After Hours - April 2025 (Grindhouse Releasing, Celluloid Dreams, and More!) · Beyond The Blood: A Horror Movie Commentary Podcast

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So The Shrouds is playing right now at my local.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I believe it's cinemak. I think I've heard some good things.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things where I just didn't really
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: feel like that they advertised that much.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: To be honest, I didn't even know it was coming out.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It just like I think I saw. I think my
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: brother posted that he was seeing it, and I was like, oh,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that's out. So even Crime I remember doing Crimes in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Future didn't even get that much attention when it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: came out.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Well, that one, I felt like there was a little
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: bit more hype behind it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: This one.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I just remember seeing the announcement, the trailer and I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: guess it's out.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's I mean, it probably just didn't
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have that marketing money behind it, you know what I mean.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I just don't know. I wonder.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I feel like for us, you know, I feel like,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: if you're like really into horror like that, then you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: have a greater appreciation for David Cronenberg. But for somebody
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that's maybe like more of your casual viewer, is that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: gonna be something that's really gonna get them in, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the theater to go see that movie.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's, you know, kind of a little
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: more of a niche thing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think. I don't think your normal theater
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: goer is gonna is gonna go see that. I mean, honestly, though,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you might have a little bit of that appeal, because
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: even the true it doesn't look like a Kronenberg movie.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Like the post, no, the poster, none of that stuff
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is marketed like a Kronenberg movie. But Kronenberg I think.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I think Kronenberg kind of towes that line between sorry,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's my dog. He toes that line between the horror
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fans and the non horror fans very well.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You know, even a History of Violence or Eastern Promises.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, those are pretty far out compared to the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: rest of his filmography, and those are some of my
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: favorite movies that he's done, or at least up there
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in his philmography.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, History of Violence is my favorite movie by him.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: It's so good.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: History of Violence is great. I think The Fly is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: probably second. I don't you know. I like Eastern Promises.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It's not one that gets like frequent rewatches from me
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: very often. I mean, the audience is probably gonna hate this,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm not a big fan of Crimes of the Future.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: The most recent one.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was fine with seeing it the one time
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: in theater. I don't know if it's something that I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: feel like I really need to go out of my
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: way for. I can appreciate it for what it is,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: but you know, if anything, I'd probably find myself going
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: back to some of his older films more frequently than not.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I always find myself like there are
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: certain movies that get into the popular zeit geist that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I I watch and I enjoy, but I never go
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: back to, like I might own it on physical So
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like right off hand, I think of like Crimes of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the Future, Blade Runner twenty forty nine, even both Dune films,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like I'm great that first time. I think it's a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: great experience, and then it just I never put it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on again.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can have the appreciation for them
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and not necessarily feel like the need to come back
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and rewatch it, because I feel like it's like that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: initial viewing is like a whole experience in itself.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned like Dune.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I mean you're going there and it's like you're invested
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that entire runtime, you know, for both of those movies.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Same thing with Believe Ren or twenty forty nine. Any
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of those films are like more on a grand scale
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: compared to I think more of your casual watches that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you would see.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Same though with Believe It or Not mids, Like, I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: haven't watched mid Simar all the way through since I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: first so I missed it on its initial theatrical run,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but I saw it when a re release it for
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the director's cut, so I never I've never seen the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: theatrical cut. I only saw the one hundred and seventy
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: one minute re release director's cut. That's what I have
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: from A twenty four. But even as much as I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: love Hereditary, I think I've only gone back to Hereditary
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: once and I remember, like me, I mean the thing,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I love that movie, and I really loved it again
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the second time, and I think I appreciated Tony Kolet's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: performance a lot more on that second run, and I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was able to kind of like pay attention to some
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: things a lot better. I just don't. Maybe it's because
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it's like it's such a heavy watch that I'm never like, oh,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: let me throw on Hereditary on this beautiful Tuesday night.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, that's that I have to be either of
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: those movies.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You have to be in the right mood to watch them.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But one that I haven't revisited since I saw it
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in theaters was bo was afraid that was It was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: cool for what it was. Maybe I was expecting something
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit different leading up to it, but it's
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: not one that I felt like I would return to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to be honest, or go out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Of my way for.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Chuck, what were you going to say?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I was gonna just say I haven't seen either of
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: those movies.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I do. You definitely need to see them, I.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Mean, better add it to the watch list.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Oh it will. It's been on the watch list for
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: a while. But I'm still working on my backlog, starting
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: all the way back from you know, seventies and eighties.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Still still got a lot of modern stuff to watch.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He's in season thirty five of Beyond the Blood.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Watch finally watched Hereditary. All right, guys, So for this
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: episode of After Hours, I finally watched.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Her way six minutes in Welcome everyone to episode two
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of After Hours. I know I said it in the intro,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but this is our kind of casual, uh kind of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hangout time this is we don't have a movie in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: particular that we're talking about in this We just kind
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of hang out and bullshit and we're gonna be talking
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: about a couple of titles that we've picked up on
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: physical media and watched. And Yeah, there's so little stress
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: with these episodes. You know, it just like feels. I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: right now, it's pouring down right outside. It's a terrible storm.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So we're just sitting around the fire, you know, bullshitting
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: right now, but trying to trying to trying to set
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the move.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is always fun because I feel like we
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: can be a little bit more casual about stuff, not
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: as in depth. We can just kind of have casual conversation,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: catch up on some movies that we've watched recently, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of bound them off each other.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I do want to I do want to say for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: kind of like an insight that people listening to, kind
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of an insight to the podcasting world. One thing that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm most proud of with this show is obviously like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the more we do it, the more comfortable we get.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And on our latest episode with pet Cemetery two, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: didn't feel an ounce of stress or like anxiety going
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: into that episode, and I feel like you can hear
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that from all of us, you know. I feel like
• 7:26

  Speaker 1: we did this episode a month ago. We did the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: first episode a month ago. Massive, like big releases that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like we pre ordered months ago have showed up.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: There are big things coming out that we probably like,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it on the show, but in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the physical media community have finally arrived. Grindhouse releasing their
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: release of The Beyond has finally started landing for people.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The deluxe four K release of that, which was highly
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: anticipated teas for years by Grindhouse. That's an understatement, Yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I mean like teas forever, so that finally came out.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Ignite Films there were their four K release of Reanimator,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: which has been very looked forward to, has finally started landing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Big stuff coming out, man, I know, I just got
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: my copies of Jason X and Jason Goes to Hell
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: on four K from Aero Video, which that felt like
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like I got Friday the thirteenth nine on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: four K and then I blinked and these were here.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You know, it felt very quick.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Can I just say the pictures I've seen of them,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: all three of them together, there's something so satisfying about
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: all three of those covers.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the work on those are awesome.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm hoping for Here's like my kind
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of wish Obviously, I want Freddy versus Jason. I think
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: if Erra's gonna do that, it's gonna be an October thing,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: so they're probably not even teasing that yet. I want
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: them to do textas chance to ask for three.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Oh please please give me that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Whole run, Like, give me that weird prequel sequel run
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of three The Beginning and Texas Chancell three D. I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: not really concerned with more so remake O three and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The Beginning are like my wish list.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I would back that up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's I feel like that those early two thousand horror
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: titles are just so needed, especially right now.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: You know, if we could get that cap'n Fever Hostile
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: one and two.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: That's coming probably know, I just I need more? Yeah yeah, Chuck,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: If Arrow could put out anything that they haven't already,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Let's let's take anything that that has not had a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: physical upgrade like a four K release. What what would
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you want it to be in? Like a nice treatment
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: from Arrow.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: That's a tough one. Kind of throw me on the
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: spot there. Now I'm trying to think back to like,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: you know, ship, I really I can't think of anything
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: For some reason. When I said that, I was like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, please don't say like prom night remember
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the what was that? Six? Did they do that? That nine?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The problem? But Brittany Snow right, I think that was Brittany.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Snow Yeah, I don't think I've seen that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Brittany Snow.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she was in that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I would actually like to get tell
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: me if you guys know this one, mister Brooks, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: ever seen it with Kevin Costner?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, I know what you're talking about, but I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: don't think I've ever seen that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he plays a sadistic serial killer and very good.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: There's a good supporting role in there from somebody that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm stuck on right now that I'm going to go
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on here and look up real mister Brooks. It's a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's a very unconventional role for Costner. He does a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: good job in it. Oh, Demi Moore is in it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, William Hurt and Dane Cook That's what
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about. Okay, Yeah, Dane Cook is in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it as well, very good psychological serial killer film. It's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a little long. I think it was trying to be
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit more prestige. This was two thousand and seven.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: It was trying to do the like, you know, the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the higher class, like, oh, let's make a prestigious slasher
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that still has all slasher elements. But that's one that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I would like to get a good a good release.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Four Yeah, I don't know. I mean give that whole
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: catalog to Arrow, like anything from that. Like I would
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: have loved a House of Wax. I know we got
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: it from Screen Factory, but I would have loved that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I would have loved House on Haunted Hill the way
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of Malone film. I would have loved thirteen Ghosts.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't not think of that. That's one of
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: my favorite, like early two thousands movies.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four K be hard.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: If you're talking Arrow, I would love I know it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: not of the same decade, but I would love to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: see a bay of blood since they already did blood
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and black lace on four K.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, did correct me if I'm wrong? Did they
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: have blood? Get an original Arrow? Remember when it used
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to do like the window slips? Did they do that?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like, I know they did a couple
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Daria or Jetto films like that, they did City of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Dead like that, I know they did Zombie. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: think that way as well, which makes sense because now
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we're getting Zombie on on four K from Arrow.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Just to order that. I'm excited for it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very happy that they went with the Zombie
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: flesh Eaters title on the on the on the box.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't wait for that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very happy about that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: So what about Manhunter?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That one needs? Uh? We need an update? I've actually
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: never seen Manhunter though.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Man, that's Michael Mann right, add that cheerless?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I have to, I think because I wanted to watch
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it on physical and I can never get my hands
