trying to fight off these home invaders and
ended up getting killed, and then they come back together
many years later, and some weird things end up happening.
But there's a point in this film where things really

(02:24:51):
flip on you, and it's a lot. I got done
with that movie and I was just like, I cannot
go to bed right now. Guy needs something else to
make me feel better about the world. But it's a
very good film.

Speaker 4 (02:25:08):
Some iconic imagery from this movie has got a very
memorable poster with the face on it, one that has
been on my watch list for far too long.

Speaker 2 (02:25:17):
I need to see this one.

Speaker 3 (02:25:17):
Yeah, definitely, well free on twob crisis runny enough.

Speaker 4 (02:25:22):
I think I have a media book of this and
I've just not been able to put it in yet.

Speaker 2 (02:25:26):
But I need to know there you go.

Speaker 3 (02:25:28):
And then my number one honorable mention is Coco d
Coco Da. This is a Scandinavian film. It's free on
Fandango at home right now and free on tub so
you can check it out both places. So this one
is it's basically about a couple who lose their child
in very heartbreaking fashion and they go away for a

(02:25:50):
camping trip and they are beset upon by some menacing
characters who do terrible things to them. But then it
keeps repeating. That whole scenario keeps repeating, and it feels
weird and you're kind of like, I don't know what
they're trying to do here, but just stick with it.
By the end of the film, there's a very interesting

(02:26:11):
animation that kind of sums up what they're trying to
go for here, and it ends up becoming a very
profound film, a very emotional film, and I was left
feeling very vulnerable after I watched it, and it is phenomenal.
Definitely check it out.

Speaker 2 (02:26:28):
This is quite good and it was Blu ray released.
Was it the Canalog? Do you remember? Offhand?

Speaker 3 (02:26:34):
That sounds right? But I said that before when I
was wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:26:39):
So I think it was the Canalog.

Speaker 4 (02:26:41):
It might be somebody else, but I will say the
Canalog has done a number of films like this.

Speaker 2 (02:26:47):
I'm gonna say it like nineteen times. Let me make
sure I'm saying the right thing. Coco D I think
it was.

Speaker 4 (02:26:54):
Oh damn it is dark Star. Oh okay, so dark Star. No,
I will say, check out to Cantalog. They've done some
stuff that feels like this film actually, but dark Star
did a really good job on this release. This is
one that sort of came out of nowhere from that label.
Dark Star has done like a lot of very low

(02:27:15):
budget sort of I don't want to trash the label
like I love I love the owner. I've talked to
him a handful of times, but.

Speaker 2 (02:27:24):
Most of the movies have not been for me.

Speaker 4 (02:27:26):
And this is one of like the seven or eight
from them that I've really liked. And it was quite
quite different from their usual fear. If you have not
seen it, I think it's definitely worth watching it is
you'll remember it, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:27:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:27:43):
Yeah, gosh, shutters, that's such an extensive library.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
Some of these I don't even remember being shuttered. Yeah,
that's the crazy thing.

Speaker 4 (02:27:53):
Yeah, all right, so you covered one of mine. I'm
gonna throw out another one since you've been heavy detailing yours,
so that we can get a break for a moment.
But I feel like most people know this filmmaker. In fact,
you've already said his name tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:28:07):
Once.

Speaker 4 (02:28:09):
Everybody knows When Evil Lurks, but so many people slept
on Damian Rugnan's first film, Terrified, the when we when
we finally decided on this topic, Terrified was the first
thing that I knew I wanted to talk about because
I I was ringing the bill for this movie from
day one. I think I saw this the day it
was put on shutter and ever since then, like this,

(02:28:31):
to me, this is at least as good as When
Evil Lurks. Maybe it's it's a very different movie. It's
it's definitely more contained, not leaning on a lot of
like the it's not even action, but like the moving
mysticism in the second half of When Evil Lurks, but
Terrified is creepy as shit.

Speaker 2 (02:28:52):
There are two specifically that really gets you.

Speaker 4 (02:28:56):
The one that everybody talks about is the dinner table scene,
and it's I'm a gonna say that because you have
to watch it, and it's such a wonderfully, wonderfully built
up to device that he so earns the shock that
you get there. And what's crazy, it's not like, you know,
we just talked about Martyrs first plit. Second, it's nothing
like Marders, there's nothing like Gore shock.

Speaker 2 (02:29:17):
It's just the.

Speaker 4 (02:29:19):
Actual tension and anxiety that he's built within you that
dinner day will see will make you like your heart
flutters if you're invested in this film.

Speaker 2 (02:29:28):
The other thing I really love about this movie is in.

Speaker 4 (02:29:30):
The second half of the film, it starts to get
this awkward, surreal vibe going on that doesn't happen in
a lot of films, especially in the US. And because
it's this Argentinian, really great sort of like very unique
take on this mythological sort of MYSTICI I don't know

(02:29:52):
the best way to say that, but it's.

Speaker 2 (02:29:53):
Like a very spiritual movie at the end of it.

Speaker 4 (02:29:56):
I think that they they approach this movie with with
the way that gives it just this great dignity and
a very unique feeling. It does not feel like an
American film in any sense of that.

