  Speaker 2: Hello, this is Aaron West. I am the author of
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the A twenty four New Wave. In this book, I
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: look at A twenty four's output and I make the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: argument that we are in a new wave movement right now.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: A twenty four plays a major role. This book has
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a supplemental podcast where each episode is a brief conversation
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: about an A twenty four related topic, whether an actor, director,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: or even a genre. As I continue research for the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: book and conduct interviews, I expect to record podcasts episodes
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: with people involved with the company. You can find the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: podcast at sindjourneys dot com or wherever you find podcasts.
• 0:48

  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Look man, you got the tank top on, but you
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: still got the gold chain.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: It's it's I'm I feel like I'm like rocking that
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Tony soprano vibe right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: It's fucking hot, dude. Yeah, So, like, how many how
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: many hours are you away from like from Jersey?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Man, hold on, let's let's figure this out right now.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You're probably because you went to monster Mania before.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I did, and that was that was a pretty reasonable
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: fight going out there.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I'm curious that that. I'm curious of the drive. Let's see,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: well why you do that. This is our after hours episode.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: We do these monthly and it's kind of a physical
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: media spotlight we're gonna be. This is much like less structured,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: more of us just hanging out talking about a couple
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: titles we've been watching on physical media and kind of
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: talk about some physical media based stuff. I always love
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: these because I don't feel the pressure of a regular episode.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you feel that same way or.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Not, honestly, Yeah, these are these episodes are nice because
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it's more of us just really hanging out a little
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: bit more casual. We're able to catch up talk about
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: some of our recent watches or you know, new movies
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: that we picked up. Just an update. It's ten to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: eleven hours for me to drive out there. Not doing
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the drive, I'll do the flight.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So ten hour drive, that's like an hour and a
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: half flight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Right, Yes, it saves me a lot of time going
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to fly, dude, there's that That ticket
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: better be like thirty bucks.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's a quick flight. You know. It's even
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: quicker when I have gone into conventions in Chicago and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: it's like it feels like you're on the plane for
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: like a half hour tops.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, they can take off by the time you reach out,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you're coming right back down.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're barely breaking into a movie at that point.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, that's fun. I'm gonna have to come out
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna have to come out and see you guys. Man,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you guys can come out here whatever. Sometimes soon, Man,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: we've got to make that happen. But today we're here,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: we're talking about physical media. There's been a bunch of
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: stuff going on.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I definitely think more than ever. I think we have
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: more than enough like discussion points to to do a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: physical media based episode than ever before. The sheer volume
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: of things that are coming out is overwhelming, to say
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the least.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Understatement.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It's it's insane, dude. And I mean it's funny because
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: over the last year, I feel like I've seen less
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and less of the physical media is dead are I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: think people were kind of realizing, like, yeah, I went
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to Walmart today and bought the Monkey, and the physical
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: media section at my Walmart was booming. There was so
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: much stuff there, So I think we're we're in a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: good place right now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: It's nice to see that, though, especially when I feel
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: like for a long time there you would go to
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Walmart unfortunately best by us to be an option, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you go to Walmart and it was like slim pickings,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: like there was next to nothing there. Or remember when
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: they first started rolling out the steel books and just
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: it was cool to see like that second lease of
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: life when it came to physical media.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and big shout out to Neon. I got
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the Monkey on blue ray. It was only eighteen ninety nine,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: which a way very refreshed. I think the four K
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: was twenty five. I didn't feel the need to get
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the four K, but yeah, under twenty bucks for a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: new release felt very good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: You weren't trying to shell out for the Steel Book.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't see the Steel Book at Walmart.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Oh no, no, I think it's it's I know it's
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: available online, but I just felt like it was I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know any stomachetting that bro.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Then you have you have four K price, which is
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: minimum twenty five, and then you have like twenty five
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: dollars because it's wrapped in steel.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: So I just got in today something I'm very excited
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: about from Umbrella. I got the new Extremity Collection Volume one. Uh.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: This is really cool because it's a collection of kind
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: of the new wave French horror films that came out
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: of the early two thousands. They just announced volume two.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Of course after I bought. They just announced volume one.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: People are just receiving theirs and they already announced it
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: as part of their October.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: It's good timing, yeah it is.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: But Volume one here is four movies. I got just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a standard edition, so no booklet or anything. But there's
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: a bunch of new audio commentaries, new video essays, all
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: kinds of new stuff that really kind of upped the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: value for me. Sorry I'm looking outside because says the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: storm it's ass off every time we record, man, there's
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a storm. Yeah, but in this set they have a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Blu Ray of High Tension from Alexander Aja. Great, yeah, dude,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I already have that from second site, but this comes
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: with a new audio commentary. In this set, you also
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: have Anatomy of Hell, which is one I had never
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: even heard of before buying this set. And then you
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: get two of I would say the most notorious of
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the bunch, which is Martyrs and Frontiers on Blu Ray,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and both of those are incredibly tough watches, even for
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: people like me who can withstand, you know, quite the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the the experience. Those movies are are rough, rough set throughs.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I feel like those are some heavy hitters that they
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: had for volume one.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, Volume two is relatively unknown, except for In
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: My Skin, which is getting a which just got to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: release from Severn. So that's in volume two.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Chris, you're selling me on both these box sets. You yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: oh man?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: What about you? Man, anything that you've picked up that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you haven't been able to watch yet?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: So I just got in from the movie Room Dance
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: or Die Nice super pumped for this. Uh. Terror Vision
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: has been knocking it out of the park with their
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: like the what would you consider I'm like the like
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the hard slip covers that they have for each of
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: their releases. So they started with the w NUF special
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and ever since then they've been or i should say
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: frog Man and WNUF past that point, then they started
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: releasing a lot of these limited edition releases with the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: hard slip cover. And yeah, it's it's super pump that
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: this is finally here. I'm excited to dive into this.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I love these more obscure eighties gems, especially when it
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: comes to horror, and I don't know, based on presentation,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: this looks phenomenal. I've heard nothing but good things about
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: this movie, so that's definitely on my watch list for
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the next couple of nights.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Perfect segue too. So very proud to announce that our
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: after hour segment is officially going to be sponsored by

  Speaker 3: physical media, man, I will say right now, So I
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: looked at my phone. It's like a severe thunderstorm warning

• 12:39
  Speaker 3: grayish green outside, like loving it right now. I got

• 12:51
  Speaker 3: kick us off man with with with let's spotlight some
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: some physical media you've been watching all right?