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: on that screen factory one.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: It goes for crazy money, now, doesn't it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like stupid out of print.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah those any any more Mario Baba titles I would
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: fully embrace if Arrow is choosing to put those out
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: and then and if it's something like unrelated to that,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: then Manhunter would be like the top of my list,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: whether it's Arrow, because I know that they would do
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: such a nice job with it or any other boutique label.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But it's hard to know. Man rights are all over
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the place all the time. Something looked out from Screen
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Factory and then you know, before you know it, the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: four K is coming out from Arrow, and then it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: coming out from this company. It's kind of like, I know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know, Ignite Films is a great company. They did
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Invaders from Mars, they did The True Story of G I. Joe.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Those were their first two releases as a label. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: then when they announced reanim re Animator, I was like,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: holy hell, like talk about the grab of the decade,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, yeah, like, because I'm
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: sure most companies were were trying to get their hands
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on that they knew would be huge. The Arrow the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Deluxe edition was long out of print. Uh you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you had the standard the standard era, but the standard
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Errow release didn't not contained the integral version, which only
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: came with the Docs edition and is now on this
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: four K release, So people wanted that, you know what
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you know.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: What it reminds me of is when Vinegar Syndrome got
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Texas Chainsaw Massacre two and just how big of a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: win that was for them at the time. This kind
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: of I feel like that they kind of like mirrors
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: that situation a little bit per Ignite, So good for them.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: That's that's a big get.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And you know we when I think of Vinegar Syndrome,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I know them as they've always been the same size
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: label to me. Like when they announced Texas Chains Some
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Mascar Too, I was shocked at the size of the title,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: but I also wasn't being a Vinegar Syndrome fan. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: feel like Texas Change Some Oscar two brought in a
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: whole new era of fans for them. Mm hm, you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, because people just wanted that and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that release, Like I ordered it day one. Big fan
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of sex change to mask or two, So I ordered
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it day one and I remember how quickly that went,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like out of print. That was so fast.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I was so glad that I got.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I snagged a copy of that great as soon as
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: that was getting released, I was like, there's no way
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I'm passing this up.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it looked great, man, like the documentary that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: was on it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: There was so much good.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Stuff on that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: So I have to ask you, guys, with Ignite getting Reanimator,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: do you think that there's any likelihood that they get
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: brid of Reanimator at some point.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I hope so, because I would like to add that
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: to my collection same.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I would pretty much guarantee it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, would be so cool.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anybody's pining for a.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: For a.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: A beyond Reanimator upgrade.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: But no, no, no, I'm okay if you are.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, dude, you can't. I mean, both
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of them, both Reanimator and brought a Reanimator, They're they're first.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I would I would bet pretty confidently that Ignite Films
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: has Bridery Animator. I would say, good bet.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Well if that's the case, I mean, that's like a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: one two punch with the titles that you could pick up.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. So, in tradition of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the after Hour show, each of us are going to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: be talking about three titles that we picked up this
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be from this month, but three
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: recent things that we've picked up that we've watched on
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: physical media of course, we want to support physical media.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And then we actually have a bonus one that we're
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be talking about all three of us together, we're
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: gonna save until the end. But who wants to uh,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: who wants to kick us off.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Sure, I'll go firstly for you guys.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: One, he's gonna talk about the one movie no I've
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: never seen, not to kick on.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, So my first pick is going to be Pulse
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: from two thousand and one, directed by Kiyoshi Kirosawa. Sorry
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: if I butchered that. Yeah, that movie's a very unsettling,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: very dark topics with you know, depression, loneliness, suicide. Very
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: famous for one scene. I'm sure I know Christ you
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: said you didn't see it, but there's one scene you
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: may have seen, maybe you scrolling through Instagram of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: ghost lady like contorting her body as she's like slowly
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: walking down this hallway towards a guy.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think that was in the top I think
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: like twelve years ago, that was in like the top
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred scariest movie moments on A and E.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I believe.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: So that's so creepy.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, chills. The first time I actually like watched
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: it because I didn't realize it was from this movie.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: But I've seen that clip so many times. But when
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it popped up, like seeing it ough goosebumps.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: What what release did you get? Was that Umbrella.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Oh it was the Umbrella least that just came out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I think was it the end of last year beginning
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: of this year?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Them, it's hard to tell.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Did you get the box set?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah? The box set? I'm so mad I book you
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: didn't get it.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Now I know it's okay.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sure after hearing how great the releases, it'll inspire
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: me to get it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I believe. Was that the same director that did Ring You.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Question different he did Cure?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Oh? Oh that's the director of Yeah, because I've been
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: wanting to pick up Cure. I never knew what Cure was.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I I had the Criterion in my hands so many times,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: but I just never picked it up. And then I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: was I was watching somebody talking about it and they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: were pretty much like was Elliott on Elliott Cohen on YouTube.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It was one of my favorite guys to watch on there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And he was talking about because I think Eureka put
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: out Cure on four k yep, and he was talking
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: about how great that movie was.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: It's like, I'd probably put that up there like the
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: top ten.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, so he did Cure before he did Pulse.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Cure. I can't recommend that movie. Enough. It
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: is really good too. They're both really really good movies.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: What did you guys think? Do you guys have any
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: memory of the Pulse remake?
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Never seen it?
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I haven't either.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think I have. I think I I think I have.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I just remember the cover, the DVD cover, and I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: think there was Dimension that put that out. I think
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing the Dimension logo in the corner of it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Wes Craven wrote the screenplay for it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: For the remake.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, all right.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to read into that, like
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that booklet or any of.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: The extras in that Unfortunately not yet, but I will
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: be getting around to it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: You knew I was at the booklet.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I knew it. I'm letting you down, Chris. I'm sorry.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: The Internet. The Internet commented on one of my reels
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and called me the bearded booklet guy.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I did see. That made me laugh at laugh.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Chris, it's going sick, the bearded booklet guy. Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Well, then I made a then like a day later,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I made a whole video about two booklets because I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: read the booklet. It's not a booklet, it's a fucking book.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: But I read the book that came with the second
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Sight on the Dead and the second site Blair Witch Project.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So I was talking about those on my Instagram and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, thanks to the comments
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: section for the Bearded booklet, guy post nice pickup. I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: need to check that out.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I need to get definitely recommend it. Well, make sure
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: you're in a good mood going into it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Was Was it what you were expecting?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: It was not.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I really didn't look into what the movie was about
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: before I bought it. Kind of was just like a
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: blind buy for me, and I couldn't turn it down
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: because you know, the box I just looked gorgeous, and
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you know, I was at the time, I was getting
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: quite a few other Japanese horror titles, so I was like,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: why not get Pulse and what.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Else did you get around that time?
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Around that time, I think I got the j Horrorrizon
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: box set that Arrow put out, as well as Audition,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: and I think it's called Dark Waters, which was another
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: release that Arrow did.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, another ghost Story.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So I got those and picked up Pulse all
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: in the same month. But yeah, dude, I really enjoyed it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Damn Chuck crazy, yeah, crazy story about like spirits basically
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: cursing people through the Internet, and you know, and this
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: is when the Internet was starting to get big, you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: like two thousand and one. So it was a nice,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: nice little time capsule piece. In my opinion, I think the.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Poster for the remake of Poles had cell phone if
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly, The main poster was like a cell
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: phone with a hand I don't know, I had something
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to do with a like it was like an old Nokia. Yeah,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: something like that. Dude, nice nice get man.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Highly recommended to check it out.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Nice get Steve, what do you what do you? I
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: know you did not tell us what your three were
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be beforehand.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: So so I'll start off. I picked up.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Sorority House Massacre, so the four K released from screen Pactory,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: directed by Carol Frank So she was actually assistant to
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Amy Holden Jones. I'm Slumber Primee Massacre, and I feel
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: like that these these films, like these film series kind
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: of have kind of similar vibe between that and Sorority House,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I mean sorty House Massacre and slumber Pride Massacre.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I also think of like House on Sorority Row.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, So all roughly around the same time. But
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I felt like this this movie, I hadn't seen it
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: in a really long time, but four K transfer was excellent.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Felt like it brought up elements of like psychological horror
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: that was infused with like trauma. And what I thought
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: was interesting about it is it's from the female perspective,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So at the time, I felt like you didn't really
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: see that as often, like you know, that was that
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: was becoming more prominent, I felt like in slashing movies
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: at the time. But overall, it's just just a really
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: great watch. Like I just I was having a blast
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: watching it and seeing it in this format.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Who that was? Screen factory?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Put that out screen factory yep.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, any good like bonus features anything in there.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't have as much time to dive into that
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: just kind of was just trying to be like like
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: try to do as much as.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Of a deep dive as far as like on the film.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just I felt like what stood out about
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: it at least like me, you know, doing a little
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: bit more research on it was obviously directed by like
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: a female director, which is awesome.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: A lot of focus on the psychological.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Aspect, And it's really cool because throughout this film it
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: has like a very dreamlike atmosphere to it, even with
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: it being low budget, they really capture that aesthetic throughout
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the entire film. So dealing with like a lot of
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: like you know, for the female protagonists, a lot of
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: repressed trauma and memories. It's just a reoccurring theme throughout
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the entire film.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: So if you if you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Guys like those like low budget slashers, this one it's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: definitely worth checking out for sure.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one I never that's one I've never seen before,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: but I saw that announcement and yeah, that's one. I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: feel like I remember that poster the siloett through the Blinds.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like I remember that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: It feels like a riff body double the movie poster
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: for that film.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Oh you're right, Yeah, Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: That's a good one, man. And that was one that
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: did that have did screen for Factory put that out previously.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I'm blu ray yep, Okay, they did. Okay, so it
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: was one of their upgrades. Okay, okay, sweeze.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping in the future that they end up doing
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Sorority House Massacre two and what was the Hard to
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Die was the other one?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I do even know that was a trilogy.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Yep, damn.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: That's like I remember learning that there was like nine
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Howling movies and I was like, what the hell?