Speaker 3 (02:30:08):
I've actually not seen it. Yeah, being the person who
does all the shutter stuff, so it was on Shutter
before I started getting screeners and doing reviews.

Speaker 2 (02:30:17):
Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (02:30:18):
So there were a few movies that, like, I never
found myself going back to take care of them. I
did want to, but I just got wrapped up with
other stuff. But it's been on my list. I have
seen the clip of the dinner table scene you were
talking about, though, and it was masterfully done, and even
outside of the context of the whole film, it had

(02:30:38):
a lot of impact for when I saw it.

Speaker 4 (02:30:40):
So yeah, one more scene that I really wanted to
shout out is there's this one thing where this couple
is looking across the street through the curtains of their window,
and it's one of those things like we see in
a lot of American horror movies where they do like
the mirror trick where they show you a mirror and
some like empty scene and so you're blatantly thinking, oh,
when they close the mir or something's going to be there,

(02:31:01):
and it's not. But they do like the violin strike
to scare you, which is so dumb. This way that
they keep approaching the window is such a I don't know,
it's just this this unique way to like cause dread
in a viewer that is truly invested in the film,
and it shows just getting getting immersed in this movie,

(02:31:22):
in these movies will cause you so much more joy,
like dropping your phone, seeing these in a theater when possible,
doing something to be able to make these just your
sole focus.

Speaker 2 (02:31:33):
It makes these movies so much better.

Speaker 3 (02:31:35):
Agreed, definitely, all right, what do we got from you?

Speaker 2 (02:31:39):
Number five?

Speaker 3 (02:31:41):
Okay, so let's you don't want to do more honorable mentions.

Speaker 2 (02:31:44):
I'll bring up a couple at the end. I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:31:47):
I don't want to cross everything on your list. So
just in case you're going to.

Speaker 3 (02:31:50):
Say, okay, so getting to my actual top five list
of the most underrated, My number five is The Headhunter. Now,
this one is extremely low budget. It's basically about a
it's like medieval setting, but it's kind of like fantastical
where it's this guy who literally is a headhunter who

(02:32:11):
kind of goes out for his kingdom that he's a
servant of killing creatures, killing like these mythological creatures. There's
no dialogue whatsoever. The sound design is great because obviously
it sticks out with no dialogue. It shot really well.
It's very like kind of bleak looking. There is an
interesting like undercurrent of a story there, and it's amazing

(02:32:36):
what was able to be pulled off with like no budget.
I actually had the honor of hosting a watch party
and the filmmakers Kevin Stewart and Jordan Downey actually attended
and talked about the film with us, which was super cool.
Which by the way, they did, ThanksKilling for if people
wanted a reference for other stuff, they did. But also

(02:32:59):
a segment and Downy did a segment in the most
recent VHS that Shutter put out as well. That was
the best one of that group, honestly. But yeah, Headhunters
so good, so good, so unbelievably underrated anyone I talked to,
no one's even heard of it. If you got to
check it out, it's free on Fandango at home right now.

Speaker 2 (02:33:23):
I've never used Fandago at home to stream. That sounds fantastic.
I didn't know they had so much available that is
like that they did.

Speaker 4 (02:33:34):
This did get a Blu ray release over in the
UK from One on one Films did do you know
did it get one in the States.

Speaker 3 (02:33:41):
I think it did. I remember seeing a physical release
of it at some point somewhere.

Speaker 4 (02:33:48):
It looks like you got a German release maybe and
the UK release and that is it. But the UK
release is really good. I wanted to look this up
because I remember this being short, but I how short.
It's seventy three minutes. This movie is really good. This
was on my Honorable Mentions list, so it's kind of

(02:34:09):
perfect because this is another one of those movies that
you can just tell looking at this they didn't have
to have a budget for this.

Speaker 2 (02:34:16):
They they do so much.

Speaker 4 (02:34:18):
With so little for this, and there's so little dialogue
and it's literally just this incredible world that they create
visually that you immediately get lost in and I feel
like hardly anybody has seen it.

Speaker 2 (02:34:32):
Noodles.

Speaker 4 (02:34:32):
The title is The Headhunter and this is from Oh gosh,
I forgot what this was like twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (02:34:38):
Twenty nineteen. Yeah, sounds about right.

Speaker 2 (02:34:42):
Very very good.

Speaker 4 (02:34:43):
And the One on one Film's release I believe is
still in print and it's a solid disc. I know
One on one Films has kind of hit or miss,
but it's one that I had to get from them.
I've got it right up there. It's it's genuinely a
great movie and for sure worth watching. And the hard
part is again it's short and it's not a lot
of dialogue, So it's another one that you kind of
got to force yourself to put the phone down and

(02:35:03):
really immerse yourself in because without the dialogue, it's easy.

Speaker 2 (02:35:06):
To get lost. But it's rewarding, it's you'll you'll appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (02:35:10):
And that ending. Yeah, I did not see the ending
coming and it was. It's it's a good ending, so satisfying.

Speaker 4 (02:35:17):
My next one, I was going to ask you, hoping
that you are the expert on this one. Uh, the
movie is The Furies? Is this a shut Is this
a Shutter original.

