Despite all of its evolutions, I still very much connect with all of the Fast & Furious movies, probably because the people who make it are the ones who love making it

It won't ever stop because even if the old audiences don't watch it, the new audiences will watch It. And at some point the old stuff will lose its sacredness. Also merchandising still works very strongly, especially with children

Intelligent thoughtful review 😊

It's a pretty tired narrative to see so many youtubers criticize Star Wars, comic book movies or really any modern-day pop culture property these days. So many of these types of videos just blur together for me. The thing I find comical is that many of these youtubers that criticize modern-day popcorn films, will often do videos on how they have purchased some truly terrible genre films of previous decades that they will openly defend! I saw one youtuber viciously attack a Marvel movie and then a few videos later he was raving about how underrated "Nail Gun Massacre" is, lol. The lack of self-awareness on youtube is funny.

I love bear family records and thanks for spreading the word

Glad to see you keep spreading the gospel of Bear Family. While Universal carelessly loses master recordings in fires, they’re archiving America’s rich musical history. When they put out a release of a long forgotten artist I’ve never heard of it always leads to discovering gems and rabbit holes that lead to other artists.

Love this label! Their Christmas albums are fantastic

I was JUST starting to look into this label! Thanks for this amazing interview...Now I'm hooked

Bear Family records is a fantastic treasury of sound recordings. i've collected their cinema-related box sets for years and they are among my most prized collector items. Most come with album-sized hardcover books, which are full of promotional and archival publicity. Their JOHN WAYNE'S WEST contains a large hardcover book of posters and virtually everyone of his western scores on multiple CDs, plus a DVD of trailers. The same is true for all the Karl May European Western films featuring Winnetou and Old Surehand. Then there's the boxed collections of recordings by SOPHIA LOREN and ANN-MARGRET, which contain some real treasures, including all of Ann-Margret's RCA Victor recordings in the sixties (when she was one of the most popular singers on that label). They did the only release of Doris Day and Rock Hudson's PILLOW TALK score by Frank DeVol, presented on CD in an album-sized box with a fully illustrated book that features the complete screenplay. I'll tell you: when these things go out of print, their value only goes way up, if you can still find them. It was great to hear about the history of Bear Family Records directly from Mr. Hoegen!

I became familiar with them in the 1990s when I started to buy their collections of vintage bluegrass and country on CD. Nice catch, Heath.

First 🎥

I have to say I'm in my 50's and grew up with the original star wars and the new Obi-Wan Kenobi blew me away. Love getting to see Darth's power that was missing from the originals. It made me smile and I watch it all the time. Sometimes the new stuff can be good and restore what is buried deep inside us from the early days. My inner kid came out and I have new collectables now from that show. So glad they made it.

What a great collection at that museum. Thanks for sharing Heath!

Let me know if I can ever pick up some Bear Family releases for you here in Germany, pal o’mine. 💿

The other day I realized I prefer to watch re-runs of Seinfeld on Netflix rather than new movies or series… Im tired of being disappointed with the crap they produce.

Just discovered, that you do a commentary on the next Kino Lorber Set! Really looking forward to this one!!!😀

'Case of the Bloody Iris' 4k is a stunning release in every way and I can't wait for 'Black Belly of the Tarantula.' Great interview Heath!

You gotta warm up that Lava Lamp a little more before filming! Peace, man!

I sure miss those rock bands . Rock music is not as good as it used to be.

"Starve it out" is the best description I've heard on how to fight this re-hashing of old ideas which is killing film. I have been doing just that. I'm not going to the theatre unless I see a unique original idea (this is rare). I haven't seen the latest few Star Wars spinoff series because I'm just so tired of it. The Mandolorian and Book of Boba Fett were the last one's I watched. The Mandolorian was legitimately good. Boba Fett was just ok. Now I'm mostly watching older movies I've never seen before because they are just more entertaining and real compared to modern trash, and I'm getting way more entertainment out of it.