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Oh we could we could save a whole episode for that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Well, my first pick is one that I feel like
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pretty alone on. So we're talking about
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, She Killed in Ecstasy. This was put out
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: by Severin. It's an older Severn Blu ray, but this
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was directed by Jess Franco. If you know of Jess Franco,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: then you know kind of what I'm getting into with
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: this one. But I feel like, in a way with
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: this one, I'm not going to teut myself as a
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Jess Franco expert. I've seen a lot of his movies
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and he's a director that I greatly appreciate, but I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: rarely say, like, I rarely kind of consider his movies good. This,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: in my journey of his filmography, is one that I
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: actually say is a great movie because Jess Franco is
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: very excessive, and a lot of these excesses here are
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: pulled back in some weird way, and I think it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: because behind the camera he was working with a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: more talent, so this was early seventies for him. He
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: actually shot this pretty much back to back with Vampire's Lesbos,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: which is his most notorious film. Actually, the Criterion cover
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: for A Nora is an exact kind of replica of
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: one of the posters for Vampire's Lesbos. Sean Baker is
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a huge Jeff Franco fan, so I would say, yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that's like one of his biggest cult titles. But she
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: called an Ecstasy is really cool. So it tells the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: story of a woman. Her name is we just know
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: her as Missus Johnson. She gets married to this doctor
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: who is working on this experiment where he can pretty
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: much like he can increase the longevity.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: He's working on this very very forbidden experiment, and when
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he gets on a review panel, these judges pretty much
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: tell him what he's doing is wrong, it's unethical, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: they revoke his medical license and therefore ending his study.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And he takes his own life because of that and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: his recently married wife, Missus Johnson, who great performance by
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the way by Solidad Miranda she in In in the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Trauma I hate to use that word, but in the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: wake of his death, she decides to get revenge on
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the doctors. She wants to kill them. So she goes
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: out and kind of tracks these doctors down by one
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: by one and uses her ability as a woman to
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: kind of coax in and use like her prowess to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: pull them in. And then when she does get them in,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: she she murders them. She gets revenge, okay, and in
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Jess Franco fashion, not all of these doctors are men.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: One thing that's very big in Jess Franco's fomography is lesbian.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: There's always some sort of lesbian scene and a Just
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Franco movie always always but yeah, so she basically goes
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: like doctor to doctor and coaxes them in and when
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: she gets the opportunity, she kills them. And what's really
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: great about this movie is it feels so much more
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: put together than any other Franco film, Like it genuinely
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: feels like he has like an interesting plot here, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the movie moves so well, and there's like these very
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: dream like sequences that we cut back to where it'll
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: be like a close up on her eyes on the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: cover ar here she's sitting in sort of like this.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: She has her knees up and it's pulled very close
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and she's just sitting on the couch and you know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: kind of suffering from this loss. And we keep cutting
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: back to this into certain moments, and it's just a
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: really interesting piece of his history. And like I said,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the crew he had the same crew from Vampires Lesbo.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So this movie is be You beautiful, Like every frame
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: is stunning.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Now, do you feel like this is one of just
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Franco's more accessible films or like a good starting point
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: if maybe you're unfamiliar with, like you know, his his films.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're still gonna get a taste. You're gonna
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: get a really good taste of what he's into, which
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is there's a lot of interviews with Franco and with
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: people who work with Franco who screamed to the to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the roof how wonderful this guy was to work with.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And he had a very dedicated group of actors that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he worked with, even though the content they were naked
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and they were in these situations, you know, but he
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: he did work with a set number of them multiple
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: times and they they love working with him, and he
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: was very visual, so he had a very unique way
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: of shooting these scenes that never I wouldn't say never,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: but like it rarely crossed the territory to being trashy
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: or exploitative. So it's it's it's interesting, you know. So
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I do think this is a good, a good starting point.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Just understand that from here there are movies that are
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: more of that, and then there are also some of
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: his movies that are less of this. Okay, so it's
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: kind of a good, a good middle point.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It's like eighty two minutes long. It's not long time. Yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it's not long at all. Like you can get in
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and out of it. There's a really good on this.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Severn releases a really good interview with Jess Franco where
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: he kind of talks about, uh, the back to back
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: shooting of this in Vampires Lisbos. And this was pretty
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: early on in the two hundred and four movies he
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: would eventually go on to direct. This was less than
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: twenty years after his starting point, so this was pretty
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: early on, and from this point he certainly made worse
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: a lot worse films, you know what I mean.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: It's quite the resume.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I always think of I think of Jess Franco and
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Joe Tomatto in like the same vein, because Joe Tomato
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: kind of like Joe Tomato shot under multiple names in
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: his career. Joe Tomato. Also, I don't think this happened
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to just Franco, but Joe Tomatto was he loved his excess,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and later in his career he started doing adult films
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: as a way to just be behind the camera because
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it made money and he just wanted to shoot movies.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: And I don't think just Franco ever got to that point,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: but they were both a lover of the excess. So
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: definitely check those out. I think that's a good, uh,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: a good starting point.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I'll do you have, Chuck me?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you watch? Why do you
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: watch Hereditary? First man?
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: And then okay, I got.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: All right, Chuck. What else you got going on? Man?
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: So for the next release, I'm going to talk about
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Grindhouse Releas's release of A Cat in the Brain.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Dude, it's like Ogie month man. Everybody's talking about Fulci.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean I just got it in with the
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: other movie where we'll be talking about later on. Kind
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: of bundled it together. But yeah Branton directed by Luccio Fulci,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: also starring Fulci playing Fulci for the most.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Part, as he well, he's in The Cat and the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Brain a lot more than in some of his other movies.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's very funny.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: But uh yeah, I think this. I looked this up
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: at This was like his send off, like his last
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: movie that he directed, and is it dude?
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I like forgot that guy's Like, I feel
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: like he's still out there directing, you know.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so what it just came out in nineteen ninety, Yeah,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety, but dude, Yeah, I've been watching a
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: lot of weird movies and this movie takes the cake.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: This thing is insane.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Grindhouse always, when I first started collecting Grindhouse releasing, they
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: would always kind of bundle Cat in the Brain and
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I Drink Your Blood Together as like their two like
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: acid trip movies. And when I finally saw Cat and
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a Brain, I just remember being like.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: What the fuck is this?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: So many decapitations in that film, Yeah, so much going on.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: One of them being what was that the like the
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: closed chest where the closed trunk at the bottom of
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: the bed, like she gets her head just chopped off
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: from it shutting on her. It's like, yeah, dude makes
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: it look.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So easy and as super funky soundtrack too.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure. I will say that orgy scene
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: was very odd, especially when it kept cutting back to
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: like a close up of Faulgy going yes, film it,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: film it, dude, all right?
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Whoa Yeah?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean see if you're a massive fulm what
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: do you think of Katina Brain?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: It's it's I mean, for his later works, it's an
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: experience for sure.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I mean I could, I could piggyback off of kind
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: of the acid trip vibes off that film. But that's
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: one that I feel like I don't get to revisit
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: as much as I probably should.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one that I actually kind of unfortunately forget
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: about mm hmmm a lot for some reason. But Grindhouse
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Releasing did a great job, and I do love while
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I love what they're doing now with the deluxe editions,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I do love their traditional Amma ray case. Did that
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: kat and Brain come with the soundtrack as well?