Speaker 3 (02:35:28):
Or I think it is. I think it was an
original that was towards the beginning of when I started
covering these things.

Speaker 4 (02:35:37):
So this is not appearing on lists when I find
like the list of Shutter originals, But the blubray release
says a Shutter exclusive, so it's got to be one
of the ones that they distribute something. No, it definitely is,
because I remember getting a screener for it and reviewing it. Uh, yeah,
The Furies is one. This was on my list because

(02:35:58):
we're talking primarily about under rated. This is this is
not going to be like the best film on my
list tonight because there's a lot of problems with this movie, however,
very underrated because the story here is compelling, the writing
is pretty good, the acting leaves a little bit to
be desired, and unfortunately, because of the budget for this film,
some of the effects are going to take you out

(02:36:19):
of it in a couple of the scenes.

Speaker 2 (02:36:20):
That being said, this is a damn fun movie.

Speaker 4 (02:36:23):
This is about a woman that gets kidnapped and she
wakes up in this I don't even know what to
call it, like this area.

Speaker 3 (02:36:32):
And like desert, like a desert but with trees.

Speaker 4 (02:36:36):
Yeah, I don't know how to describe this. It is
essentially a game where she is being hunted by these
mass dudes and then finds out that she's not alone.
There are other people being hunted as well. There are
some gnarly deaths. There are some really intense scenes of
like cat and mouse type of running. It's it's a

(02:36:58):
very good movie and I feel like it came out
it got a lot of talk for like a week,
and then everybody forgot it existed. The Furies is quite good,
deserves a watch. It is a lot of fun and
I know that things like batle Real and the Hunger
Games and all these other things that are sort of
similar but not not at all like the Furies at
the end of the day sort of you know, cast

(02:37:21):
a large shadow over this movie. This is very unique
and because of the budget, it's gonna get forgotten, which
really sucks because it deserves to be seen.

Speaker 3 (02:37:30):
Yeah. I agree, it's pretty solid. I again, not like
a great, great film, but it's definitely one of those
films that you should give it a shot just because
of effort that went into it. And like you said,
there are some pretty gnarly kills in it. It's kind
of one of those ones. Maybe put it on watch
with like a buddy or like have it on when

(02:37:50):
you're doing something else in the background, you know, one
of those.

Speaker 2 (02:37:54):
Yeah, it's a good time. Next up for you.

Speaker 3 (02:37:59):
Okay, So my number four is still available on shutter
right now. I don't think anywhere else. This is gwar.
It is a documentary. Scott. Shout out to Scott Barber,
the guy who made this documentary, because when I put
my review up, he actually commented on it and thanked
me for the review, which was very nice of him.

(02:38:20):
He definitely did not have to do that. Phenomenal documentary.
And I'm not even like a big Guar fan or anything,
but if you have like a modicum of interest in
the band gwar, like just want to know what they're about,
You've got to watch this documentary. It is so engaging,
It is so interesting. The story of Guar and who

(02:38:41):
they are and where they come from and how they're
still existing is just very, very engaging, and it's told
in a masterful way through the documentary. So cannot recommend
it enough.

Speaker 4 (02:38:57):
This is the great version of a music documentary where
you could literally know nothing about the group that they
are covering and still walk away from the documentary going
that was a very compelling watch and honestly may not
even be driven to check out the music, but still
feel fulfilled. It is truly an enjoyable, enjoyable conversation the

(02:39:18):
entire time. The work put into this, you can tell
is pretty exhaustive. From what I remember, I think there's
a couple fairly big Gar stories that people were kind
of upset that weren't covered in the docum very much.
But other than that, I mean, I wouldn't know that
those were missing because I'm not a huge Gar fan,
but I understand if you're super into Gar and walk

(02:39:39):
away feeling like some things are missing. That being said,
great stories. What this really made me want is some
of the old GUAR movies put on physical media that
will never come out.

Speaker 2 (02:39:51):
Probably.

Speaker 4 (02:39:52):
I think this is a blast, And yeah, definitely made
me fall more in adoration and with some of the
people that have been associated with Guar over the years,
for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:40:03):
And I mean if your only.

Speaker 4 (02:40:06):
Influence from Gwar has been like the Joe Lynch and
Adam Green side of things, because Gwar has been attached
to them obviously for years, then you'll probably even still
really appreciate this because they definitely focus on that side of.

Speaker 2 (02:40:18):
Things for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:40:19):
And for me watching it plot twist weird. Al Yankovic
is interviewed in it, I was just like, what I love,
We're it out?

Speaker 2 (02:40:30):
I do as well.

Speaker 4 (02:40:31):
So I'm in just a few years ago here in
Kansas City. So incredible show, So good you went.

Speaker 2 (02:40:37):
With the documentary.

