from The Extras · host George Feltenstein

Send us Fan MailGeorge Feltenstein of the Warner Archive joins the podcast to review six films from the 1990s to 2000 that released for the first time on Blu-ray. We start with the animated "Rover Dangerfield," (1991) where Rodney Dangerfield's hallmark humor is impeccably tailored to tickle the funny bones of both kids and adults alike.  Next we review the first film released by MTV Films, "Joe's Apartment," (1996) starring a young Jerry O'Connell and a host of singing cockroaches.  From December we start with the excellent, "Saving Grace" (2000), a Indie darling that should not be forgotten, with standout performances from Brenda Blethyn and Craig Ferguson.  We then review the romp "A Midwinter's Tale" (1995), directed by Kenneth Branagh.  This mock-u-mentary style film is a delightful look behind-the-scenes of indie Shakespearean theater.We wrap up our reviews with two films released in November.  First is the historical drama "Rapa-Nui" (1994) from Kevin Costner's Tig Productions and directed by Kevin Reynolds.  Filmed on location on Easter Island, this story of Polynesian history is a visual  and dramatic delight.  And our last film is the historical romance "In Love and War" (1996) starring Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell and directed by Richard Attenborough.  This beautifully shot film is based on the true-life romance of a young Earnest Hemingway and his experiences in Italy during World War I.We provide a review of each film,  the restoration, and all of the extras to help you decide if you want to add it to your physical media collection.Purchase links:ROVER DANGERFIELD (1991)  Blu-rayJOE'S APARTMENT (1996) Blu-raySAVING GRACE (2000) Blu-rayA MIDWINTER’S TALE (1995) Blu-rayRAPA-NUI (1994) Blu-rayIN LOVE AND WAR (1996) Blu-ray Moviezyng Affiliate LinkThe Extras Facebook pageThe Extras TV YouTube ChannelThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupJoin our new public Facebook Group for Warner Archive Animation Fans and get the latest update on all the releases.As an Amazon and Moviezyng Affiliate, The Extras may receive a commission for purchases through our purchase links.  There is no additional cost to you, and every little bit helps us in the production of the podcast.  Thanks in advance.Otaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.  Contact us today to see how we can work together to achieve your goals.  [email protected]
