Episode 352: They Still Live And They Still Rule

The weekly Blu-ray edition of the show is here with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski going through a number of titles from overseas distributor Powerhouse Films which includes John Huston doing Freud, Rita Moreno slapping Marlon Brando, George C. Scott as Sherlock Holmes and the debut of a controversial “director.” They get into the unique history of Chuck Norris’ Missing In Action films and get Peter’s thoughts on a couple releases from last Fall. They defer in what may be the best Guy Ritchie film, Erik makes his case for one of the dumbest films ever made, but both agree that John Carpenter’s masterpiece about the Reagan era is still as every bit relevant today. 0:00 - Intro 1:19 - Powerhouse (Death of a Gunfighter, Freud, The Night of the Following Day, They Might Be Giants) 22:17 - Kino (Missing In Action Trilogy, No Mercy) 35:17 - Arrow (Angela Mao in Lady Whirlwind & Hapkido) 36:39 - IFC (Spin Me Round) 40:09 - Universal (Till) 43:01 - Disney (The Menu) 46:34 - Paramount (Double Jeopardy 4K, Cloverfield 4K Steelbook) 53:02 - Shout Factory (Wrath of Man 4K, They Live 4K Steelbook) 1:02:53 – New Blu-ray Announcements 1:04:19 - Outro This is a public episode.