Speaker 4 (02:40:38):
So I'm gonna move one of mine up so that
we can talk about docs for a minute. And this
is one that people are probably gonna scoff at this
being called underrated, but I think this is one of
the best things that Shutters has Shutters Shutter has ever
made in house, and I think it's one of the
more almost like required viewings from Shutter, and people still

(02:40:58):
don't treat it as such, and so I really wanted
to give a minute to horror noir. This is a
documentary on the history excuse me, the history of black horror.
And we get so many people that have been immersed
in the scene for decades. I mean, you get stories
from the set of classic films, You get stories of

(02:41:20):
how people were treated behind the scenes, you get stories
about how audiences were impacted by some of these films,
finally getting representation, and they it's not just surface level
stuff with black horror. I mean, it could have been
forty five minutes about Get Out and forty five minutes
of Circle jerking around night at a Living Dead, and
it's not that.

Speaker 2 (02:41:41):
They truly like.

Speaker 4 (02:41:42):
You get a lot of love for Ganja and Hess,
you get a lot of love for even like things
that most of us know are incredible and like canon
titles that you have to watch, like Tales from the Crypt,
which obviously is a super influential title, but you get
stuff behind the scenes of those things that we've never
heard from you get people that made those films, that

(02:42:04):
were in those films, that were influenced by those films
to make their own films. And I think it's one
of the more compelling watches of the documentaries that Shutters made.
And they've made quite a few in house, and some
fall a little flat. Some are a little on the
I don't know, like hysterical side where they're trying to

(02:42:25):
conjure more of a story than is actually a story
behind some of the docks. But this is this is
one of those ones where I can almost see like
a really great sequel happening to this and just going
through like the real deep indie horse side of black horror.

Speaker 2 (02:42:40):
And it's great. Everybody should watch. This is incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:42:44):
Yeah, And I will say that there are a lot
of portions where they're talking to Tanana Reeve Do and
I could listen to her talk about horror all day, Yeah,
all day.

Speaker 2 (02:42:58):
Yeah. I mean, Ernest Dickerson is great in this.

Speaker 3 (02:43:01):
Oh yeah, yes, it is.

Speaker 4 (02:43:03):
There's so many faces in this that immediately I'm like, God,
I just want to take you for a coffee and
then not like leave for four hours and make you
tell me stories.

Speaker 3 (02:43:12):
Agreed.

Speaker 4 (02:43:13):
All right, Uh, since uh I listed one of mine earlier,
why don't you do two in.

Speaker 2 (02:43:17):
A row now?

Speaker 3 (02:43:18):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (02:43:19):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:43:20):
My number three? Also still available on Shutter is an
Indonesian film in Pedigore Nice Joko, an war film. So
if anyone seems like Satan's Slaves or Satan Slaves Communion,
or there were some other ones that I'm probably missing
at the moment, im Pedigore is really good. So the
way it starts out, it's a woman who's just working

(02:43:43):
her job and some guy comes to try and kill her,
who she doesn't even know who he is. Then there's
something discovered on her person that creates a little bit
of mystery. So she basically goes to a town to
try and find out who she actually is. You know,
who am I really type thing? And the town is
kind of weird and it's very remote and things don't

(02:44:07):
feel right, and you think you might know where this
film is going, but you don't know where this film
is going. And I was it's one of those films
where at the end of it, when I first watched it,
my jaw was on the floor. During one particular scene
where it reveals some stuff, you definitely don't think is

(02:44:29):
going to be revealed that kind of changes everything. And
it's a shocking film. It's extremely well shot, it's extremely
well acted. I don't know like anyone who's seen it
pretty much except for people I told to watch it
or made watch it, So you gotta check out. In Pedigor, Oh,

(02:44:49):
Queen of Black Magic is another film that Joko on
Where was involved with. He didn't direct that one, but
phenomenal filmmaker, like he is like a very uh well
thought of filmmaker in Indonesia, and you can see why
with these films.

Speaker 2 (02:45:05):
So yeah, this is great. I will happily.

Speaker 4 (02:45:09):
Uh one of my long list of honorable mentions with
Satan Slaves Joco is. I mean, he's one of those
tour directors where you can tell he's very much got
a style and uh, you can't really go wrong watching
one of his films. So yeah, yeah, and Pedigor is great.
Also had a disc release.

Speaker 2 (02:45:27):
I believe.

Speaker 3 (02:45:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:45:30):
I don't feel like I have that.

Speaker 3 (02:45:32):
It's possible.

Speaker 2 (02:45:34):
It's bad that I can't remember.

Speaker 4 (02:45:35):
Yeah, in Pedagor, Yeah, it's got that's right, because it's
got the the eyeball cover, yes, the dripping eyes whatever,
It's on sale on Amazon right now for twelve bucks.
So if you are curious about this, that's a great
look at disc for twelve bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:45:51):
Or if you have Shutter, it's still there.

Speaker 2 (02:45:53):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (02:45:54):
Oh Josh met Joco met him in an elevator in
Korea before a screening of Sitting.

Speaker 3 (02:46:00):
Oh my gosh. I hope he was. I hope he
was as nice as I want him to be because
his filmmaking is unbelievable, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (02:46:09):
All right, sir, you're number two, all.

Speaker 3 (02:46:11):
Right, my number two. I believe this is a finish film.
It is Dogs Don't Wear Pants And this one is
still on shutter. Oh is this on your list too?

Speaker 4 (02:46:22):
On honorable mention I've talked about before, so I didn't
want to go too in depth about it.

Speaker 2 (02:46:27):
But incredible. This is such an underrated movie.