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Well, one label that I've been really closely watching with
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: their releases that they've been putting out is One on
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: One Films. Oh yeah, so I've been steadily picking up
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: more and more titles from them, and the movie that
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about, which this is a really
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: really nice release. Transers so released in nineteen eighty four.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: This is released under Empire Pictures, so if you're a
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: fan of Empire Pictures Full Moon features, these are all
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: really really fun movies to revisit, and this one's no exception.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But the thing that I like most about it was
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: there was just not only was the transfer incredible, there
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: was a big, big upbrade I felt like between the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Bluery release and this Yep yep. So. So with this
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: there was some brand new extras that were included in
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: on this release. So there's a new interview with Charles Band,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: a new interview with Chris Alexander as well as an
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: interview with Ted Nicolau as well, so three new interviews
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: in there, and then they also have some archive content
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: as well as so commentary with Charles Band and Tim Thomerson.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: There's a short film on there, and then a video
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: essay making up featurette, some trailers and then archival interviews
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: stills that are included in on that release. So they
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: definitely went all out on this. It's very exciting to
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: see that a lot of these Full Moon movies are
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: getting I think the love that they finally deserve, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: looks like one on one Films is steadily, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: releasing more and more of these movies, which I don't know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: it's just it's it's cool to see them get the
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: boutique treatment.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I just got my copy of Castle Freak in
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: oh yeah from them, which, Yeah, very excited to dive
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: into that. In your I didn't really grow up a
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Full Moon Empire guy, that's some. There's there's a lot
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of big titles I'm still getting into, like Subspecies and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: puppet Master. I'm a very loose fan of Transfers is
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: one that I remember seeing years ago, not anywhere soon
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: enough that I kind of remember a lot of it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Where do you put transfer Transfer? Was a Transfers Transfers
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: in your Empire Full Moon like franchise ranking, because I
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: think there's a bunch of them.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, So I would say I can't really speak
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: on the sequels as much, but for the first one,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I feel like that that I would consider that probably
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: in like the the top tier as far as you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: out of like that umbrella of films. I also always read,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I mean you were talking about the pup Master movies.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I feel like that those are the more like beloved
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: ones or more known films that they've released. I think
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the Subspecies movies are are excellent, and then they have
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: like The Pit and the Pendulum is really good. Yeah, Castle, Frank,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: you were talking about that one. That's another favorite of buying.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: So those are the ones like I would put transfers
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: in there, like at least for the first one. It's
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: a really good movie and you're into like sci fi
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: kind of thriller type movies. I think this is definitely
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: worth checking out. It's a stacked release.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's also a little booklet because that's part
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: of their black label.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, so it's got this right here.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, dude's awesome.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So, but it's just it's a quick read, nothing
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: too crazy, honestly.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: So I'll be honest with you, we were talking about
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: this earlier. I would rather give me a small booklet
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: with like one or two good reads in it over
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a big booklet that's kind of just a bunch of nonsense.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's it's cool to see that they're definitely,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: you know, with this release, it definitely seems that they're
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: putting a lot of like attention to the details in it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: So I'm just really happy to finally have that in
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the collection amongst some other Empire pictures and in Full
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Moon titles, and yeah, yeah, I thought overall it was
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: a really really great four K.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's worth mentioning as well that you know
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Full Moon is still doing releasing or releases here in
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the US. One on one Films is a UK label,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: so clearly they're made for the UK market. Four k's
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: are region free, yes, so anybody can pick that up.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I know Castle Freak is region be locked, I think
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: because that's only a Blu ray, but it might be
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: region free. I don't I have to double check. Yeah, dude,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Transwers is an awesome pickup. Dude, I really love that
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: One on one Film's black label line.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: They've got some good ones that they're that they've got
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: slated coming up here. I mean, got Castle Freak. Tourist
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Trap is another one that I'm really excited about. So
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: I'm curious to see what you know, what they have
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: on the horizon.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man, great first choice.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, what do you got? Chris? Uh So?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I actually, of my four picks, I only have two
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: labels between these, but I want to start with a
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: slightly older one. This one's a couple of years old now,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: but I finally tapped into it. And this is from
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome. This is their four K of the Incredible
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Melting Man from nineteen seventy seven. I don't know, are
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: you familiar with this one at all?
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Not really?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So this was one that my my wife
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: remembers seeing when she was young, but it was her brothers,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: my my in laws that really loved this movie. This
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: was produced by Orion Pictures, which is always a fun
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: label to go back and watch some of the.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Stuff they play.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: This it's it's a story about an astronaut who attempts
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: to go fly. They attempted to go land on the
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Rings of Saturn? Is it or Venus?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It did?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It's something, it's something ridiculous. Let me see if I
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: can read this year. Oh yeah, they're first ever voyage
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: to the Rings of Saturn.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: The journey as you do, Yeah, you do.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: There's a crazy phenomenon where there's some sort of flare
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that comes off the planet. Only one of the astronauts
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: survive and essentially he wakes up in the hospital and
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: he's melting is and he escapes and it flees into
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: this town and he's being chased down by a doctor
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: and an army general. And that's like as as best
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I feel like I can describe the plot.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: What was it? Was this the first time watch for you?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Or had you seen this film? No?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I knew nothing.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: My way.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I remember when this came out. My wife was like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: oh shit, incredible melting man. My brothers loved that movie,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: and I bought it because you know, I thought she
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: would she would be into it, and then it just
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: kind of sat on the shelf for a little bit.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: But I have to tell you, dude, I had so
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: much fun with this. Uh. The the the effects here
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: are done by Rick Baker, okay, and his assistance on
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: this movie. One of his assistants on this movie were
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: was Rob Boutine a couple of years before he went
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to go do the thing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: No way, yeah, yeah, okay, I didn't know that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So you have Rob Boutine and Rick Baker too,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: you know. Now legends in the makeup industry, you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: have their hands in this and there there's some really
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: really gross stuff and it's funny because then there's an
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: interview with Rick Baker and the Bonus Features where he
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: talks about how originally, you know, like you would think
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: he's supposed to gradually melt more as a movie goes on,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: but they didn't really have the budget to do it properly,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: so he for most of the movie. And this is
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: his quote. He says, for most of the movie, he's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: just the oopy, gloopy man. And like, you know, it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: got that weird seventies I think I closest related to
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: like it's kind of got a little bit of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: vibes of like town that dreaded sundown. Okay, there's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: there's a moment when the doctor is like on the
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: trail and he's using a radiation detector to follow him,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: and he comes across a bush and in the bush
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: is like flesh and an ear and it doesn't show
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: the characters say it, but he goes like, oh his
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: ear unintentionally funny. Yeah, but there's some really nasty effects
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in it. Man. There's a great beheading. And I will
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: say there at the end of the movie, there is
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: an electrocution. Somebody gets thrown over the edge of a
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: balcony onto like high high energy power lines.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I have no idea how they did it, dude. It's
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: incredibly shocking. It is incredibly realistic. I mean, like to
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: the point where I I I'm having fun with the
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: movie and I'm enjoying it, and at that moment, it