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: It cool? Yeah, super cool release.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy you watch that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually just watched that last night.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Oh you had a fun nightment, Oh, I had a
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: great night for especially for you and anybody watching. I
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: would definitely check out the foul Chief for Fake documentary,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: beautiful documentary about his about his life and his filmography
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Is that in the Beyond release.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It's in one of there's two documentaries about Fulgi. Okay,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: there's Fulci for Fake and then there's Folty Talks, which
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Fulci Talks is on the Severn release of I Believe
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the Psychic.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I think you mentioned that last time, yes
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: on the four K.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Yeah. To go back and look, it's like
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: an eighty minute documentary which I haven't had a chance
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to watch yet.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: He did such a wide array of films, like if
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you really go back and look at like his filmography
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: and a whole I mean it just I think for
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: like a lot of us, it's it's like we focus
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: more on obviously like The Gates of Hell Trilogy, Zombie,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you know, New York Ripper, But there's a lot of
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: other films that even for myself, it's like I should
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: probably give some of his like Western and Work more
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: love or at least give it a watch.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting with him because he was very
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: into before, like the Gates of Hell trilogy. Before he
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: got in all of that, like really big in the horror,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he was doing a lot of comedies and stuff, so
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: he was a big fan of structured storytelling HM. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it was the Gates of Hell trilogy and some various
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: other movies where he kind of learned how visual horror
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: is and how you don't really need to attach everything
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and tie it up in a perfect bowt in that
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: it's much scarier to have disconnecting points and crazy through lines,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and it's very nightmarish where you know, when you have
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a nightmare, there's no resolutions to the nightmare. You know,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like you wake up and
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, good thing, we made it out
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of that alive, or that made perfect sense. So him
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: getting into horror, he really learned that, and I think
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that's something that you see heavily in the Gates of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Hell trilogy and New York Ripper. This psychic I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: is him channeling back to his previous style of cohesive storyline,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: a very straight plot, but most of his horror stuff
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: he just sort of completely abandoned that. MM hmmm, so good,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: pick Man. I'm glad you watch that, very good pick.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. I'll be watching it again soon because
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I yeah, I definitely need to relive that again.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Did you drop an edible before it?
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: No, but I'll be doing that next time.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like I would love to see Manhattan Baby
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: get the four K treatment at some point down the line.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: That's another one that I just don't hear get talked
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about all that much.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I have the Blown a Ground blue ray of that,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: and then one never got an upgrade. I wonder I
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: wonder if if old uh, oh my gosh, I had
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a blank what's his name? That owns Blown a Ground?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: William Pick still has the phil Lustig still has the
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: rights to it to do a nice four K.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: What about Enigma?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually it's been a long time since I've
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: seen Enigma. I have it. Severn put that out, but
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I don't actually remember anything from that. I gotta watch
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: that again.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Those two I wouldn't mind seeing, uh get the boutique
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: treatment get upgraded.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, please.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: See what's your second mystery?
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Pick? I'm like nervous, Okay, don't Steve, Steve didn't tell
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: us Prior to this, we all told each other our picks,
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: but this time Steve kept everything a secret from us.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: This is a new side of me.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Is getting comfortable with.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of sandwich this.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: So I went back, and I've been been revisiting a
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: lot of this director's films more recently, but I had
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: to pull Reservoir Dogs as one of my picks. I'm
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: trying to get a little variety with the movies that
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I'm choosing. Yeah, man, I'll tell you what this was
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: going back and looking looking at this film, like this
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: was so a pivotal movie that I saw at such
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: an important time in my life. When I realized just
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: how like you could really dive into like there. It
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: just opened up the door to like so many different
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: movies for me at the time. And yeah, I just
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: I never like take for granted just how impactful this
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: movie was when I first saw it, But I just remember,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: like a group of friends of mine rented it. We
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: were down in a friend's basement. We're all watching this,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm just watching it and just like my mind
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: is just being blown with Like you know, it's a
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: very unconventional storytelling that takes place with the film, and
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: it's just leaving you guessing. You're trying to figure out
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: like exactly, like who's going to figure out what throughout
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: the entire film. That was my first taste of Quentin
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Tarantino and just really solidified that is as one of
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: my favorite directors to follow, like anything he put out
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: going full And obviously I discovered pulp fiction as a
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: result after that.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: But I always come back to this, did you.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Did you see that before or after True Romance?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I saw Reservoir Dogs was the first Tarantino film that
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I saw, and then naturally I ended up discovering True
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Romance as a result of it, you know, like a
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: couple of my friends had put me onto it.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just asking because I remember seeing True Romance
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: before I did Reservoir Dogs. Oh no, okay, only because
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: like when I started getting into Tarantino. Obviously I knew
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: pulp fiction that came out when I was like seven yep,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: so to be old enough to understand it. I remember
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: watching Reservoir Doll or True Romance first. I saw it
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: on broadcast like tbskay, heavily heavily edited, but I remember thinking,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: at whatever age that was, I saw it how unique,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Like there was a certain flare to it and like
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: a certain to the dialogue that was very appealing to
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: my young reader, like mostly a reader at that time,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: like my mind, I was like, ooh, this is really nice.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: And then admittedly I saw Reservoir Dogs and I liked it.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't love it. I still don't. It's still not
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: even in like my top five Tarantino, but I respect it.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Very happily.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: It feels very edgy compared to a lot of like
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: the films that were coming out around that, like out
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: around that time. And yeah, I don't know. I always
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: go back and forth, like you know what I would
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: put in like that top three, you know, as far
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: as Tarantino films, but this one always, for me at least,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: it's always kind of consistently stayed up there. But yeah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I mean overall, I mean four K looked looked wonderful.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I had seen it one other time before, so this
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I picked this up some time ago, but revisiting it,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I just kind of wanted to highlight the importance of
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: this film and what it meant to me.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I think, like.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Some of the aspects about this film that make it
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: so captivating. Obviously, it's a very non linear storytelling. You
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: are seeing the heist like it's never actually really shown
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: like that what happens. Were instead privy to the aftermath
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: and everything that unfolds as a result of it. Dialogue
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: is sharp, you know, the moral ambiguity that you have
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: with all these characters. I mean, obviously we know that
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: they're not great people, you know, they're you know, but
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: we're we're kind of like almost like the backseat driver
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: to this heist. Essentially, they're taking us along for this ride.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: And this was kind of where the doors kind of
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: were open for me for like the stylized violence that's
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: very evident in a lot of Tarantino's films, and you know,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: almost to the point of like excess. I don't know's
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: It's just such a special movie for me, and it
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: was just cool to watch. I haven't seen it quite
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: some time, so going back and digging into all of
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: his films right now.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: It's funny that you brought that up on this episode
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: because I went back and I've started re listening to
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Eli Roth's History of Horror Okay, where he put up
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the uncut interviews that they used in the show. And
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: there's like a two and a half hour episode on
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino that I'm just about the finish, and I've
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: listened to it before, but I'm always reminded that Quentin Tarantino,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: for as original as his writing style is, he wears
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: his he wears his influences, his influence on his sleeve,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I feel like the
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: more in that you are on the kind of like
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I've always feel like there's a little bit of like
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Japanese influence in his films. With the more end that
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you are into New ar or like the classic Samurai
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: films are the more the more you understand a Tarantino film,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's kind of like
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: to me, it's kind of like misery with the ankle
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: scene that you're scene you think you see more than
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: you actually see.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, I remember, and.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it was just because it was so
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: unexpected the first time watching it. I just remember I
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: was so uncomfortable watching that, and then years later when
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: you go back to revisit, I mean, obviously it's a
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: very uncomfortable scene to sit through, but you're right, like
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: it's not really as graphic or gory as they make
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: it out. To me, it's almost leaving it up to
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: the imagination to determine how probably graphic that really would be.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: You know, if you were mister Blonde and the one
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: you know performed that on the Police.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Officer, Yeah, yeah, that was top three Tarantino for me
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: in any order would be I know, my favorite is
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Inglorious Bastards. That's my favorite film of his. And then
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Once by a Time in Hollywood, And then I feel
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: like it's a toss up between Django Unchained and Kill
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Bill Volume one.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I put Kill Bill Volume one in there, and I think,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: I know it's very cliche. I think I would have
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: to put pulp fiction in there just because this and
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: pulp fiction were just it was just that time in
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: my life when I when I first found out about them,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: so like, I have like a special place for them
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: for my love of film. So but I can understand that,
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: you know, it's obviously more of like a cultural zeitgeist,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's the pulp fiction has been. You
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people name that as like one
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: of their favorite films.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do good pick. I was not expecting that Yeah,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that was a very good pick.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Nice little surprise.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: As I go right back into the expected territory.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Now come on now.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: My second pick is from Siloid Dreams. It is a
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: short night of glass Dolls on four K. This first
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: of all, I love that Celluloid Dreams is doing these
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: hard boxes with the booklet big improvement packaging wise overcase
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: of the Bloody Iris, which I love to see. And
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: this is a I'm gonna butcher this name, so if
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: anybody knows a proper way to say them, me know.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: Auto Latto.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Is a director most notorious directed Night Train Murders, recently
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: put out by Severn And I had seen this before,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: but it was a long time ago, and the cut,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: the version I watched of it looked terrible compared to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: this beautiful four K. And to try to give a
