Thanks, Heath! God bless and stay safe!

[@marktubeie07]

I really appreciate you putting a list & timecodes in the description for easy access - always love your reviews & latest releases, but occasionally don't have time to watch these long lists - so makes for easy access - cheers !!

[@LaughMuBai]

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

[@jamied1579]

Thanks Heath, great video. 🙂 I love the idea from Arrow of having a slipcover over the hardbox case, as the contents tend to easily fall out of those hardboxes - I hope they continue doing so in future!

[@BrianRidgway-u5g]

And l picked up The Call of Duty set - my first - from 88 Films. A great boxed set, filled with value. Literally took me a week of viewing to go through the four films, listen to the commentaries, and watch all the extras. A terrific, jammed-packed set worth every penny l paid. Beautiful package design as well. I look forward to my next purchase from 88, as those Hong Kong action films of the 1980's were incredible!

[@BrianRidgway-u5g]

Picked up THE LAWYER from Kino Lorber. Surprisingly funny and fast paced for a courtroom drama. Unusual camera angles and soundtrack, and terrific work (and extras) from the terrific Barry Newman. The film has a fresh, contemporary feel to it, considering it sat unreleased for over a year. Overall, a SOLID feature at a great price! Thanks again, Heath!

[@roberthealey526]

Thank for another great monthly release video. These are the appetizers to get to go for the real meal your in depth videos.

[@HuntersCinema]

I ordered the 4K of The Valiant Ones from Eureka a few days ago. The film was nearly unwatchable before, and now it looks amazing. I'm excited to watch a new and restored King Hu film for the first time.

[@joshua2814]

I literally was just catching up on my YT feed for the first time in like a week and thought, “finally I can work on my playlist of longer videos as long as someone doesn’t post a long video before I check again” then bam. I “complain” though of an embarrassment of riches. I wouldn’t skip a new release vid from Heath.

[@damianp564]

Great stuff. I bought a previous release of Witch's Night Out at the Dollar Store. It was one of those weird, new/factory sealed DVDs with a lot of scratches on it. It wasn't loose so I don't know how that happened.

[@MsLizChatham]

So glad to see Black Moon get a release. It's an amazing film with beautiful photography and a (pre-code) horrifyingly tense climax.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

Did you know that Severin is releasing Dario Argento's Opera 4K on a 5 disc set?

[@CerealAtMidnight]

I saw that. Crazy!

[@jamesemory6696]

Queen of Spades is a jewel that most people have not seen. Excellent movie.

[@TimW-tq2ko]

I agree! I had never heard of it until this Imprint release came out.

[@SnakeNel]

QUEEN OF SPADES is on a double feature DVD with DEAD OF NIGHT. That's how I discovered it many years ago.

[@artirony410]

glad to see you covering some stuff from 88 Films, they're one of my favorite labels. Unrelated, but what do you think about Deaf Crocodile splitting off from being a Vinegar Syndrome partner label and going off full on their own?

[@CerealAtMidnight]

I think it's for the best. Vinegar Syndrome seems to have their hands full with partner labels, and I've had some conversations with people who used to work for partner labels about why they decided to go out on their own--it's almost always a good thing.

[@artirony410]

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

[@CerealAtMidnight]

Thank you! I'm proud of that track and I can't wait for everyone to hear it.

[@AV84USA]

How many of those are region locked? I looked “The Deep” as seen at 2:08 in the 4th row center and it says it won’t play in the U.S..

[@CerealAtMidnight]

They're all region free. Amazon is wrong. There are legal agreements that prevent these companies from always advertising their releases as region free, but that doesn't mean they lock them.

[@4bobbyt]

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

[@arcluna]

I greatly appreciate these videos, and thanks for showing Asian cinema even if you're not as familiar with the titles. Neither am I, but I love discovery. I would love to see you also cover anime titles.

[@planestrainsandautomobiles8065]

I’ll be honest, I have not watched or heard of any of these movies before. And that’s why I enjoy your content Heath. I am genuinely sad you are thinking of stopping this type of video, and I wanted to talk about it before I can’t anymore. I really enjoy martial arts films such as Shaw Brothers’ One Armed Boxer or the Bruce Lee films like The Way of the Dragon, so I perked up when I heard martial arts in your video. Watching the goofy and awesome stuff gives me a surge of power to do a workout on my floor. I’m wondering which ones of these you might recommend more for me. Also, are Bran Flakes cool?