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: actually really grossed me out because I just felt like
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I had watched this happened to somebody. That's how real
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: it was shown. I mean, sparks flying like it wasn't
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: some typical movie electrocution. It was out of control.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: That's high praise, especially bothers.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: You, Oh my god, dude, what it's like certain You know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I hate electricity. That's why I'm not an electrician. Y uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: And it it really bothered me. Man. Just I'll try
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: to find a YouTube clip and send it to you.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: It's a really it's really impressive. When you look at
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: kind of the scale of the electrocution, You're like, holy shit, dude,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: it's really.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Is it like Faces of Death electrocution that style?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Bro, It's it's wild, dude, it's wild. If you've seen
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: the movie, then you because it's when I was reading
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: about the movie that was kind of one of the
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: big key scenes that everyone remembers, was like, oh, no electrocution,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: but this four K looked incredible. It looked absolutely fantastic,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a ton of fun with the movie. It's not perfect,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: but whatever. A couple of really great interviews on this
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: disc as well, particularly the one with Rick Baker. It's
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: with Rick Baker and I'm trying to remember right now,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: interview Future at with William Sackson special effects Artistrick Baker.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: There is there is an interview on here with William Sackson, director,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: but it's kind of all over the place and a
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: little silly, so I didn't love it. But this one
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: is a high praise for me. Man, The incredible Melting
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Man is awesome.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: And you're selling me on this one, dude, So it
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: sounds right up my alley, bro.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: It's so much I'm telling you, man, it's like, if
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: you can get down with that that kind of silly
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: vibe of the Town that Dreaded Sundown, then you can
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: get down with with this, dude. This is This is
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: grosser and it's a lot not as silly as Town
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: that Dreaded Sundown, but you'll you'll find the comparisons. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: something about that that late seventies vibe that just kind
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: of comes.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Through, you know, very special.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: What else you got, man, I'm curious to see what
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I I ended up upgrading Okay, So at one
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: point I had the screen Factory release, but this is
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: a movie that I feel like deserves a little bit
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: more of a premium look. Shelf okay, and I finally
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: made the jump and picked up the four K. Candy Man,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I have that, dude so good. This looks better in person.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I kept trying to tell myself there was no need
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: for this, and you know, I already had the four K,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: so you know what difference is it gonna make? But
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. Arrow went all out on this one.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I know that the transfer is the same for this release,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: but I mean, for a movie that's so iconic, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: just felt like it needed something a little bit more
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: premium feeling, and this definitely delivered. So with this release,
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: there there's a handful of additional like special features that
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: were included in on here. So you have dual cuts
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: of the film, theatrical and unrated new Adobe at most
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: track commentary actually a couple of commentaries on this, and
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: then it also features the Blu Ray release of this
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: as well. Also includes on top of that, there's a
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: forty page hardcovers, storyboard book, perfectly bound booklet with essays,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: the lobby cards and as always which I appreciate, the
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: reversible like the slip cover art, which is always cool.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: And I don't know, I mean, this movie is just
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: so iconic. It was one that I grew up on
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: and will always have a very special place to me
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: as far as like nineties horror movies go. What did
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: you think of this release? You've obviously, I mean, you
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: own it and you've seen it before. How did this
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: stack up for you?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: It looks it looks phenomenal, man, I really like I
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: love the artwork on the hard box. Oh yeah, they
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: arrow did that same box set on Blu ray years ago,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: and then they just put the new transfer on and
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: released it on four K. I thought it looks fantastic.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Candy Man is a movie to me that gets it's
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: like fine wine, you know. And unfortunately, now we're living
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: in a post Tony Todd world and there's a lot
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: of reassessments of his performances going on, which should you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: it's unfortunate that these reassessments don't happen when people are
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: still alive. But you know, and I think that movie
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: is more important than ever. You know what's funny, dude,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I when Tony Todd died, I did a double feature
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: and I watched the Bernard Rose Candy Man the Nineties one,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: and then I watched the Nia da Costa sequel, which
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: which I think is just as good. Just to be clear,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I think they're both just as good. Both of those
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: movies are like arresting, like there's this sense of dread,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: but they're made so elegantly man like them like the
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: fact that they actually went to you know, Cabrini Green
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: and centered this around a real place and they, dude,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: they were filming this like surrounded by actual gangs that
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: had nothing to do with the production that were just
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: hanging out in the area, and they had to have
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: police on on zet And it's that movie's timeless, man,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: it just gets better with age.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: It's it's a movie that I find it so interesting
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: on rewatch, just how perfectly blends the gothic horror aspect
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: of the film while weaving in the urban legend aspect
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: of it. And it's I think with Tony Todd's performance
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: in this movie, I couldn't imagine anyone else taking on
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: playing Candy Man, I just don't think it would carry
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: the same weight. And to see such a beloved movie
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: get such a gorgeous release and there's just so much
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: love and thought that was put into this. It just
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: makes me so happy to have this in my collection.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: And I just feel like it's you know, if anyone listening,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: if you do get the opportunity to get out there
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: and and you know you're able to find it, it's
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: definitely definitely worth That's that's a high recommendation for me.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude. The Phillip Glass score is like such a
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: haunting score that stands up outside of the movie like
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: if yes, put it on.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: But you and you and I always talk about that
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: the importance of like, you know, soundtracks and just how
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: there's just so many iconic especially like in the horror
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: movies that we love. But there's just so many iconic
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: soundtracks that you can even listen to even outside of
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: of you know, watching the film.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that score is not long. I think
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: it's like eight tracks, but it's incredibly effective. I just
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the do do do Do Do Do do? Like little
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: tone that runs, Oh, it's so so good man. It's
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: interesting too, because I'm waiting for a really good release
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: of the Nia DaCosta candy Man. I would love to
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: get just a nicer presentation of that outside of the studio,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: but you know, the not to go on like a
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Candyman tangent. But that sequel does a.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Really good job and I always welcome it.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean that sequel does a really good
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: job at capturing the spirit, and I love when you
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: can expand on the story that doesn't negate the original
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: and in the sequel, when they when in a sequel
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: when they say, hey, candy Man is an idea, it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: a presence. It doesn't have to be a singular person.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: You know, Tony Todd is the original candy Man, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: the sequel says that anybody can become candy Man, anybody
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: who's unfortunate enough to be in the city situation. That's
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: kind of what happens in that But that movie shows
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: so much respect by having Tony Todd show up at
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the end and he just does the tell everyone and
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I remember, dude still to day gives me chills. When
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: that camera pans away from the violence of the of
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: what happened to the police cars, it comes around the
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: corner and you see all the bees and you have
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Tony Todd poked through and yeah, it's incredible, man. I
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: mean still to stay that parking garage scene, you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the be my victim.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, it feels like after that scene occurs, that
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: that movie has a hold on you and it's just
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: dragging you down with just how everything begins to spiral
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: out of control. And I always remember that movie. And
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: we were talking about the puppet Master movies earlier, but
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I always remember a Candy Man and those movies always
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: finding somehow I always ended up see them on TV
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: when I was younger, and it's, uh, I don't know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: it's it's I have a lot of fun memories with
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: this movie. And I feel very fortunate that I was