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: sum up of this movie without really ruining too much,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: we actually follow our main character. The movie starts with
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: him being discovered in a bush and he is appearing
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: to be dead, but he's not, as we hear in
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: the narrator, which is our main character, and what proceeds
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: from there is a story about the sudden disappearance of
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend. So his girlfriend comes to visit him. She
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: disappears after a night out, and we then follow not
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: only the mist the investigation that he goes on because
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: he's a reporter, him trying to find his missing girlfriend,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: but also this prolonged, incredibly suspenseful side story of him
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: watching the post death process because they think he's dead,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: so him going into the morgue, him going into the freezer,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: being pulled from the freezer, and they there's actually some
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: brief moments where they think still alive. So to do
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: these experiments to try to figure out it's crazy. And
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I here's the thing, I don't know if I go
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: as far and Steve maybe helped me out here to
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: consider this a shallow because it carries no none of
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the familiar shallow tropes tropes. It none, this movie's almost bloodless,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: like it's.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, would okay, Chris, would you say that, I mean,
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: you've seen a number of Jalli. Do you feel like
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: this film is like it's pretty reserved compared to like
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: what we typically will watch, right, I mean, it's I
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: would say, it's pretty tame.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But I feel like obviously Jally came out of
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the rise of the Yellow Covered Mystery thriller, not right,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Jallo being yellow in Italian and the the tropes that
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: we've come to know were present in a good number
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of those books, but they were really that grew due
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: to kind of what Jallo came in film, you know
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like those tropes were what was seen,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: so those kind of became the rule. And I feel
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: like this feels directly out of the pages of a
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: yellow book. It feels like an old school, very subdued
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: mystery like mystery.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Thriller, less stylize, I feel like, compared to some of
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: like the more known ones. I mean, I think we
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: were talking about some of like Argento's and if it's
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: our gento is a great way to get into like
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: this Shiallow subgenre. But the thing is you got to
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: understand that there's a lot more substance since and I
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: mean I would say, yeah, substance, but also it's like
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: more style over substance when it comes to his works,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: and not all Shallows are like that, this being one
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: of them, I don't.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they're with shortened edded glass styles.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's a little bit more subdued compared
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: to probably, like you know, somebody's just getting into it
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: And the reason I brought that up because I actually
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: believe this is, in the traditional sense, a very strong
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: example of Jallo, because Jallo is known to be what
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: has come from Argenta, what has come from Lendzi, what
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: has come from Bava. That's the mass portrayal of Jallo.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: While this I feel like, almost by definition or original definition,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: is incredibly authentic to that. Because this movie, while not
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: hyper stylized, is beautiful, Like this movie is shot incredibly well,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: great use of shadows. There's a lot of cool visual
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: play here that comes from a very professional direction, Like
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: there is a sense of scale here, there's almost like
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit of prestige. Like this movie does have
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit of like a classy value to it,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: you know, in the settings and the production design. It
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: does feel that way. And Altolato and the booklet here
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: they talk about how he was kind of known for
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: his subdued nature of filmmaking. He didn't really go as
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: far as as somebody else did or as everybody else did,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: And this is a story about I think, down to
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: the very core, like the class separation, because we have,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: without spoiling the film, we get introduced to this upper
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: society cult like status who, for lack of of strong word,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: is pretty much feeding off of the weaker classes to
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: keep themselves alive. Essentially what's happening and as this mystery unfolds,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: this movie is really slow, So if you do not
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: have the patience, this movie is like an endurance test,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: you know. This is like it is a long ninety
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: seven minutes, Like there were multiple points where I feel
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: like sometimes my ADHD kind of took over and I
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: found myself.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: It's more of a slow burn, very but the ending, which.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to spoil it here, the final act
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: makes it all so worth it. Like this is a wild,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: wild ending and on two fronts, because there's the ending
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: to the mystery and then there's the ending to the
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: present time story of him viewing, you know, and there's
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: all this build up and lead up, and there's two
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: fantastic endings to this. So I was very shocked at
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: how much how much I enjoyed this, I want to say,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: from a physical media standpoint, there was also This was
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: released by eighty eight Films as well over in the
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: UK another fantastic label. Two different transfers Our Buddy Jordan
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: from the movie Den did a side by side comparison
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: of these two over on YouTube. I know he sided
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: with eighty eight films. It is a little bit brighter,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: but I actually like the darker kind of more contrast
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: the view here, and I feel like it is much
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: more authentic to the original. People do this thing where like,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: especially when you get into restorations and reviewing restorations, where
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: like they see the image and then they make this
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: conclusion of like, oh, this is better because of the
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: image that I see. But films are purposely shot dark
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: from a creative point of view, and I feel like
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: this movie works as a visually dark film. Therefore, I
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: loved the restoration. I think it's incredibly authentic. I felt
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: like I was watching the vision. It never felt too
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: dark or too subdued. It felt like everything worked perfectly.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Now you saw the case of the Bloody Iris.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: So comparing the two films, I mean, were there things
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: you liked about this film compared to that one, or
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: like maybe the releases in general, things that you felt
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: like stood out about A short Night of Glass Styles compared.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: To their first release, well a booklet, Yeah.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I knew it.
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: What was I thinking.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Always always the addition of a booklet.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, but this is what's really.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Cool about Slightly Dreams a the time that they put in.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I own two releases of
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: films that were put together by people who also love
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: these movies.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of love that goes into it.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Tons of love. But these are two totally different sides
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: of the of the shallow.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Case of the Bloody Iris is much more stylized, much
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: more ridiculous, much more in that like a slightly trashier
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: not very much, but it is. There is some sleeves,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: whereas Short Night of Glass doalls like it's kind of like,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: what's kind of like the like to me, Short Night
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: of Glass Dolls is very exorcist and its portrayal of like, oh,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: let's you know, let's treat this with some money. This
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: is meant to be this more prestigious approach to this genre.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Case of the Bloody Iris is kind of like Beyond
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: the Door, you know what I mean. Beyond the Door
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: is the extras rip off, but it's much sleazier. It's
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have that same kind of professionality behind it.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Both films are excellent. Both restorations are excellent. And that's
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: the thing too, you know, Sellular Dreams. Case of the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Bloody Iris was also like a radically different type of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: transfer than this, but it fit that movie so well.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Case of the.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Bloody Iris was very bright and vibrant.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: Yep, this is not.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: This is kind of desaturated, very dark. So you know,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: in in in their restoration efforts, you can see them
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: going in and really kind of figuring out what's this
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: movie is supposed to look like. Also technically, how do
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: we at what point are the highlights not blown out?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: What are the you know, so you have that great
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: technical approach as to like making it look professional and
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: making it look how it should, but it doesn't feel
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: unnatural to the film, if that makes sense.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there are restorations. I mean there's just so
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: much effort that goes into them, and especially with them
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: being like a newer label, I feel like it's just
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: so important to support, you know, labels that you know
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: they're obviously they don't they this is only their second release,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: but I know they have the Black Belly of the Trench,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: So that's coming up here, hopefully sooner than later. And
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: if the same amount of love that goes that has
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: gone into these last.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: Two releases, goes into that.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could be looking at a label that's
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: really going to be uh, you know, standing at its
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: own two feet in the near future.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man, So that's still available. You can
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: actually get that through Celluloid Dreams. I would also highly
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: recommend Case of the Bloody Iris.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: If you don't own that, looks like I'll be picking
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: up both of those films.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: You better, you better man?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, man, you bet.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: I know Chris and I were talking about, but the
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Case of the Bloody Iris, at least for me last
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: year was one of my favorite releases. So hats off
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: to Celluloid Dreams four K was phenomenal. I tell anyone
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: who's getting into Giallo or or just looking for new
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: movies to add to their collection that that that's definitely
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: up there, like one.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: That I try to tell everybody that I know.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the lights just flickered. Oh shit, I don't know, Chuck,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: would you go for your.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Chris, you're capturing the ambience.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: You're getting a little scary in here. But Chris, I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: know you like this release. My last pick is going
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: to be Second Site's release of George marrow Is nineteen
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: seventy eight classic Dawn of the Dead, which comes with
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: not one, but two books.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: It does, it does come with two books. But I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: will say, and I'm going to say it now so
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: you guys, you guys hear from me. Uh, this will
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: be on season three of Beyond the Blood. We will
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: be talking about the Dead. Make I'm going to make
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: it happen, just so you know.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: We'll do that for March episode my birthday.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: Should we record it from the actual mall that was
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: filmed at.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately that's getting bought out this year. I was going
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: to bring this up. It's getting bought out this year.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's Walmart or Target, but I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: have a feeling they're going to tear it down very soon.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: It's Walmart and Walmart and they said they had no
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: intentions of tearing it down because I think it still
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: brings in good business.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: But okay, because that was like my first thought. I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: was like when I heard Walmart was fine, I was like,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: a great piece of horror history is going to get
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: demolished to put up a Mega of Walmart. But if
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: they're not going to destroy it, then good because I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: would like to go to one of the conventions that
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: they hold there, like during the anniversary of things. Yeah.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So how was it for this this watch of it?