Speaker 3 (02:46:31):
Yeah, so this one, this one really gave me a
lot of feels. To be honest, It made me feel
good in the end of the film. It made me
feel vulnerable, emotional, bad at times. But it's basically about
a guy who loses his wife in a drowning accident
in the beginning, and it's about the fallout after that.

(02:46:54):
Of him not feeling like he even knows who he
is anymore, like what his life should be. And he
has a daughter, so you know that relationship isn't working
out too well at that point. But then he meets
a dominatrix, and through the relationship he forges with this
dominatrix in a very dominatrix way, he finds himself basically

(02:47:16):
and finds what he needs in life, and it becomes
kind of touching in a really messed up way. But
there is a scene in this film in particular that
speaks to if you let certain scenes just breathe just
go on a little bit longer, it'll hit a different way.
And it's a scene it's very early on. It's after he,

(02:47:38):
you know, some time after he had lost his wife.
He's in the bedroom, laying on the bed and he's
masturbating with his wife's underwear on his face. And at
first it just looks so goofy and funny, and it's like, oh, dude,
there's this dude whacking off with underwear on his face.
But then they stick with it and then he starts

(02:48:00):
breaking down and crying and then you're like, oh my gosh, no,
this is so sad, like he misses her. He's trying
to like still have some like bit of her around,
like and he just can't. Like it's just it's too much,
I mean powerful filmmaking, honestly.

Speaker 2 (02:48:21):
So I love this movie.

Speaker 4 (02:48:24):
This was on my honorable mention list, like I said,
But the big thing I think that's a problem here
is that the dominatrix aspect of the story is like
the main thing that the marketing for this film has
always focused on. And we are in a very weird
time in the last five seven years where we are

(02:48:45):
seeing especially younger filmmakers get more and more prudish, which
I don't understand in a way, but also really sucks
because stuff like this that you know, like sexploitation films
used to exist because you could sell out theaters by
simply saying this is a sex film. And funny enough,
like a third of the time there wasn't sex and

(02:49:06):
the sex film, which they weren't sex films, but this
movie is. It's kind of the opposite side of that, Like, yeah,
there is this seedy nature to some of the things
that we're talking about, but it's also just like real
life aspect of people being into these things, and I
think there's a lot of people that have been turned

(02:49:26):
off simply by the poster or the crew or the synopsis,
and when you know, I don't want to watch that,
and if they did, they would probably love this fucking
movie because it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:49:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:49:39):
I can't remember if I first saw that that was
not a word, ORST saw this on shutter or I
think the way I first originally found it was it
was actually released on Blu Ray in the UK first
by Anti Worlds, which is essentially a sister company of Indicator,
and they do mostly modern films, and they released this
and I was the opp away because at heart of

(02:50:01):
a freak, I guess I just showed Nakatsu titles and stuff.
I saw this one, Oh, I have to watch this
like any company willing to put out a new film
that this is the marketing is one that I want
to support, and then fell in love with the emotional
aspect of this film. It is such a I don't know,
it's a weird reverse take on like the history of sexploitation,

(02:50:25):
where it sure it's one of the main reasons that
I was interested in supporting it, but then it was
the opposite that won me over. It was everything about
this that was just so tender that I appreciated, And
as somebody that is very happily married to a woman
that I've loved for most of my life, I you know,
could not possibly express how much this movie hurts to

(02:50:49):
like the you know, relevant in your life and put
yourself in somebody else's shoes and find that empathy machine
that that Ebert so famously referenced. This movie's a masterpiece
and doesn't get talked about enough.

Speaker 3 (02:51:01):
Yeah and yeah to kind of what you were saying. Like,
for me, the biggest strength of this film is turning
out to be something I didn't expect it to be.

Speaker 4 (02:51:12):
Yeah, Josh says, I had to buy the US DVD
of Dogs Don't Wear Pants because I had a quote
from my review on the cover that isn't on any
other edition.

Speaker 2 (02:51:20):
Nice, I mean, yeah, you should have that, Josh. Good job.

Speaker 4 (02:51:23):
That's not vain, that's just pride. So my number two
this is noodles. I've wanted to do this for so long,
but it takes so much to prepare to be able
to show a poster of each of the movies. My
number two is a weird one because just like the Furies.
This is not one that I even now think about

(02:51:46):
as loving. But I think this movie took such a
unique swing that I don't even remember people talking about
this movie when I first got released, and I hope
you liked it. Twenty nineteen saw.

Speaker 2 (02:51:58):
The release of The Beach House.

Speaker 4 (02:52:02):
This movie is so interesting because it's not I don't know,
there's nothing like majorly compelling about the story. The acting
is not like the best you've ever seen, the script
is not astounding, but there is specifically this chunk of
the film that is so surreal and unique in the
way that they show it visually that I knew I

(02:52:24):
had to put this on the list as well. It's
one of those that I will attest that when I
first started this film, I was not fully engaged in it,
and when this scene happened, it was one of those
put everything down and sit forward and just let it
wash over you moments that I will probably never forget
that about this movie, which is saying a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:52:43):
You know.