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: able to say Tony Todd a couple of years back.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: So it's unfortunate, but I feel like that this is
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: like the best way to remember his legacy.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Well, let's make sure that one day we cover Candy
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Man on here.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, Terry Dive. We have absolutely.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Good pick Man. I love that. I love that release.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Very good pick which A goat, Chris.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: For my second choice, I'm gonna go with second site.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: And let me figure out what year this was from
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: really faz because I forget. I want to say this
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: was twenty sixteen. I wish I'm so bad with Yeah,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, and I'm talking about Jeremy Saunier's green Room.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: That's a good one, dude.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I have this on four K from second site. I've
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: had this for a little while now. I finally took
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: the like plunge into it and he dove into it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: There's something about this movie that's so incredibly engaging. It's
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: and I think we've talked about this before in some
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: other capacity, can remember having this conversation. But green Room
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: kind of lives in this weird space of time where
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: it's like it's like before dawn, where it's still dark,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: but there's like a little bit of color in this guy,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: and it sort of lives there, which makes her a
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: really interesting visual experience that I think the four K
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: really stands out. Didn't even talk about the plot. Green
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Room is about a kind of old school punk band
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: who is kind of doing things down and dirty way.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: They're not digital, they're not on Facebook, they're not on
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: social platforms. They're kind of on the road, siphoning gas.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: They have no money. They're playing in diners for like
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: ten bucks, and they get an opportunity for like this
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: pretty good cover. I think it was two hundred and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: fifty dollars. But they have to play at a like
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: a like a Nazi bar essentially is what it is.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: So they show up and uh, the first song they
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: play is a cover of by the Dead Kennedy's what's
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: that song called that they play? It's the anti Nazi song.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I'm totally blanking on it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I forget what it's called. But they play, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: it kind of like establishes this mood. But they end
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: up when they're set is over, they end up witnessing
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: a murder in the green room and they get locked
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: in to the green room, and the rest of the
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: movie is this fight for survival?
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Was it? Was it Nazi Punk's fuck Off?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Yes? Not so okay off? Yep?
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I couldn't for the life of me, because I've listened
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: to a little bit of their music, but that was
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: that was escaping me because I remember that was used
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: in it. Yep, And yeah, nice the choice.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: My favorite part of that scene is that they play
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: it and then the singer goes thank you, that was
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: a cover because like, nobody in the crowd is happy
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: that they just you know, played that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: So before you dive into it with green Room, was
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: this a movie that you were surprised Second Site ended
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: up releasing. Do you feel like that that fits with
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: their catalog of movies they put out.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I think so. I absolutely think so, because green Room
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: is not as much it's not a traditional horror movie.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It's a thriller. To me, it's it's you know, it's
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: like thriller is a subgenre of horror, but it's it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: a thriller. I mean, it's a survival film. There's nothing
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: about it that's scary per se in the traditional sense.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: But I think this was a movie kind of begging
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: for an upgrade. I had a Blu ray that was
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: from like a Walmart bargain bin that I think I
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: bought in like twenty seventeen, So it was kind of
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: begging for an upgrade. And it looks incredible in four K,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: like absolutely incredible in four K. There's a wonderful interview
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: with Jeremy Salln here. There's a there's another interview that
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: I loved on here, which was called Rocking Out that
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: was what the composers Brooken Willblair, and then Going Green,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: which is a brand new interview with the production designer
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Ryan Warren Smith who kind of talks about building this
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: venue in his research on kind of what these bars
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: were like and these venues were like. So it's very real,
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: very dark.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, I was gonna say in that whole movie,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I feel like has a very like chaustrophobic feel to it,
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: with like one thing to start ramping up and you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: just the tension starts mounting. It's very it's a very
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: uncomfortable movie to set through. Kind of keeps you on
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: the edge of your receipt as.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: It's like Patrick Stewart puts on an incredible performance as
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: kind of like the he's the leader of this this
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: you know, neo Nazi group, but he's so calm and
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: he's so different from everybody else, And it taps into
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: like these very real because you know, clearly, I you
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: know that that's not a thing that any of us support.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: That's not a puce to some none of us. So
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: you go into this movie knowing that your antagonists are
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: completely trash, right, but the movie never takes a side.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: It's it's not telling you that this is good and
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: this is bad. It's just putting you in the middle
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: of this situation and letting it unfold. So it's not
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: taking a political stance. I mean, clearly, it's very satisfying
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: seeing a neo Nazi, you know, gets shot. It's very
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: satisfying on film, But the movie's not taking a side
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: in that. And this is a movie that's rooted in
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: the punk lifestyle. Jeremy Salnier was in a punk band,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: which is anti establishment on all of this, you know,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: rebellious attitude coming from punk music. So this the roots
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: of this movie were born and bred in this lifestyle.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: So a lot of it's very real, meaning real to
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: when they introduced like the Red Laces, who are kind
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: of like the henchmen, or like the guys that are
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: willing to sacrifice themselves, sort of belief in all of that.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: So it's it's an interesting movie, man because Patrick Stewart
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: is so different. He doesn't appear to be like one
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: of them, he doesn't act like one of them, but
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: he's the proud leader. Even the violence, there's an impact
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to the violence in this movie, man, Like there's a
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: terrifying scene when Antony Elchin rests in peace, when he
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: reaches his hand out of the door and they attack
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: him his arm with a blade, and when he pulls
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: his arm in, it's not a bloody mess. It's a
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: very realistic looking set of wounds that's just like you're like,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: oh God, like really gross man looking. Dude's super gnarly man.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: And the whole movie is like that. And I think
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: this release is perfect because I love the booklet. There's
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: a bunch of good essays in here about kind of
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: the realism or like the relationship between punk music and
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: what's shown in the movie. There's a lot of like
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: really great reads. It's more of like the history of
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: punk in the history of anti establishment in film that
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I think makes for a great read. Of course, second site,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: it's like one hundred and twenty page I call it
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: a book, not even a booklet. I think this limited
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: edition is now out of print. I'm on their website
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: and it is officially out of print, so you're gonna
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: have to find this through. I think I've seen it
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: on eBay for like fifty sixty bucks. But yeah, an incredible,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: incredible four K, great release, great movie that I feel
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: like was begging for for some some new attention.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: You know, did you initially see this when it came out.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I saw this like two years after. I think, I said,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I found it in a Walmart Bend, okay, because I
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: think it was a twenty four. It was a twenty four,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: one of those like I think it was one of
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: those labels. I think it was a twenty four right, yes, yes,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: it was a twenty four. Yeah. So I found the
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Blue Ray in like the the Value Ben and then
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I remember bringing it home and it was I remember
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: reading that it was the director of Blue Ruin and
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah, and that's game over.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I loved it. Yeah, I watched it. I was like, man,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: and I saw it. I watched that Blue Ray so
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: many times. Man, So when this four K came out,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: I was it was a moment. It was a one
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: minute purchase, like I did. I did not. I didn't
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: look at bonus features. I didn't look at anything. I
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: was just like yep, by that.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: You know, out of all labels, I feel like we
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: talked about this a lot. Second site is usually their announcements.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Those are the ones that I feel like kind of
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: draw us in the most when it comes to their
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: you know, whatever they're planning on releasing. And I remember
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: when that that was announced that was I was like, okay,
