Episode 350: Avoid The Sandpit, It’s A Doozy!

The first Blu-ray show of 2023 with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski brings about a variety of age-old classics to films fresh out of theaters. In-between there are films with early work from Joan Crawford, Matt Damon, Brendan Fraser, Diane Lane and Laura Dern. TV episodes are turned into movies, the bullied let their tormentors be setup for murder and Sonny Chiba is an executioner. Brandi Carlile gets an assist in bringing Tanya Tucker back to the mainstream and then there is a trio of exemplary 4K releases including one from Criterion and Terry Gilliam, a modern classic from Bill Murray and Harold Ramis and an upgrade for one of the best science-fiction films from the 1950s.   0:58 - Criterion (Imitation of Life, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 4K) 12:03 - Arrow (The Dunwich Horror, The Executioner Collection) 18:23 - Magnolia (Piggy) 21:58 - Cohen Media (The Gang of Four) 24:35 - Imprint (City of God, School Ties, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains) 40:54 - Kino (Sergeant Ryker, Warning Shot) 49:43 - Universal (Armageddon Time, She Said) 54:54 - Warner Bros.
