Episode 644: Blessed Are The Cheesemakers, We Used To Make Failed IP

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have a lot to say about this week’s batch of physical media. Maybe not as much as the most successful franchise entry amongst them, but certainly about Ernst Lubitsch’s romantic comedy about thieves in love. Most definitely about Monty Python’s religious-skewering masterpiece. But there is also the troubled transports carrying George Kennedy and the out-of-control one that ranks as one of the great action films of the 1980s. An obscure, hard-to-find comedy about UFO seekers is the first of two Fred Ward headliners this week which leads into two films the guys have some fondness for including Orion’s attempt at an American James Bond and one of the very first masked do-gooders.4:29 - Criterion (Trouble in Paradise (1932) (4K), Monty Python’s Life of Brian (4K))22:57 - Universal (Meet the Fockers (4K))29:46 - Kino (Death Ship (4K), Runaway Train (4K), UFOria 4K, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (4K), The Phantom (4K))1:41:12 - More New Titles (Becoming Led Zeppelin, Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday, Midwinter Break)1:42:31 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik’s Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics’ Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago 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.