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: you know that's that's another another solid addition to their collection.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I think it was. I think this was released in
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: conjunction with Possessor, or was a Possessor in Crimes of
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: the Future. I remember, because they usually announced one or
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: two at a time. I think they announced.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, you might be right. I think it was
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Possessor because I was while you were talking about their release.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I was trying to figure out which was the other
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: movie that was the coincide when when this one was
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: put out.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Possessor, I think, which was another like
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: minute one purchase. And you know still now like my
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: preorder is in for Winnevil Lurks, my pre order is
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: in for the Innkeepers, my preorder is in for the
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Pusher t I already have House of the Devil. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: second site is a label. I don't question. I just
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: whatever they announced. I'm like, well, it looks like I'm upgrading.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: That I was. I can't tell you not to get
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: off topic, but I can't tell you how happy I
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: was when I saw that they were releasing when Evil Lurks,
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: because that's a movie that it was a very pleasant
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: surprise to see that in theater and to see Second Site,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: you know, give it such a deluxe treatment only not
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: even two years later. Is I don't know, just I
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: guess it goes to show that Uh yeah, that movie
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: definitely definitely delivered.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Same with the Coffee Table that they put out this year.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: You know, another shutter foreign title that didn't get a
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: whole lot of attention, and it was an incredible movie
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: and they gave it the world's treatment, So shout out
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: to them in every way man. And the great prices too,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Like you know, you can get the Pusher Trilogy, which
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: is three movies on four K with new comments, all
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: this stuff, you know, you can get for sixty bucks.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: That's you know, people are paying that for for Blu rays,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: you know now, So I think Innkeepers is less than
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: fifty bucks for a four K booklet all new bonus features,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: so worth worth the value, you know.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Well, it's cool, especially because I mean they're definitely it
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: seems like Second Site's definitely got I feel like the
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: ty West films mastered as far as like how to
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: release them and to release some of the best possible qualities.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I have a good feeling about about the
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Innkeepers how that's going to turn out.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, what uh what else did you bring for us?
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: Well, this one. I I'm curious to get a little
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: bit of feedback from you on this one. But I
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: picked up paranormal activity from Second sitey So speaking of
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Witch like that, that was actually really good timing segue
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: or away into this What are your memories with this movie?
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: Because I think that this would have came out I
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: think when I was I was still in high school
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: when this film came out. Yeah, and I just remember
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: the impact this movie had when it first came out,
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: and just how it was tougher to try to track
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: down theaters that were actually playing this movie, and that
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: made it that much more desirable. And you heard about
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: word of mouth and the marketing was wild for that movie.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's There are two times in my in
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: my life I feel like I was able to bear
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: witness to an event meaning that's what it is, Yeah,
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: meaning horror has surpassed just the little circle and it
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: became big. And one of them was it in twenty seven? Okay,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: the Andy Muscietti Retelling. I remember everybody and their mother
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: talking about that it made a huge impact. And the
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: other was Paranormal Activity. And I you know what's funny too,
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: I remember how I feel like for people our age
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: that were born in ninety one, ninety two, ninety three,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: the promotional impact of Paranormal Activity to us is what
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: a few years earlier to people our age Blair Witch
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Project did. Yes, you know, because I remember the marketing
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: for Paranormal Activity so well, dude, it was so effective.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: Well, and you know the way that they went about
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: advertising it was really smart because it drove up the
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: amount of hype that was building behind this movie.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: They had those theater shots, remember it was like the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: black Like it was like the night vision shots of
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: people jumping in their seats in the audience reactions.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it's there's a lot of really really
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: nostalgic memories attached with this movie, just the impact that
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: it had. I feel like this and then years later
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: with the word of mouth for Hereditary when that came out,
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: are the two movies. I always remember just how much
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: hype was behind it, you know, before and then when
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: the film was released, it was one of those movies
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: that you you don't want to miss out on because
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: you want to be part of the experience. And to
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: see that either of these movies in a full theater
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: was just very immersive. But yeah, so basically just for
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: those who aren't aware, So basically just a quick synopsis
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: on the story. So it's a young couple becomes convinced
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: their suburban home is being haunted by demonic presence. So
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: the gist of his in hope of finding some evidence,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: they set up a video camera and they're bedroom to
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: film the room as they sleep. So essentially we're seeing
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: this as the audience. You're seeing how this is playing
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: out over multiple nights and the amount of like strange
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: paranormal stuff that begins to take place. And I know
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: definitively with this one. It's even years later, this movie
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: is I mean, if you turn the lights off and
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: you're just watching this and there's nobody home, it's creepy. Man.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: I don't care how many sequels that have come out
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: since then. This movie is very effective and you're paying
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: attention to all these little details that are taking place
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: in the room, and it's probably like, what would you say,
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, really outside of the Blair Witch Project. Up
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: until when this came out, we didn't really have more
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: notable found footage movies that did it in the best
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: way possible, the same way that that Blair Witch Project did.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: It always comes back to like the simplicity of it,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: which is, you know, like Orin Pelly directed this movie.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: He made it for under fifteen thousand dollars, like this
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: was his this was his home that he made this in.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: And what's incredible about it is it we we rewatched
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: this not long ago, and I remember being like, I
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: know what's coming, Like I know what's about to happen
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: in a scene, but I'm still like, just it's you know,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: because it happens at night when you're the most vulnerable.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: That's exactly it.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: That's when everything's happening, and you have even to me,
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: it's always creepiest with the Ouigi board. They leave and
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: then the Ouigi board goes nuts and catches on fire.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: But also when she wakes up and just stares at
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: him for I think it's like what three hours fast forward.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fast yep, fast forwards for the time, it's.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Like three hours that she's just standing there watching him,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: and you know, at the end of the movie, there's
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: no you didn't learn anything, Like you didn't know. There
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: was a couple of things brought up about this could
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: be an attachment from childhood and stuff, but you know,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: there was no proper resolution, and that was always like
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I think where the sequels went wrong. It's like you
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: don't have to explain this thing. Less is more, still
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: scary though, dude, like still really really impactful.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, I mean this just as a whole,
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: the presentation on this is exceptional. Just I was happy
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: to be able to finally get my hands on this
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: one because I've been looking for it for some time.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: But it's got a nice Richard slipcase, softcover book clip,
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: It's got a couple of art cards in there. You've
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: got a number of different audio commentaries on this new
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: well when that's was released, new interviews, and then it
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: has a couple of different endings, so you had the
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: alternative ending and then the festival cut ending, deleted scene,
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: and then you've got some additional content on there as well.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: So as always, I mean, we obviously were talking about
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: this earlier very sacked release. Uh, you know, as second
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: Site always is so great about doing and this is
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: another great one. I mean, if you if you guys
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: are big on these movies, you know, I know that
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: there's other releases out there, but if you really want
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: the definitive way to own, at least the first one,
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: I think this is the way to go.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have the like the what did they call it,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: the like the full collection that Paramount.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Put out with the hand Uh is that the one
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: like the hand imprint on it?
