Episode 498: That’s A Lot Of Cheese

Pretty big week on the physical media front as Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to spark your blu-ray budget. It’s always a cause for celebration when Albert Brooks can go from DVD straight to 4K and Criterion has a pair of his films for you. Not to mention an upgrade on a film that Brooks should have been nominated for. Robert Rodriguez’s Mariachi films also get the upgrade as does one of Robert Altman’s less-discussed ‘70s crime films. There are arcane French narratives, an early Philip Kaufmann film, one of Jean Claude Van Damme’s better efforts and a barrage of eco-horror the likes of which you have never seen or may even want to see. Yeah, you want to see them. 0:00 - Intro 1:00 – Criterion (Real Life 4K, Mother 4K) 27:21 - Sony (Drive 4K) 34:20 - Vinegar Syndrome (Reptilicus 4K, Thieves Like Us 4K) 48:21 – Arrow (Mexico Trilogy 4K) 1:02:24 – Shout Factory (Poltergeist II 4K) 1:07:57 – Kino (Last Year At Marienbad 4K, Alphaville 4K, The White Dawn, Frogs, Kingdom of the Spiders, Squirm, Food of the Gods, Empire of the Ants, Sudden Death 4K) 1:51:04 – New Theatrical & TV Titles On Blu-ray 1:56:13 – New Blu-ray Announcements This is a public episode.
