Episode 393: The Way of Frankenheimer, Jenkins and Cameron

Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress again for this week’s Blu-ray haul. They include the first film by Barry Jenkins along with titles from Peter Greenaway and Guy Maddin. The list is filled with films that may not be everyone’s cup of tea including some outdated racial casting, a little horror sensation from this year, a Cameron Crowe remake and in our case, Avatar. But that’s why you also get some Rin Tin Tin and two of the best films in the career of John Frankenheimer including a film that went into hiding for 25 years and one of the best action films of the past 25.   0:00 - Intro 1:04 - Criterion (Medicine for Melancholy, The Servant) 8:56 - Zeitgeist (A Zed & Two Noughts and The Falls: Two Films by Peter Greenaway) 13:02 - IFC (Skinamarink) 16:18 - Sony (Insidious (4K Steelbook)) 21:55 - Fox (Avatar: The Way of Water (4K)) 26:33 - Paramount (Vanilla Sky (4K)) 30:36 - Arrow Films (The Game Trilogy (1978-1979)) 33:17 - Kino (Mr. Wong Collection (1938-1940), Tales From the Gimli Hospital Redux, Clash of the Wolves / Where the North Begins, The Bridges at Toko-Ri, The Manchurian Candidate (1962) (4K), Ronin (4K)) 59:44 – New Blu-Ray Announcements 1:01:32 - Outro This is a public episode.