Speaker 4 (02:52:43):
I mentioned a few minutes ago that Shutter has done
so many films that I just watch and then forget immediately.

Speaker 2 (02:52:49):
This was not one of those movies.

Speaker 4 (02:52:50):
And again I don't even love it, but it will
stick with me for so long because that one specific
chunk of the film I don't know that I've seen
much like it, Like it felt like it got very
like color out of Space for ample minus with this film.
And I love that side of the Lovecraft world that
not a lot of people can grasp visually, and the

(02:53:11):
filmmaker's behind this truly did a wonderful job with it.

Speaker 3 (02:53:15):
Yeah, I kind of pin this as like low budget
love Craft, and the scene with the foot in particular
like really kind of hit people for anyone who watched it.
And it's really funny because leading up to this, when
I was working on my list, I was talking to
my best friend and he was like, I told him
what the topic was, and he goes like, are you

(02:53:35):
gonna put on the Beach House? And I was just
like no, because I didn't love it that much. But yes,
it is underrated and pretty solid.

Speaker 4 (02:53:45):
Yeah, and even if you're only seeing it to appreciate
that it's not a scene, I guess it's like I
don't even remember how long it was because I was
lost in it. But yeah, the movie's not amazing and
you're not gonna after it, sit down and go, dang,
this is a four an AFTAR film or anything, but
you're going to really appreciate the filmmaking style there, all right,

(02:54:07):
most underrated film on your list, sir.

Speaker 3 (02:54:09):
Okay, it's another documentary. It is free right now on
TV and Pluto TV, so you can check it out there.
And it is Scream Queen My Nightmare on Elm Street.

Speaker 2 (02:54:20):
Such a good doc very.

Speaker 3 (02:54:22):
Important viewing in my opinion. It's it's the documentary about
Nightmare on Elm Street Too that everyone hated because it
was too gay, But it was about about Mark Patten,
who starred in it, and how it kind of really
ruined his life, but then how he grew to reclaim
his life and confronting people involved in you know, making

(02:54:47):
the film what it was without telling people what it
was supposed to be and putting him in a really
awkward and tough, like life threatening situation. Really, it's very emotional.
I cried watching this documentary like a few times. But
it's very well put together. It's a very emotional and

(02:55:08):
educational viewing, and it changes the context of what the
film itself is. Night Mare and Elm Street too. Another
thing I need to throw in here tied to this,
and I didn't choose it as my number one because
of this. But Mark Patton is currently going through a
lot of health issues and there is a go fund

(02:55:28):
me that is up that I think his sister put
up for him that if you feel like you have
some extra change to throw that way, you can just
google Mark Patten go fundme. It'll come up pretty quickly.
So yeah, but definitely watch the documentary. Definitely.

Speaker 4 (02:55:48):
So yes, this documentary is a masterpiece and incredibly important.
One of the things that I really wanted to point
out here, which not a lot of people are probably
gonna love to hear. Actually, if you've been immersed in
like the horror scene for years, I think this is
required viewing for anybody that loves horror and goes to

(02:56:10):
like conventions and stuff, because it sort of it sort
of reveals that underneath a very on the surface accepting
pool of people that's all about the like, we're all
different and unique and we just want the weirdos to
come in and love it. Horror historically, at its core,
has been controlled by a lot of people that are homophobic,

(02:56:32):
that are racists, that are very sexist, and this documentary
has perfectly shown how that mindset can literally ruin somebody's
life in a movie that should have been beloved. And
I've loved Nightmare Elm Street two the entire time. I
think it's got some of the more out there visuals

(02:56:53):
from this franchise.

Speaker 2 (02:56:54):
For sure.

Speaker 4 (02:56:55):
I think this is other than the incredible Never Sleep Again.
This is the only other part that should be required
viewing with somebody that is like discovering a Nightmare on
Elm Street before. But the worst part about this is
the hypocrisy behind the scene that this really shines a
light on, because people just being flippant about certain things

(02:57:22):
have literally ruined a man's career that he had a
lot of potential in so many different fields, and he
wouldn't be in this dire situation possibly that he is
in now if he had lived a completely different life
following this film, and that is depressing and really telling

(02:57:43):
about why the country is in this political situation that
we've been in over the last few years. Because most
of these niche within a niche groups that we find
ourselves in. Many of us love a certain genre and
we find friends or physical media and we get into
these sure on the surface, they're really great. But then

(02:58:04):
a lot of these small groups have really terrible people
at the heart of it. And that's why things like
the Me Too movement are so fucking important because it
totally puts the spotlight on the terrible behavior to root
it out so that we don't have to have that
ruining things from the inside out, which is where things
like a Nightmare on Elm Street two have been just

(02:58:26):
completely tarnished by a reputation that never should have existed.

Speaker 3 (02:58:31):
Yeah, agreed. And if people want to see a later
acting role of Mark Patten that was only a few
years ago, the film Swallowed. It's not a great it
might still be on shutter. Actually it's not a great film,
but Mark Patten's role in it, Yeah, in so enjoyable.

(02:58:51):
What Mark Patten does. Mark Patten is the reason to
watch that film straight up, because just you could tell
he was having a great time with that role and
it's yeah, it's great.