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah? That I had. Yeah, yeah, there was like I
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: got it for like forty bucks or something. And I've
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: never watched any of the I remember a Paranormal Activity
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: two being okay, I really liked three, and then from
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: there I just say, yeah, I never watched any of them.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: I think what sold me on it was the documentary
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: that was on Paramount that was I think was on
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Paramount Plus Exclusive. And then you also got the final
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: movie that was of streaming exclusive as well. That's part
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: of that set. But yeah, I mean those movies are
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: still especially that first one.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, effective.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Man, really effective. So I'll talk about something that's newer
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: and I won't won't talk about it too long, but
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: recently picked us up from the Vinegar Syndrome drop. And
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: this is George A Romero's The Dark Half. Hell Yeah,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: And this one was long long overdue for an upgrade
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: from that screen factory Blu Ray. And I want to
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: thank all the people who paid the resale prices recently
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: for that Blu Ray, because I have some friends who
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: finally were like, I'm gonna buy it, and then they
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: overpaid for it, and then the four K was announced.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Thank you for your sacrifice.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: So I just want to say thank you for your sacrifice.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: So this is now put out in four K from
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome. It is their rigid box release with a
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: booklet that slipcover. It's a great presentation, Like I love
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: the notes slipcover that's on here. This is obviously, like
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: I said, directed by George A Romero, based on the
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: Stephen King. Novel follows an author that Beaumont, who is
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: a writer. He has somebody uncovers that he's been writing
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: under a pseudo ame. He's been writing kind of like
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: these sleazy action novels under a pseudo ame because they're
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: selling really well, and he decides to essentially kill off
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: this this alter ego half of his and turns out
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: that uh, that it's not that simple, and he gets
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: into a battle with literally a dark half of himself
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: that is physically manifested, and it becomes a wild, wild
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: journey that's like half slasher, half psychological horror, one of
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, outside of the Dead movies, probably Georgia
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: Merrow's best.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude. It was his first, it was his biggest,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: it was his first studio film. He had the biggest budget,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: the biggest crew. And what's really interesting to me is
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: that the Dark Half Stephen King book is Stephen King
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: wrestling with his pseudonym of Richard Bachman.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: So you interesting parallels.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, So you have that parallel, but then you have
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Georgia Merrow, who is doing his first big studio release
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: trying to battle with the kind of indie filmmaking self.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: So you have two kind of battles happening within the
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: story of Stephen King battling wrestle his other ego with
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: writing the book. And then you have George Romerow wrestling
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: one side of himself to adapt the book that's based
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: on the same thing that he's going through. So it's
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: really interesting, man, and it's great. I mean, the slasher
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: stuff is awesome. Timothy Hutton puts on a fantastic lead performance.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Michael Rooker is awesome as the sheriff.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: It's a very atmospheric film too. It's just very cozy, intimate,
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: creepy mm hmm.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks great. The four K looks phenomenal. You
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: also have a great they imported over the Red Shirt
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Pictures making of documentary. It's like forty minutes long from
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: the screen factor release, So that's on here. You also
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: have a couple of new interviews on here, one with
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: George A Romero's assistant director that I really liked. It
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: gives you a lot of insight into kind of like
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: that Pittsburgh crew that Romero used so efficiently for most
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: of his career. And Yeah, just a packed release, man,
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: a movie that I really really really enjoyed and really
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: loved and super happy that now it's back in the conversation.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because I.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: Feel like, you know, you had obviously all the dead
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: movies could talk about Martin from Second Sight. The conversation
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: kicked off on that a couple of years ago.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: That's another nice one.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Indicator put out Bruiser, which was the movie he
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: did after the Dark Half seven years later, so that
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: you know, new conversation. Some happy people are discovering The
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Dark Half, and I've seen a lot of conversation around like, hey,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: is this you know, kind of secretly Georgia Mero's best
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: movie outside of his Dead movies.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: So I would I would have to say, I don't
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: know about you, but if outside of the Dead trilogy,
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: I feel like Martin, this and then Creepshow obviously are
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: probably some of his best films outside of the Dead trilogy.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bruiser is good. I did love I mean, it's
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: not a movie, it's more of like a PSA. But
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: I did love The Amusement Park, which was that lost film.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: You know that fifty two minutes. It was like a
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: public service announcement thing. But I did love that that
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: he directed. He just you know what it is, George
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Romero was His inspirations were very like I don't want
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: to say, not flashy, but very traditional filmmakers. You know,
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: there's not a lot of flashiness in Romero's work. And
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: it's interesting because in one of the interviews with the
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: cinematographer for The Dark Half, he talks about how he
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: fell out of place because he is. He is from Europe,
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: and him and Romero kind of clashed and it was
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: his idea to do the alternating red and blue light
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: in the hallway scene in the Dark Half, which wasn't
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: really Romero's speed, and so a lot of that visual
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: pops in the Dark Half were more outside influences than Romero.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: But I think there's a nice balance there, you know,
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: it brings just enough of that in it doesn't detract
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: from the very traditional, straightforward, typical Romero storytelling.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: You know, well he's been I feel like in recent years.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: The other one that we forgot to mention was Monkey
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Shines just got a four K as well from Spring Factory.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, sin Spring Factory, a blu ray from Umbrella. But
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: again another movie that's not there's not a lot of
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: visual flashing monkey Shines. It's very traditional. No. And here's
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: the thing though, great statement on George Romeiro. You don't
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: he doesn't need that, Like, he doesn't need to. He
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't need to, you know, wow, you with with with
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: whatever's happening. He just does a really good job at
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: at shooting movies, very straightforward. They tell great stories, they're scary,
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: and they're effective. So I think that's pretty You can
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: kind of paint that that that across across his filmography.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: I think I just think the the uh, the films
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: that he did outside of the Dead Trilogy, I think
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: they're very, very diverse as far as types of stories
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: that he tells, and he was just so effective like
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: he had like after those films, he had such a
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: strong run with some of the films that we were
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: talking about. I just it's exciting to just see that
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: he's getting his due for some of his lesser known movies.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: And Vinegrant Syndrome did a phenomenal job with this release.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: Well that's what's funny is you have and one of
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: the write ups in the little booklet Vinegar Syndrome gives
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: you here there's a which I never even thought of.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: You know, Romero does a dark half. He really struggles
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: with the big budget, studio involvement style of production. He
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: the experience of the Dark Half led him to take
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: the biggest break in his career ever. You know, he
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: took seven years off and then the movie that he
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: returns to make, a Bruiser, is literally a movie about
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: a man who wakes up with out of face. So
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: I think the experience of the dark half in the
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: experience of the big studio thing just lived with him
