Episode 483: Blue Velvet, Purple Rain (Plus Punch & Pie)

A pretty solid week for new Blu-ray and 4K arrivals that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski talk you through. They include, arguably, David Lynch’s best film and the consequences if you choose an ice dancing show over it. Orson Welles’ first foray into cinematic Shakespeare as well as a special collection of the cavalcade of films released in the wake of Bruce Lee’s untimely passing. Joe Dante’s loving tribute to the movies of our youth gets the 4K upgrade as do the works of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Finally, is the film that truly launched Prince one of the best bad movies ever made or one of the worst great movies? You make the call, now in 4K! 0:00 - Intro 1:59 – Criterion (Blue Velvet 4K) 20:02 – Kino (MacBeth) 26:10 – Severin (The Game of Clones Bruceploitation Collection) 35:43 - Fun City (Strangers Kiss) 39:27 – Shout Factory (Matinee 4K) 48:26 – Paramount (When Worlds Collide, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut 4K, Team America: World Police 4K) 1:10:10 – Warner Bros.