Speaker 4 (02:59:02):
So this feels a little underwhelming following all of that.
But my most underrated film. I feel like the people
that are super deep into horror know all about this,
but the people that are like, I'm going to see
what it's recommended to me on Netflix today and call
of today, because that's the best thing I'll see. That
crowd is not watching this and that sucks. And this

(02:59:25):
is an obvious choice. Most of you have probably seen it,
but I just really want to keep a ton of
praise on what is sadly completely underrated twenty twenty two's
original Speak No Evil.

Speaker 2 (02:59:38):
God.

Speaker 4 (02:59:40):
This is a movie that got a US remake last
year starring James McVoy that I'm gonna be honest, it
surprised me that I liked it as much.

Speaker 2 (02:59:47):
As I did.

Speaker 3 (02:59:47):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (02:59:49):
McAvoy is incredible in it. The ending has no teeth,
but we knew it wasn't going to. The sad reality
is it didn't need to exist. This film is astonishing
in what it pulls off, again with a film that
pretty much needed no budget. They just needed a couple

(03:00:10):
fun locations and a really great script. This is a
film that is a fairly unique story about a family
going on vacation. They make friends with another family and
they get invited to this random place in the middle
of nowhere, and because they are now placed in a
vulnerable situation, they get screwed in a lot of different ways.

(03:00:30):
Because they keep trying to please the people they're with.
And there's a couple situations in this movie that are
so relatable that it hurts when it comes to somebody
that is a natural people pleaser. One of them in
this film in particular, that I don't believe was in
the remake because I don't remember it being there is
the adults go on a dinner date with the hosts

(03:00:51):
and there's a portion where they are turning the radio
up too loud, and the couple that is staying with
this couple just sort of deals with it, even though
they're very uncomfortable by that. That alone shows the host
family you can do whatever the fuck you want because
they're not gonna be able to say no to them.
This has one of the just most I don't really

(03:01:13):
want to say out of nowhere, because the film itself
overall is pretty intentional with the way that they display
certain things, but the ending is still shocking and take
things up a notch that is again completely unexpected for
what is essentially politeness a tragedy the movie, and uh yeah,

(03:01:35):
I still like I will never forget the first time
I watched that movie and the ending just let me
slack job and completely like, holy fuck, if this was
a film from the US, they never would have been
able to do this. And then that got proven right
like the remake, if you wanted to remake this, you
had to have an identical ending to make it just

(03:01:58):
as shocking, and instead they did the cliche like there's
a couple fires around the area and we're rescuing somebody
from a poll a bullshit that shouldn't have existed, and
all of the bite of the first film, pun intended,
is lost, and goddamn, the end of that first movie
will leave you just completely, I don't know, you feel

(03:02:21):
so depressed after you get done with this movie in
a very good way, that yeah, this is completely underrated,
and people that have never seen this because it's a
foreign film, or never seen this because there's.

Speaker 2 (03:02:32):
A US remake, I can just watch that one.

Speaker 4 (03:02:34):
Yeah, will only depress me, probably even more than the
ending of the original, which is shocking, because it's really depressing.

Speaker 3 (03:02:41):
Yeah. So I did quite like this film the original,
and I also did like, to a certain degree, the remake.
I actually saw the remake at a drive in theater.
It was the second feature after the original PHANFASM Yes.

Speaker 2 (03:02:56):
And so fun night.

Speaker 3 (03:02:58):
Yeah, that was a good night. So my wife, who's
not in horror but was with me, she stayed up
through Phantasm and she's like, I'm going to go to
sleep for Speak No Evil. But she started watching it
and she couldn't go to sleep because it was so riveting,
and she was like, oh, so she I had told
her ahead of time that like, this is a remake.
I saw the remake. It was on shutter and I said,

(03:03:20):
going into Hi'm like, I guarantee the ending is not
going to be the same because they would never, ever,
ever ever do this ending in the United States.

Speaker 4 (03:03:31):
Especially James macavoy. If it was like a no name actor,
there might have been a small chance.

Speaker 3 (03:03:35):
Yeah. So throughout the movie, she kept asking me, was
that in the in the original? Was that in the original?
And then at the end after it was done, and
she was like, oh that was good. We're driving away
and I was telling her, Okay, well this is what
the actual ending was, and she was like, oh, I'm
glad it wasn't that, and I was just like, I
was like, it's so bleak. Yeah. But like, like I

(03:03:57):
explained to her, what I like in films is when
the film makes me feel things I don't want to feel, Yes,
because that it's uncomfortable and it challenges you, and it
shows you that the filmmaker knows how to manipulate your emotions,
which is what filmmaking should be.

Speaker 4 (03:04:12):
Yeah, I agree, it sounds weird to call this one underrated,
but I feel like it's still somehow just underseen. And
I guess maybe that's a weird distinguishing word to make here,
because it's for most people that have seen it, it
is pretty highly lauded, but the vast majority of people
just have never given it an opportunity for a multitude

(03:04:35):
of reasons. The reality is Dutch films like this rarely
get proper distribution, and we're lucky that this was on Shutter.
This still does not have an English friendly High Death release.

Speaker 2 (03:04:46):
I think it has an.