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's I've watched this movie like almost every other month.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: It's I love It's one of my favorite films.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: I was about to have first time watch. Yeah, actually, so, uh,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: you fooled me. No, But this has three cuts.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: It's got the theatrical cut, the extended cut, and the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: Argento cut, which I have not watched yet, but from
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: what I've heard, I think it cuts out a lot
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: of the comedic things that George threw into the film,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: kind of just to make it a little bit more dude.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: It cuts out like fifty nine minutes, So you know,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: you have the theatrical cut, which is the shortest, and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: then the extended cut is the can cut. So that
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: was the one that comer at the festival. And I
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: believe the Can cut is nineteen minutes longer than the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: theatrical and I think the original cut was like one
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty minutes wow, and our gentle cut it
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: down to like ninety ninety nine minutes I think. And
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: there's also different music and stuff. I've seen it once,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: but I just watched a can cut every time.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the last one I watched, was the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: can Cut. I still got to give the Argento cut
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: a watch, but it's awesome. I like the CDs that
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: it comes with. You got that Goblin CD.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my favorite is like the Elevator, like the what
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: do you call it music CD? It's like the music
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: that plays in the mall.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah that is it? The Yeah?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very like I call it Elevator music. There's a
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: name to it that. It's like the Library music. I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: think they call it.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, what's not to love about this movie.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite zombie films. I love everything
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: about it. And I just watched a Land of the
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: Dead recently as well. There was a nice little easter
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: egg in it with Tom Savigni basically in the same
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: get up that he was in and Dawn of the Dead,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: kind of like bringing his character back from that. But like, yeah,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: it was fun.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would definitely recommend people to read the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: so they came with the novel m and that release
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: also comes with a huge booklet called Documenting the Dead
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Dissecting the Dissecting the Dead. Yeah, there's a couple great
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: write ups in there. There's one really good one that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: focuses on the character of Francine. There's also a great
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: one near the end that talks about the distribution so
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff, with the deal with Argento for
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: it to go over, the different cuts and all that stuff.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: It's really some great, great write ups in there. One
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: thing I found is that there's so many essays that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: they do kind of cross over each other a lot.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: You get a lot of like kind of the same
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: conversation piece over and over again throughout. But there was
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: there was a handful of most most were were fantastic,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: fantastic read. So if anybody has that release, definitely read
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: that book lit.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I spent a pretty penny on this set Monster
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: Mania a few years back, and I'm just I'm just
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: gonna leave it at that.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: I bought that for my birthday from Zombie when it
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: first came out, and I think it was one hundred
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: and sixty brand new.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: I paid less than you that.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: Maybe then I paid more. I paid more fifty for
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: this which release?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Did you get the Deluxe he had.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, the deluxe one.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I know one thirty it was, there
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: was one thirty sixty six. I remember, Okay, I remember
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: because at that time I wasn't too heavy into collecting,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: and it was the most I had ever spent on
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: a release and probably still probably up in the top
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: is the most I've ever spent.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was like my first big collector's purchase. And uh,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: I was kind of bummed out because I saw it
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: sitting and I forget who the vendor was, So if
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: you're listening, I'm sorry, but it was like one of
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: the first tables that you walked past and I saw
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: it sitting there and I was getting ready to walk
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: over and I saw something you just sprint towards it,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: picking up in his hands. I was like, well, my loss.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: And then five minutes later I circled back and was
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: sitting on the table. I was like, uh, it's like
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: that guy coming back for this or like nah. I
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: was like, all right, how much you want boom cashing
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: handgates and I was like, yeah, that's it. I'm done
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: for the day.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: That's incredible Monstermania. Immediately right after he's like all right.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: I mean I walked around, but I basically spent a
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: big portion of the money that I was willing to
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: spend that day.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: It was meant to be.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an incredible release though, and definitely like I
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: just put down a note, we're gonna cover that in
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: season three ft Yeah, I mean I'm surprised we hadn't yet.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's always so much that we want
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: to cover. It kind of gets like so much stuff
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: gets overlooked, you know what I mean. Well, that's why
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: this show is gonna keep going on forever.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Chuck, I have to ask you, out of
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: the Living Dead trilogy, which one's your favorite?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: Night?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, Steve, what's yours?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Man? That's hard, I.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Night's not only my favorite in the trilogy,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: it's just my favorite movie in general. I watch it
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: at least once a month.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: I would have I would have to say Night of
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: the Living Dead. That's so hard.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: But it's it's it's tough because there's a part of
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: me that feels like Day of the Dead is just
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: such a like it's such a like Carey watch.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: It a lot.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hoping we were going to have like
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: a trifecta of like each of us whatever different because
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: my favorite is Day of the Day.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: So you were hoping Steve would say, Dawn, I'll throw
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: a curple. I'm going to give you this zaxt night
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: or down to the Dead. Actually, I'm kidding, guys, I'm kidding.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: I'm kidding.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: Your favorite is a Diary of the Dead.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Steven's no longer a host on this anymore.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: The Diary of the Dead.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: God damn it, dude. I got down with Diary of
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: the Day when that came out. I watched that movie
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: like maybe five times in one week.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: I had the Dimensioned Extreme DVD. Yeah, that was good Man,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: and I watched that. I tried watching that a couple
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: of years ago when I picked up the Blu ray
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know why I like
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: this so much. It's a shame because like later Romero
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: is like, you know, I I understand a lot of
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: be trying to do and I admire it, but like,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time getting through Survival of the Dead.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: Uh for Survival, I will say, I watched that movie
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: one time and I completely forget it.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, it's a rough one, but that's all right.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: So Steve, what's that? Uh? Oh sorry, truck ahead?
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I was gonna say. I think like
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: the main reason I like Diary back when it first
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: came out was because it was in that you know,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: first person found footage style thing. I was like, oh, yeah,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: this is awesome.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to give it to Romero for
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: trying something new that far in his career and like
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: doing a newer trend. Yeah, I mean you got to
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: you got to give it to him for trying something new.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it worked very well, if at all.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, looking back now.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Like I remember watching Survival of the Dead and it
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: follows the characters who appeared in Diary of the Dead,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: like they showed up in the van scene. It was
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: that soldier and you have there's a main follow up
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: that you follow in Survival, And I remember starting Survival
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: and being like, what the fuck are these guys? Like
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: I could completely forgot they were in Diary of the Dead.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: But Steve, what's that? What's that? Mystery? Third pick?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: All right, this is the one that I was waiting for.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Toby Hooper's Life Force on.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Four KH, recently released by Arrow, and I've never seen
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: this man it was so good, so good. So I
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: as far as I'm aware, I believe Scream Factory they release.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: A four K with just wasn't it just the theatrical cut?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bastards, dude, that's what I have. It's just the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: four K is just the theatrical on. Who the hell
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: watches the theatrical cut of Life Force?
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, this was so good.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: I just I had heard good things about it, obviously,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: like Toby Hooper, and somehow this film has always kind
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: of escaped me.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: I never had a chance to actually see it. I know.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: On I think one of our live streams, I was
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: talking about how long it took to arrive, but I
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: finally got it, safe and sound and man energy vampires,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: full nudity.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: It was awesome. It was awesome, dude.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: That was like the one I remember the first time
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: I'd ever seen Life for Us and I again, I
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: saw it on I think it was it was some
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: broadcast cut of it. The movie was like twelve minutes
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: shorter because they couldn't show any of Mythilda, may you
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? And like all of those scenes
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: with her, like yeah, she's nude, but like those scenes
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: are so prominent and they make they make so much
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: sense in the grand scope of things, like the beginning.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: I remember watching the beginning scene of her when they
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: discover her yea and she sucks the life out of
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: the doctor or of the science, and it was so choppy.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell is this movie? Years later,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: I remember watching it on streaming somehow and I was like,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: she's naked. I was like, what the hell.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: I just love I mean the opening sequence and when
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: they first find her, like visually, it's something else, Like
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what type of budget that
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: they gave Toby Hooper for this, but it felt like
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: he would just went carp blanche with what he was
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: able to do, and it was it was just more
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: in tune with like it just felt like it was
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: his vision.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Five million dollars.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: So for the time, Yeah, and I feel like that's
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: quite a bit.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately it only grows eleven. Well, that's unfortunate and just
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: a fun fact for people who know there is a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: sixteen minute difference between the theatrical and the direct good.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: That's a big ut.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love I'm a sucker for like Cosmic Horror.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: You could definitely tell that there was like that lovecrafting
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: and influence on the film.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: You had the the apocalyptic stakes towards the end of it.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, the movie gets so big in
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: scale so quickly.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: It did not go nearly in the direction that I
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: was anticipating, because it felt like a very like smaller
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: scale movie.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Initially, and then by the end, I'm like, dude, I
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: don't even feel like I'm watching the same movie any If.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: You if you watched the first half hour of this
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: movie and fall asleep and wake up at like the
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: hour fifteen minute mark, you would be convinced you're watching
