Episode 451: Who Is Darkman And What Is That Tainted Mutant Vodka?

Keeping your physical media collection up to date? That is what Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski are here to do again this week. The latest and greatest in Blu-rays include a female-led martial arts double feature extravaganza as well as a double bill of films from the Civil Rights era. There’s a new film with Isabelle Huppert along and a collection of short parodies from Ernie Fosselius. Then new upgrades to 4K run the gamut from Australian psychic horror to a goofy underwater monster film. There’s also the final feature from anime director Satoshi Kon as well as the entire Beverly Hills Cop series. Share in their disappointment (and PTSD) of that third film and learn of the film that resulted from a radio blind date contest before both of them agree on the release that may just be Sam Raimi’s finest achievement. 0:00 - Intro 1:19 – Criterion (The Heroic Trio, Nothing But a Man, Afire) 12:06 – Powerhouse (Patrick 4K) 17:20 – Sony (Paprika 4K) 19:22 – Kino (King: A Filmed Odyssey, Leviathan 4K, The Last Castle 4K, La Syndicaliste 38:12 – Paramount (Beverly Hills Cop 1-3 4K) 56:45 – MVD (Hardware Wars) 1:04:30 – Shout Factory (Darkman) 1:15:26 – New Blu-ray Announcements 1:16:42 - Outro This is a public episode.