Speaker 4 (03:04:46):
English friendly DVD overseas if I remember right. But like,
this is a movie that deserves to be seen in
HD and properly, you know, subtitled with like a couple
extras to give it some context and explain the tension
behind this movie and the unnecessary just feelings that when

(03:05:07):
you watch this movie you feel disgusting in a couple
of scenes and wonder why that you are the way
that you are. Yeah, Yeah, any other shutter titles you
want to throw out?

Speaker 3 (03:05:19):
No, but I thought you had maybe a few more on.

Speaker 4 (03:05:22):
I do have a couple others, and I'll pull up
a couple here. And of course I closed the tab
right before one. One big one that is about to
get some more praise that I think is probably a
little less underrated, which is why I didn't make the
full list. But Hellbender, I really loved it. Is from
the Adams family. They've done a hand on more than

(03:05:42):
a handful now, they've done like nine or ten films
together or something like that. I think it's very good
about to get a really great looking arrow release. I
had to pre order this one because I love a
really good witchy story and this is another group that
kind of like I did with two or three of
mine tonight, I highlighted the fact that low budget doesn't
have to mean low and I feel like the Adams
family is like the definition of doing that with every

(03:06:04):
single project they touch.

Speaker 2 (03:06:06):
This is good stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:06:07):
If you like which movies, Hellbender is a must, you
will probably appreciate it. Another one, and I've named probably
three or four others so this is probably five, so
I'll stop here. But Scare Me is another one that
didn't get a lot of attention. I you know, having
interviewed for the channel Josh Rubin, this is one of
the things that I saw because it had Josh Ruben

(03:06:29):
attached to it, and I expected it to be pretty bad,
and it surprised me.

Speaker 2 (03:06:33):
It is not terrible.

Speaker 4 (03:06:34):
It certainly isn't the highest quality thing the Shutters ever
put out by a country mile, but it's fun.

Speaker 2 (03:06:39):
It's a good time.

Speaker 4 (03:06:40):
And another one that I feel like gets unnecessary hate,
So I think kind of falls squarely in the underrated
category on this one.

Speaker 3 (03:06:48):
Agreed. Oh and going back to the Hellbender one, I
thought I thought that was a solid film. I liked
their film where the Devil Roams a lot more than
I will say.

Speaker 4 (03:07:00):
I like The Deeper You Dig even more. And I
don't think that one was a Shutter original, So I
couldn't include that. This has been really fun. I mean,
Shutters had such a deep catalog was this was tough
to narrow down for me.

Speaker 2 (03:07:14):
I'm sure you had some struggle struggles on that bus too.

Speaker 3 (03:07:16):
Yeah, at one point my list was like thirty five,
forty movies, so I had to whittle that down. It
was tough.

Speaker 4 (03:07:25):
Yeah, that is pretty telling that you can have that
many high quality releases that you can list as underrated.
That you've done pretty good over the years. That being said,
ten years is a long time to put stuff out,
and Shutter has been mostly consistent over that time.

Speaker 2 (03:07:39):
That being said, there's been a lot.

Speaker 4 (03:07:41):
Of dogshit titles too, I will be happily honest about that.

Speaker 3 (03:07:44):
The Scary of sixty first, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (03:07:49):
Hate that movie. Absolutely hate that movie. Carlin, thanks for
doing this. This has been a really fun episode.

Speaker 4 (03:07:56):
I hope people go subscribe to your channel and follow
you on Letterbox.

Speaker 2 (03:08:00):
Go look up Carling Cook. Anything else you want to
shout out for tonight.

Speaker 3 (03:08:04):
I do just want to say, like, if you are
struggling with mental health issues, reach out to people. I
like to kind of throw the stuff out there and
I talk about it sometimes on my channel because I
personally went through some really tough mental health struggles no
surprise during COVID that's when the wheels fell off. But
I then realized I had been dealing with anxiety kind

(03:08:27):
of all my life to a certain degree, So you know, anxiety, depression,
or whatever you're dealing with. You're not alone. You're not
the only person who's ever gone through it, even though
you will feel very alone at times. So definitely reach out,
don't do anything drastic or anything, and let's be there
to support each other. Be open to hearing from other people,

(03:08:47):
checking on other people. So mental health is important.

Speaker 2 (03:08:52):
Even for the two of us.

Speaker 4 (03:08:53):
I think that we are some of the people that
I would strongly recommend reaching out too. Specifically, you feel
like you have nobody else seen you be responsive to
other people in comments and stuff. I hope most people
will understand by now that if you message me anywhere,
I pretty much will always respond, sometimes shockingly fast, because
I also have mental health problems and I feel like
I'm letting you down if I don't. But that being said,

(03:09:16):
we're all here, and I think that this community has
turned into something special and I'm grateful for you being a.

Speaker 2 (03:09:23):
Part of it.

Speaker 3 (03:09:24):
Thank you for having me on. I was overjoyed when
you asked me to be on. I really was, and
I'd come back again. I would do it for sure.

Speaker 2 (03:09:33):
All right, we'll have you back. Thanks God.

Speaker 4 (03:09:38):
Now, now I'm curious what we're going to cover next time.