Grapefruit is another great U.K. label. I traded in my Beatles stereo box set and put the credit toward the mono box set. Like Lemmy said "Mono is the only way to listen to The Beatles" See you have the Nancy Light In The Attic record if your interested Nancy's web sight has a beautiful hardcover photo book of her career. Fav Rascals track..toss up between Beautiful Morning or How Can I Be Sure

This looks like a wonderful set. It's the first I've heard of it. I have the Rhino Handmade set from a couple of decades ago. The new set has more music, and its half the price! Plus extensive liner notes from Ritchie Unterberger. My Rascals pick to click is "Good Lovin'" then "Groovin'"

Salut. wow-really awesome !

Now Sounds produce some excellent box sets - I don't have this one but I'm tempted by the great reviews its getting. Favourite (Young) Rascals track: Come on Up.

No hot takes on Jack? You didn't mention him once lol🤣

Great review Heath! I absolutely loved this film

You have to admit, Gary from Nerdrotic is the funniest movie and show reviewer on youtube right now. He gave the Rings of Power, the star wars franchise and the marvel universe the verbal spanking they deserve. He did starve out the Wheel of Time series, he refuses to talk about that one, and for good reason.

Most streaming services will go bankrupt and will shut down early next year. This is why I ONLY support physical media and the cinema screens. Nothing else. Social media is the second root of all evil. Mel Brooks said it funnily anyway: 'when we make the sequel Spaceballs Part 2; the search for more money.' There is no heart and soul in anything anymore, it's all about the money.

2:25....Drill a pilot hole first and it won't split

I was also pleasantly surprised. It's one of my favorite movies of the year. I share your theater woes. A group of 4 geriatrics sitting beside me talked through the movie then one of them barked "Well that sucked" when it was over. It made me wish he was on the wrong end of a shovel.

Just finished as well, it was a long grind, all I can say is I’m team Dawson, and Joey Potter is the worst character ever, she ruins everything good in her life, it’s astonishing

I hope they do 8K…

"We brought the video store to us!" So true, and you should coin the phrase...

Thank you for saying this. I have had people attack me for "caring too much" about if movies are good or not. I made the exact same analogy about food. Are we expected to just stuff our faces with something if it doesn't taste good? Are we wrong to criticize a bad sandwich? No. We should absolutely care about what we are putting in our minds and bodies. Having opinions and healthy discussions are a critical part of who we are as humans.

Was lucky enough to go to the nationwide screening of the final cut a couple of years ago and it finally works-Ilia and Spock are now the central characters and their story arcs work. Still my favorite TREK film.

You took the words out of my mouth about STAR WARS . Loved those last 2 GHOSTBUSTERS though. Mostly I find myself more excited about shiny new remastered Blu Rays of movies and TV shows from last century.

The silent director you named, Frank Borsage is pronounced phonetically as "Borsoggy". He was a major director in sound films as well. (My ex mother-in-law starred in a film SEVEN SWEETHEARTS. for him in the early 40s

If you become a fan of obscure indie films, you won't really run into this problem very often

Another great review! I'm going to see this one.

Thank you for this video HH. I'm turning 50 on Thursday and thought about getting a screening arranged of a film that I can enjoy in a theater. A lot of places are doing that now because they are losing money. And I can't even think of anything to screen.

As a huge Star Trek fan I'm interested in the content of this video, but find it absolutely hilarious that in an interview criticising the quality of the special effects in the movie, they have the most horrific quality back-drop.

It reminded me of the outsiders more then anything like if you did the outsiders and cherry was being interviewed the entire movie that is what it would be

A few years ago, I bought the DE-SPECIALIZED versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The discs are on Blu-ray, and yes, they were pirated. I watched about HALF of The Phantom Menace and decided that I would never watch Star Wars sequels and prequels and spin offs ever again. I will stick with the Original Trilogy for the rest of my life.

Region a or free?

Cool Tiki shirt, man!

I felt the same way about the Peter Jackson Lord Of The Rings follow up trilogy The Hobbit. It's just a money grab and totally unnecessary. Never approached the heights of the original trilogy.

We need to support real cinema. Thank you for the review. I am going to the cinema for it soon!

Sucks that nothing new came in the features man finally checking them Out now smh oh well

This looks like a good legitimate movie to beat a superhero film.