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: for so long. He didn't really get that out until Bruiser.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of an interesting double feature to see
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: what Romero was really struggling with, because there's a bit
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: in the bonus features here with Georgia Merrow's wife at
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: the time, who actually says how bad he struggled, and
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: there were days that he woke up and just physically
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: couldnot get himself out of bed because he was so
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: just emotionally tattered by the experience of this movie, which
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: is crazy to think about man. And she said, hey,
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: that that's not like him, Like, that's not what he
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: that She had never seen that before from it. I
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: actually think that's in the booklet. Yeah, it's in the booklet.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: So it's interesting to look at. You know, you don't
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: get that in the Dead movie. You don't get that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: much of his other his other at all. I think
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: the nineties are really interesting dive into, you know, the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: world of Romero.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: What we got one more left? Man? Did you save
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: the best for last?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: I did listen. It's uh. I would have to say,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: it's more so for I say the best for last
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: for what I enjoy, but coming off of a he
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: had a whole week dedicated to him, and I had
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: to say the best one for last. That by the cemetery.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: So I initially had picked up the I believe it's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: the Blue Underground release, and with the anticipation we're getting
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: Zombie next month, I four k through Arrow and we
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: have the Beyond. Obviously that's that's in the rear view
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: now at this point, but it felt right to make
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: that upgrade. And not that there's anything wrong with the
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: Blue Underground release. I think it's it's incredible for for
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: what it is. But the more and more that I
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: saw these releases and and just the the inter collector
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: and me decided to pull the trigger on trying to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: nap up some of these Arrow box sets. But gorgeous,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: just as a whole gorgeous. As with their other releases,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: they have the reversible slip cover art, which is awesome.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: There's a booklet in here.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I love the cohesiveness of the art to.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: The yeah yeah, Zombie Yeah, And you know, in in
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: recent years it's just been so cool. Luccio Fulci, I've
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: said this before. He's one of my favorite directors, so
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: to see these releases getting such like premium like four
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: K restorations, the amount of like detail and love that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: are put into each one of his films. We got
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: Murder Rock recently as well, so I'm waiting for that.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I so just a quick synopsis on the movie.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: So basically, family relocates from New York City to an
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: aging home in rural New England. There's an evil force
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: which lurks in the basement, which has already claimed the
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: previous occupant now has a site set on the new owners.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: So this unsuspecting family will become only too familiar with
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: the dark secret of the monstrous doctor freud Stein. And
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: as with all of Lucio Foulci's films, it's more atmosphere,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: very very nightmarish, fringe stream logic when it comes to
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: what's exactly going on in each one of his films,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: or at least at least the gates of hell trology.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: And to get it in four K, I never in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: a million years thought that I would get this movie
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: looking as as breathtaking as it does. Listen, I'll welcome
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: new Luccio Fulci all day. Every day of the week.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: I want to plug real quick, friend of the show.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: You were on with the King of Shallo.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, with Tanner.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're on with Tanner. I don't know if
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: it's a podcast or if it's just a live thing
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: that he does, but to nearly two hour long discussion
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: of you guys talking about Jallo's and there was a
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: big portion of that talking about specifically Fulci. So I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: love that. I want to make sure that I that
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: we leave that link in the in the description for everybody,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: which I guess.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely. It was more of an in depth conversation
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: that I got to have with Tanner just because it's uh,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: you know, Giallo and knowing where the I feel like
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: the line gets blurred a little bit with Italian horror
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: and Giallo and just being able to go more in
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: depth on the Ghiallow films and talk about Lucio Folci
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: and all that. It's just cool, you know, you get
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to kind of connect with someone that really
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: enjoys it. Same with you as well. I know we're
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: both very passionate about a lot of like the Italian
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: films that they have been released. But yeah, so we
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: got a four K restoration trying to see some of
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: the other notes I had on this. So there's a
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: new audio commentary on it, deleted scene. They have the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: restored international and theatrical trailers, some TV spots and then
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: some stills that are included here as well, and then
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: there's a bunch of of archival interviews that are brought
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: over on the Blu ray disc. So there's a Q
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: and a full or I mean a feature length panel,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: and then there's a lot of visual content that's included
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: as well on this release. So if you're trying to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: get into Italian horror, the Gates of Hell trilogy or
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Zombie is a great way to jump into it. And
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: this film is fucking awesome, So give it a shot.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a movie that I feel like grows
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: on you, and it's any one of his films can
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: be the gateway to discovering more about Italian horror, and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: The gateway to Hell or your love for Italian horror.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: I listen, I'm there, sign me up.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: Do great, great pick I have that as well. It's
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: a gorgeous release. I also have my pre order end
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: for Zombie.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: Yep, same here too.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: So not as exciting a final pick from me. But
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: back to Second Site Films for the final time tonight
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: she got. So let's chat about the Philip brothers talk
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: to me, which is it's awesome. This is already this
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: already has a good deluxe edition just came out in
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. Second Site did absolute wonder on this.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: Of course, it's not a not a new four K restoration.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: We already had the Studio four K which looked great.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: So there's no new restoration on this, but just nice
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: to have a thick boy treatment for a movie that
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: I think one hundred percent deserves the royal hand here.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: You know, this is the third time I've seen the movie,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: watching it on this release still as effective as it
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: was the first time we saw it. You know, the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: Philip were you familiar with their work as Rack of
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: Raca before talk to me or no?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: Briefly? Okay, I had seen it in passing. It was
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: never something that I was like actively following like that.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: But when they made the jump from they were more
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: known for YouTube yep videos, right, yeah, So making the
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: jump from that and getting into like full feature length films,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: you know, especially like you know, I think I like
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: to think that we closely watch upcoming horror movies and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: you hear the buzz behind it. I mean, this was
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: definitely a movie that was talked about before it was released,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: and I thought they delivered. Yeah, two for two so far.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: I remember because you know, the rack of Raka content
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: was very chaotic, and I'll never forget the opening shot
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: of this movie. The opening five minutes is an incredibly
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: complex winner of going through this party and it's you know,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: it was one of those things where I was like,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: holy shit, we're in it, Like these guys are legit.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: That's a tough jump from YouTuber whether you're making short
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: films or whatever you're doing, to actual filmmaker, like having
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: a team, a script doing this thing. And you know,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: this was a film written by one of the Philip
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: Who brothers, and they just blew it out of the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: water Man. It's a movie that's incredibly authentic to Australian