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: a totally different movie. Like you would wake up and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: be like when that happened?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: It feels like.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: The you know, obviously, the reoccurring theme you know throughout
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: the film is is you know, you have like the
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: the female likes what would you say, space vampire and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: using that sexual energy as power throughout it. So obviously
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: that's like a reoccurring thing or like a theme throughout.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: Obviously a lot of the the supporting cast, it's like
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: loss of control or like, you know, possession. Just it
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: was I don't know, man, that was probably one of
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: the better movies I've seen in a while, and as
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: far as Toby Hooper's movies, I mean, obviously like Texas
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Chainsaw is a big one, and poultric Ice, I'd probably
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: put that up there in my top three.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, life Force is great, man, It's just so radically different,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: and I do feel like that movie kind of gets
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: pushed to the side for sure a little bit, you
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. But uh, that Era one one day.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to upgrade to that because I would
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: love to have the director's cut on four K. But yeah,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: nobody's ever seen Life Force. Definitely check out. It's also
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: a beautiful I know this is only an audio only episode,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: but the arrow has a great slipcover on. It looks lovely.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: It's got like this cool like gloss pop to it.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it looks very very good.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: It looks really nice.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so definitely do great three choices man, Oh yeah,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: great choice.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: So I want I know we're saving one for the end,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: so that's like a movie that we can all agree upon.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, well I'll keep this next one short
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: because I feel like there's not much I can say
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: about it to really add but I did get and
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: I've already watched the Ignite Films release of Reanimator on four.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: That looks so good.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: This is a yeah, thick release, very reminiscent of Second
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Sight films. Like the digibook that holds the packs you have,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: the art cards, you have, the book as well as
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: the hard box on the outside looks fantastic in four K.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, Reanimeter is one of my favorite films of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: all time. I think that Stuart Gordon's kind of like
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: best best movie. It just worked. You have Jeffrey Combs,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: Barbara Crampton, like this movie's David Gale, Like this movie
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: is so good and it moves so quickly, Like this
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: movie feels like it never slows down, It just keeps
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: keeps going. This four K restoration looks fantastic, especially at
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: you know, like I like four K transfers that don't
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: pop out at me, very heavy, Like I just want
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge the movies good. And then it looks that
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: consistent all the way through, and I recognize that there
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: is a drastic improvement. But in the end scene in
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: the morgue with the fog and the chaos in that scene,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's when it really stood out to
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: me how beautiful this restoration looked. Of course, there's there's
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: so much here that is so iconic to a trashy,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: violent cinema. You know, you have the eye bulging scene
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: at the beginning where the eyeballs explode. You have the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: head giving head scene, which is you know, as as
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: as notorious as it gets, you know what I mean.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: There's just so much, so much greatness and reanimated. It's
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: so it never tries to be a horror comedy. It's horror,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: and it's just so naturally funny without having to really
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: put in the effort to being funny. And yeah, it's
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy it finally got a great presentation. I
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: did own that Arrow Blu Ray set, which I did
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: sell to I bought this and then I sold that
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: to a collector who wondered it, so I ended up
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: coming out even on that. But I do think for
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: the fortieth anniversary, this is the definitive. I cannot see
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: a world where I buy another re Animator release. I
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: don't really see a reason to.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like the compare, because I know you
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: had the Errow releases on Blu Ray. Did you feel
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: like it was a pretty noticeable jump in quality with
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: like the transfer or just like the presentation as a whole.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: I you know, I didn't do a side by side,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: you know, that's not really my thing. I did watch
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh shit, this looks really good,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like in my head, I was like, yeah,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: this is definitely like I said, especially in the end,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: because I think I think Reanimator for the most part
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: is pretty like there's not a lot of visual style
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: to it. You know, like you have the green, the
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: bright green of the serum, but other than that, everything's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: pretty shot and lit kind of very ordinarily.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: You have the dark basement, which basement looks great. I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: did feel like I saw a little bit more going
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: on in the darker corners of the basement. One scene
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: that really stood out to me was with the cat
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: when when Herbert West is being attacked by a cat
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: and you have the light, yeah, bouncing it in the
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: room as they're trying to hit it with the shovel.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: So like that stood out to me. And like I said,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: at the end, when the moree fills with the smoke
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: and you kind of have the chaos of that scene,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: that's really when I saw the where the improvements were.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it was good enough that I'm
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: happy I own it, you know what I mean.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: So, Chris, I gotta ask you, would you consider Reanimator
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: or From Beyond your favorite Stuart Stuart Gordon film Animator?
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like I feel like, uh, how how
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: do I I'm trying to remember how to use this
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: phrase properly, which I don't. Oh, never mind, it wouldn't
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: be the right order. Anyway. From Beyond is great. From
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Beyond is very easily my second favorite story Cordon film.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I just feel like Reanimator is so iconic, like I
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: could put it on it anytime and just enjoy it.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: You know, there were things about re Animator that very
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: young shamefully resonated with me. Of course, Barbara Crampton, you
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, which in reading story of Gordon's biography,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: they actually had her lay naked on a freezing cold
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: like surgical bed. You know that that was real and
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: they actually had to use hair dryers to heat it
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: up before she laid on it. It's just like so
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: funny to me, and also too as I get older
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: and I feel like my sense of humor kind of
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: changes a little bit. I find that the darker humor funnier.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, the that doctor Hill
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: and his obsession with her as I get older becomes
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: more disturbing, especially at the dinner scene in the first
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: half of the film, you know, like, that's really and
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: then it all comes to a head. Oh wow. I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: did not mean to say that.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: I was like, I see what she did there.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: When she opens her eyes and it cuts to the
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: shot of the fake head that he put on top
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: of his body and the exposed eyeball plastic. I found
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: it funnier than ever man, And I do want to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: get a tattoo that just says, uh, I want to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: get a tattoo of a notepad that just has cat
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: dead details. Later, even though that was never actually written,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: you know, that was quoted, that was said, but I
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: still think that's that's yeah, yeah, that's I definitely think.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: You know, well, here's the thing, Uh, support Ignite Films.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: You know these guys, these guys did an incredible job.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: And this is a label that I remember hearing about
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: with Invader from Mars. Invaders from Mars people were very
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: excited about it. I heard the transfer was beautiful, I
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: heard all this great stuff about it. This is the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: true story of G I Joe is another release of theirs,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: which I am not a G I Joe guy, so
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: that that release just didn't resonate with me in a
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: way that that encouraged me to pick it up. But
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: this is incredible. This is right next to this next
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: film that we're going to talk about, definitive proof of
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: the status of physical media and genre film, which right
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: now is I think at a peak, and I'm going
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: to use that as a segue to talk about would
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: I think everybody who has gotten as far as put together,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: we all grit, we all got, and I think we've
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: all watched Grindhouse Releasing's release of The Beyond on four K,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: in this beautiful Book of Ebond Deluxe Edition, that.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: Is I can't believe it's here.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: It feels like it feels like this feels like, you know,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: like like forbid and like this was never real, you
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: know what I mean.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: Like maybe none of it is.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Hey, don't guess with my head, Chuck susceptible right now
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: after watching The Beyond.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: I don't if you had told me twelve thirteen years
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: ago that Lucio Fulci's Seven Doors of Death was going
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: to get a deluxe four K release with one of
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: the one of the greatest examples of physical media presentation
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I would have told you to jump
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: off a bridge. This is this is incredible release. Man,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: and I just watched this last night. This movie looks incredible, dude,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: out of this world.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: M hm, dude, I was amazed.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Oh looks so good. I and I don't know how
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: to I'm a I'm a bonus features guy. Man, I
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: want to watch interviews, I want to do all that.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this year I will be able
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: to get through everything in this release.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: I would say that this release from Grindhouse Releasing is
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: probably one of the most stacked four k's.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: That I've seen.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: And I couldn't even tell you how long with like
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: everything that like. Obviously it's a six six disc set,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: and the amount of like content they just crammed into
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: it is just, I don't know, it's insane, and maybe
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: it makes sense why it ended up taking probably longer
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: than anybody was hoping it would, but this was beyond
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: well worth the waight U pun intended.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: So I want to give a breakdown for anybody listening
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: that has not picked this up and it's maybe seen
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the pictures that people on social media have posted. This
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: is a sixth disc release that contains and I'm not
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: even gonna look, I'm gonna see if I remember this
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head. You have a four
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: K disc that has the theatrical cut of The Beyond
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: plus the Composer's cut, which is the same cut, it's
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: just different music. And then you have a Blu ray
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: of the Composer's cut. There is an Extras disc that
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: is just new features, So you have an extra's disc
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: just new features. That's three. Then you have an Archival
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: Extras disc which is all the bonus features that were
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: on the Grindhouse releasing Blu ray, and I believe that
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: had some archival extras from some DVD stuff as well.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: Then Disc five you have the Seven Doors of Death,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: which is the original US cut that's on DVD, and
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: then you have the Composer's Cut CD soundtrack, and all
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: of that is housed in a book of ebond replica
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: digibook style in a hard box with a one hundred
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: page book that was exhausting.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: Just need you guys know it well done.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: I think you knocked it out of the park. That's
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: pretty good, right, Hell, you're very impressed.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: And you guys watched me. I did not look once.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: It's still sitting here to my lab.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, So Chris, you've obviously seen it before, right, Yeah? Okay, Chuck,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: was this the first time watched for you?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: This was a first time watch for me?
