Episode 575: Epics, Killers And Clueless Politics

There’s a lot to talk about this week in the world of physical media. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk about a Stanley Kubrick epic finally getting the release it deserves. Oliver Stone revisits a final cut for his own epic and there is also some epic destruction from the ‘70s. Denzel Washington looks for a serial killer, though not the one traipsing through the woods like he was Terrence Malick. They’ve got film noir with Glenn Ford, horror meeting blaxploitation and Peter offering his thoughts on Ryan Coogler’s huge 2025 success. Finally the pair discuss Mike Nichols’ now quaint adaptation of politics leading up to the Clinton years and Amy Heckerling’s teen film from the ‘90s still entertaining generations decades later.2:30 - Criterion (The Big Heat (4K), Barry Lyndon (4K))21:23 – Shout Factory (Primary Colors (4K), Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut (4K), Abigail (4K))50:08 - Kino (Sugar Hill)55:37 - RJLE (In a Violent Nature (4K))1:04:59 - WB (The Little Things (4K))1:12:44 - Universal (Earthquake (4K))1:31:32 - Paramount (Clueless (4K))1:44:51 - New Theatrical & TV Titles On Blu-ray (Warfare (4K), Death of a Unicorn, The Amateur (4K), The Legend of Ochi, , Shadow Force, The Rule of Jenny Pen, Hell of a Summer, Until Dawn (4K), Sinners (4K), Fallout: Season One (4K), Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997), See (The Complete Series))1:53:30 – New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCheck eligibilityCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTBe sure to check outChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik’s Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.