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: party culture as well and kind of Australian youth at
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: that time. And it's a movie that second and third
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: viewing really stood out to me. Its notes on addiction
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: and social media influence. For those people who've never seen
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: Talk to me. It is essentially we follow a couple
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: characters who get wrapped up in what is essentially an
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: embombed hand, but well half an arm hand and it
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: was of a I forget what they describe her as.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: Was she a like a medium or something? There was
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: something to her or to the hand.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: I gotta do a rewatch. Yeah who is Yeah, because
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: it's a little it's uh, spend some time since I've
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: seen it, but now now that this box set's out,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: to watch.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: It and at parties they essentially strap you down. You
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: hold the hand and you say, talk to me and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: present it in front of you as a spirit. And
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: to further that, you say, I let you in, and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: the spirit possesses you and you can only they only
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: let you do it for ninety seconds or the spirit
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: wants to remain and kind of becomes an addiction. Like
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: you have these teenagers who are addicted to doing this,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: and they're posting on social media and they're it's really
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: kind of it's kind of scary to see this crede,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: especially in a world of you know, dares and all
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: kinds of crazy shit that we see on TikTok, you know,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: and it goes too far and one of our main
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: characters is possessed, and it gets really not possessed in
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: the traditional sense, but it gets really wild. And this
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: movie is not afraid to go for the juggler, and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: it does it every single time. Man, this the first
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: watch of this movie is incredibly shocking. Even the second
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: and third time, Man, I was just as put it
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: back by some of the stuff in this movie. You
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, what was that movie?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: What you were expecting?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, no, not at all.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: It's it's interesting, man, because I'm not a like a
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: ghost possession movie fan. Typically, I feel like, you know,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: there's a time the movies that did it really well,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: and nobody since has really been able to put a
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: unique spin on it. And I was watching this with
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: my wife when when the second Site one came out
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: and I was like, there, you know, there's so much
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: here that's borrowed from the genre as a whole, but
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: what a fucking original spin on it? Like this could
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: only come from somebody who is tapped in to this generation,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: you know, and they're a little younger than us rack
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: A Raca, they're like late twenties. But it's such a
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: great like you don't need something that's wholly original. I'm
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: not when I when I, when I go into movies,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not asking for like, show me something I've never
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: seen before, but put enough spin on it that it
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: makes it new. And that's what talk to Me does,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: and it it just makes it incredibly unique. And in
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: the booklet that's supplied here, it's one hundred and sixteen
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: page booklet, this is a movie that you can really
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: like dissect into heavily. And one of the articles taps
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: into alcoholism and addiction and how this how the character
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: or Mia, the main character in this movie, how she
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: literally is hitting all these points of addiction, and how
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: the other characters that are also participating in this game
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: are hitting all of these points of addiction, whether it's
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: for fitting in, whether it's for acceptance, you know, and
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: then they are one of the One of the write
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: ups also kind of talks about the the oh no,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: it's not. The write up Kat Ellinger, who is an
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: incredible writer. She's typically found a lot of visual essays.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: She has a fantastic visual essay on this called Contagion,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: and she talks about how well this movie links like
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: all the social media challenges and stuff, the current trend
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: of social media. But that event that happens when you know,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: something crazy can happen in front of you, but the
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: moment you start recording, it separates you. The phone puts you,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: you know, it separates you and allows you to kind
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: of experience that event differently. And that's why we see
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: this weird attachment of people, you know, recording events you know,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: of peril or whatever, of tragedy, but not getting involved
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: in helping because they put up this barrier, which is
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: the phone.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: And it's really strange when you think about it that way.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, they put up that barrier and it kind
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: of puts up, you know, a fence in between them.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: It doesn't it lessens the realism of it. But then
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: they also get the serotonin hit of the likes and
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: the views and the attention. And so there's a lot
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: that's broken down in this, you know set from Second
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: Sight Films also too, there is an hour long interview
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: with the Philippoo brothers and I may be saying, PHILIPO,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: I think it's Philipo something Philip Philipo. Philip I realized
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: that time I said Philip who.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: Didn't mean to so Chris, I'll hold that against you.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: Uh but uh, there is an hour long interview with
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: them that was newly filmed where you could just feel
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: the passion from them, man, like it's it's almost infectious.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: They were they were talking about the experience of taking
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: it to a festival when the word of mouth really
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: got started, and I was smiling at how how just
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: enthusiastic and how happy they were that this worked. There's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: another great interview with the producer that was the same way.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: But my favorite on here is a little segment called
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: Beautifully Grotesque. It's a new interview with the cinematographer Aaron mcliskey,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: and that's my passion cinematography, the visual and man, this
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: guy just made me fall in love with him as
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: a cinematographer. He was talking about breaking down scenes and
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: talk about the waters and the coloring and his his
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: coordination with the Philippe brothers and the the energy all around.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: This release was actually kind of infectious and made me
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: like the movie more.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: Honestly, that's incredible.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: So this is uh, this is still available. You can
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: get this in the movie room. You can get this
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: a diabolic, you can still get this an orbit. You
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: know if you already have the four K and booklets
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: or bonus features aren't important to you. I understand that,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: but just know you're wrong and that you should up.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: Fast fired. Listen, you know what plant the flag man?
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, right, yeah, but yeah, incredible release. Man, I
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: was so excited to dive into that. Dude, I jumped
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: into it right away, which was which is kind of
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: rare for me.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I can't help but wonder if at some point
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: they'll do Bring Her Back.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen that yet.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: It's it's a nice companion piece to talk to me.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: I think the two obviously very very different types of story,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: but man, I would kill for a nice four K
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: through second sight once that movie is released, or at
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: least like after some time has passed.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: I heard, it's pretty amazing to have your future film
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: be as well like this Talk to Me was and
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: as good as it was. And I heard Bring Her
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: Back shows an incredible like maturity yes in them, and
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: like they they always bring and I haven't even seen
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: Bring Her Back, but they always bring a unique perspective
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: on what they do, and it's so it's like its
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: own genre, like bring Her Back. When I when I
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: saw the trailer. I was like, this looks like nothing
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: I've ever I bro, I'll be honest with you. I've
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: read synopsies, I've read reviews, I've seen every trailer they
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: put out. I have no idea what that movie is about.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: Oh it's You're in for a Ride. So I can't
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: wait to see I think you, out of all people
• 1:16:59

• 1:17:04