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: So prior to this, had you watched any of Luccio
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: Fulci's other films.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: I think I've only saw City of the Living Dead
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: and Zombie prior to this.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, what did you think? I'm just curious, like, because
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: we obviously, Chris and I probably have a little bit
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: of like different perspectives on it.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: And what did you think? Was this what you were
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: expecting with this film? Or it's not really what I
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: was expecting.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: I've I know it was part of the Gates of
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: Hell trilogy, but I wasn't really expecting a lot of zombies.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be more like a
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: psychological supernatural stuff going on with it. But dude, another
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: great zombie flick.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it is. So I'll tell you my I
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: think the beyond beginning to end is a perfect Fultu film.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: It is the You get the exact amount of precursor
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: with that opening prologue, the Sepia toned prologue. But I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: also want to tell a funny story because I know
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: my wife's gonna hear this, because she's right outside the
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: door right now. So last night I put this on
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm watching it, and the beginning when it captures
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: do is it Zwike? Is that how you say it?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: What is that his name? Zwike? I guess I'm going
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: to say it right when they capture him while he's
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: doing that painting, and they bring him down into the
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: basement and they begin whipping him with the chains, which,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, thanks to the book, I've learned that
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: the that was shot, so the chains whip and they
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: rip the skin off that was shot by taping the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: chains to the appliance and then pulling them off, and
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: all all of the blood was actually layered with a
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: layer of clear fluid to give like an extra fluidity
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: to it, like an extra grossness. But here's exactly what happened.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: My wife comes out of the bathroom and during this scene,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: and I said something to her and she was like,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: she's like sh like and she's watching and she's she before,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: at some point in our relationship had told me about
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: this movie she had watched when she was younger that
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: contained this scene of somebody being whipped with chains and
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: then having acid put the put on them. But in
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: her memory, acid was almost like AsSalt. You know, it's
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: a it's a liquid. And then she asked me if
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: there was a library scene, and I said I couldn't remember,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: because I genuinely was like, I can't remember if there's
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: a library scene. So I watched half the film last night,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: turned it off. Today, I get home from the doctors
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: and I put the movie back on, and you get
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: to the Tarantula scene, which is in like a library.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a library. And we figured out that
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: this was the weird memory that she had of some
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: movie that she probably should not have been watching at
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: the time that she saw it, but this was the movie.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: So this whole time that this mystery movie that has
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: been that she's been searching for forever kind of unconsciously
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: was Lucia Fultes The Beyond.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's awesome.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just want to know where she initially
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: saw this.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: I think she told me she her brother, I think
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: on with her dad when she was younger and in
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: the room, and she told me she thinks that like
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: at some point her dad had been like, oh, you know,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: golf to your room, like you know, you shouldn't really
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: be watching like this, you know. And then clearly shortly
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: after the memory of the library scene, you have the
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: tarantula feasting sequence, which you know, I think it's really gnarly,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: but no, there's just so much cool stuff about this movie. Man,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: like Emily, Like it's such a cool visual her being blind,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: and like the way that he shoots that dude. There's
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: a there's a shot that I forgot about that I
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: think is perfect during the tarantula scene, and it's that
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: close up on his eye as the tarantula comes into frame,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: and it's like slightly tilted as the tarantula comes in.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: There's so much about this movie.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Even Tuck's not doing well.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: I was squirming that whole scene.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: Even the visual of hell at the end is so good, yep,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: so good. Dude, Like this movie, it's only nice. It's
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: like eighty seven minutes. It's very short, it's very to
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: the point it doesn't play around. I actually had to
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: google it because the house the hotel in this was
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: is very similar structurally and location wise to the house
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: and house by the cemetery. Mm. Okay, got like that
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: that same look. But yeah, dude, I love this movie
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: and I think this is a perfect release for it,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: a perfect release.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, So you know the scene where they're on the
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: cause White Bridge, m hmm, yeah, yeah, Okay, so I've.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: I've drove on that a couple of times before.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: Oh nice it is.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: I don't mind driving on it, but for anyone who's
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: who's listening, I mean, you can't see shit all around you.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: All you see is water, it is. I remember I was.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: I was like way too caffeinated, and we're me and
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: one of my buddies were even all the way down
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: this and I was just like overwhelmed with ways of
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: anxiety being on that And like, obviously I've seen the movie.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: It's one thing, but now going back and watching this
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: film and seeing that scene, it's so uncomfortable.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: Well, because I think I was reading in the booklet
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: that came with this release that there is a point
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: of that bridge where it's like six there's like it's
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: like just enough either either side is like sixteen miles
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: away so that you cannot see land at one point
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: of it, and that was the point that they shot us.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: It's terrifying, Like it's I don't know, I don't know
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: what it is. I think it's the idea of just
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: you're you're just in the middle of nowhere, just driving along,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: and you're you're too like you're too far gone at
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: that point. You have to obviously get to the other side,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: Make it any easier.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: And thank you luciol Folci for basically turning that bridge
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: into a straight up nightmare.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: My favorite I love that picture of him on the
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: book on that Yeah, So I was going.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: To say my favorite story from the booklet is there
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: was like a friend of a friend that worked for
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: somebody who was able to get that lane closed. So
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: they had one lane that was closed to shoot this
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours, and it actually like went
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: longer and they had to beg for forgiveness because they
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: they finished shooting it. They were done, but Folci wanted
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: these pictures.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: We like defied the length of time that they want
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: him on there, just to get that. That now probably
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: most infamous photo of him ever. Mm hmm.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: It's yeah.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: This this film, like as far as horror goes, is
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: such a perfect film. Like it's surreal horror. It's filled
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: with gore. The special effects are just insane, dude.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: The acid pouring on the mother, Oh my god. And
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: then it's like, never in my life that I think
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: I would be afraid of a puddle of acid blood,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: but as it chases the little girl around this circular morgue,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: it's terrified.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just feel like obviously, like it's just so atmospheric,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: just very rich in atmosphere. You're obviously dealing with like
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: elements of the occult, like the supernatural aspects of the film.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: To see, I just like took a few other notes
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: on this. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, there's like
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: what more can you say about this movie, to be honest, Yes,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: it's incredible.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: It's pretty perfect, man, and the four K looks stunning,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: Like definitely, it's still very filmic, but it's just so
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: it's so sharp and clean, and like I saw so
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: much more detail in the basement, especially with poor Joe
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: the plumber, that poor guy trying this job man, Yeah,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: the Martha showing up. Yeah, and like, oh dude, that
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: eye scene with Joda Plumber is so oh my god, how.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: You just.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is with like the like
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: Lucio Foulsci's films, but it's the eye scenes are so
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: incredibly hard to watch that I I just kind of
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: like WinCE.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: I have to like almost look away a little bit.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there. I mean, the Transula scene to me
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: is like the clear winner as far as disturbing because
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: it just keeps going. And you know what's so funny too,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: You can so clearly tell the difference between the real
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: body and the dummy, but it doesn't lessen the effect
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: because when nose spiders bite and they pull and that
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: skin stretches and that and then it but it rips
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: into the eye and then like you can clearly tell
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: this isn't especially in four K, you know what I mean.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: Like I was saying this last night, we were watching
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: the burning and I was like, man, you can so
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: much more clear in four K. See the man in
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: the suit during the cropsy burning scene. You can so
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: clearly tell this as a dummy, but it does not
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: lessen the impact of a tarantula climbing into your mouth
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: and biting your tongue. It's still so impact well, and
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: then the but it bites his tongue and then his
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: head it kind of slumps over and all that like thick,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: gloopy blood pours. Oh gross man.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: I will say, there's the hospital shootout scene with like
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: the uh, the undead. It kind of reminded me a
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: little bit of Night at the Living Dead when that
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: was going on, where it's just like, you know, the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: sheer hopelessness. It's basically like a nightmare collapsing in itself,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: like when it's taken.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like everything's going down.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: But I think my favorite scene of this entire film
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: is the ending, just because it's just like it's so desolate,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: so open ended with like okay, where do things go
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: from here?
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: Essentially, and it quiets down. Like the hospital scene is
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: so hectic.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: Mm hm, very chaotic, it's very contic.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: The music is loud that the music is very rambunctious.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is so crazy, and then you have them entering
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: hell and it's quiet and this landscape that we see,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: this very desolate, desaturated landscape with bodies sort of melting
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: into the ground around them. It's quiet, it's so quiet,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: and they're looking around and they turn around. You cut
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: to another wide shot right, and it's so creative, and
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: then you have the hit of music and the reveal
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: of their eyes whiting over mm hmmm, and it's it's
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: it's genius, man, it's so well done.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: Spoiler Earliert after the spoiler, I feel like you've given
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: listeners more than enough time to see this movie.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're the spoilers. Aspect is I can't
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: hold back on a movie that came out when was
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: in the eighties?
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was this eighty?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: Fuck?
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: I know what year this came out to? God, damn it,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: what was this eighty?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Let's see hold on getting to that point in the
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: podcast where I'm.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: Like eighty one tired.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say eighty one, but I didn't
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: want to give it earlier than.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Then, Yes, eighty one, which is crazy to think about
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: because this movie does not look like it comes from man.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: He had a run like zombies, say the Living Dead
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: US house by the cemetery, like I don't know, wild.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a beautiful release I don't know if
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: this limited edition is still available. I think no, I
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: think this is I think just the cop the version
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: that we got with the Eye is not available. Let's see.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Because they don't really grindhouse releasing stuff doesn't really go
• 1:40:21

• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: in the community. You know, We've we've had we've had
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: some really good growth here and each episode. I mean,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: obviously if episode depends on what we're covering, depends on
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: the fan base and stuff, but I've had I've gotten
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: some incredible feedback on the show. Steve bringing you in
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: this season was obviously a perfect addition to the show,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: So we knew we had to go big for season two,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: and I think season two also kind of pushes us
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: into some very different directions because, just for transparency, originally
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: we were talking about season two, we were going to
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: do Nosfaratu in December. We were like, oh, it's cold,
