Episode 490: There’s No Way Out, You Can’t Stop The Nuts
This week in physical media expands the gauntlet between masterpieces, greatness, exploitation and outright garbage. In other words, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have a little something for everyone. They include a film from the ‘60s that was lost until the ‘90s, one of the first films from Jonathan Demme, one of the last films of Howard Hawks and hopefully not the last from Philip Kaufmann. There’s a box set of the works of Nico Mastorakis and a director’s cut featuring David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette. Two films from the great runs of Frank Oz and Kevin Costner get 4K upgrades and Peter tells you about one of the sexiest scenes he’s ever seen. Spoiler that it involves neither an infamous 1980 musical with The Village People or any of the Jaws sequels; both of which practically get their own episodes here. 0:00 - Intro 1:00 – Arrow (Red Line 7000, The Nico Mastorakis Collection, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 4K) 16:09 - The Film Desk (The Plot Against Harry) 24:07 - Media Book (Last Embrace 4K) 29:07 – MVD (The Linguini Incident) 38:07 – Kino (Bwana Devil, Can’t Stop the Music 4K, No Way Out 4K, In and Out 4K, Girl on the Bridge, Twisted) 1:35:15 – Universal (Jaws 3-Film Collection 4K) 2:00:19 – New Theatrical Titles on Blu-ray 2:07:25 – New Blu-ray Announcements