[@m.dorado6966]

I own the Street Fighter movies and absolutely love them.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

Neat haul good showing and cool video Heath!👉🙂👈

[@madbug1965]

I got French Kiss and Risky Business on disc yesterday 😊

[@AV84USA]

Seriously, are any of these movies that you wanted or enjoyed before they were suddenly “for sale” in 4k? Not being a butthead, it’s just that I’ve bought many many things because the graphics were fantastic, mostly games, even though I am not a gamer. I can understand the appeal of seeing old obscure films with stellar remastered 4k resolution, but I try and avoid that personal rabbit hole and carefully choose my purchases and repurchases if I own films on previous formats.

[@SnakeNel]

Great roundup! As usual. 1) THE UNINVITED and THE QUEEN OF SPADES were A-pictures, not low budget, poverty row films. I suspect THE UNSEEN was an A-picture also (produced by John Houseman with screenplay by Raymond Chandler), but I've not seen it and don't know that much about it. 2) The director Frank Borzage's name is pronounced "Bor-ZAY-gee". Critic Farran Nehme said "I think we all learned to pronounce "Borzage" by watching "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies".

[@CerealAtMidnight]

I've watched A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, but heck if I can remember how to pronounce everyone's name. I'm old. Get off my lawn! In all seriousness, the most consistent comment I have gotten over the years is related to name pronunciation. I'm still not sure I'm pronouncing Beverly Linet's name correctly--I've never heard it spoken.

[@stuartobrien78]

Colombia's Curse of the Werewolf Coming out on Blu ray from Indicator Oct 22.

[@mikemoore5263]

I think part of collecting Physical media is loving the discovery of more obscure films that have been made thru the years, and I'm curious how you all feel on the differences between more Art House style films vs more low budget exploration style films, which you prefer, do you love it all and just depending on your mood on which movies you wanna watch. Both are not mainstream Hollywood and feel like get a fair amount of Physical releases from all of these boutique companies. Just curious if anyone else has thought about this or just me, lol

[@retrofun41]

Hi. Is there a list somewhere so I can find the releases with your commentaries? I'd use your affiliate link or maybe you can get a hold of them, sign them, and put it on sale with your other merch. you're doing so much the super show could use a part two so you don't feel like you're being rushed. Peace.🖖

[@CerealAtMidnight]

There's a running list of my commentaries over at CerealAtMidnight.com (always a repository for everything I do and have done) complete with affiliate links: www.cerealatmidnight.com/p/commentaries.html Thanks for asking!

[@ClassicSciFiandBeyond]

Thanks Heath, I saw that Studio Canal is releasing thier 4K/BD Edition of Red Sun in the end of July. Can you find out if this is a new strike or running on an older presentation? This was always a fun movie. great cast and I'd love to pop on it, but it looks like a French release and they are notorious for producing less that English freindly packaging...Please let me know what you find out ~ Doc

[@CerealAtMidnight]

The announcement for Red Sun doesn't mention any restoration notes, so it's probably an older, archival transfer. Just my guess.

[@ClassicSciFiandBeyond]

@@CerealAtMidnight , I have a decent Blu ray that came out a few years ago, I just hoping that this was an uptick from the one previous edition...anyway, thanks Heath.

I couldn't resist the Imprint Gothic horror stuff and the Asian films. Heath, have you heard about the Bruce Lee imitator ("Bruceploitation") set from Severin? The films are all over the map in terms of quality but the presentation is fantastic.

[@CerealAtMidnight]

I have seen that Brucesploitation box set, but alas, it's not for me. I simply wouldn't watch the movies. I applaud them for curating that set, though. It looks fun for fans of the genre.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Interesting!

[@kewune]

Are you getting all these for advertisement or are you buying these yourself? Serious question and no hate :)

[@CerealAtMidnight]

When I go out of my way to thank a distributor for sending me materials, and when I say these videos are a service for collectors so they can see things with their own eyes before they buy, it’s not me showing off my own purchases, it’s me showcasing new releases sent by studios and distributors.

[@kewune]

@@CerealAtMidnight Thanks really interesting to know :) and thanks for your help for chosing new releases!

[@dustbin5044]

Do you have anyone living in your home that is critical of all the movies you keep buying? Like 'oh great another package of DVD's!'

[@richconroy5559]

Heath, you can always feel free to donate those In the Line of Duty films to the Rich Conroy Fund for a Guy Who Can't Afford all These Damn Blu-rays 😂

[@Brickstyles2]

DVD sells the best? Not amongst the Boutique collectors that is for sure. I guess the DVD sells so well thanks to Grandpa and Walk Mart cheap bins? NOTHING AGAINST DVD I still dabble in DVD if I find something rare when I am out and about. I'm just trying to figure out why is all.

[@CerealAtMidnight]

It's a question collectors have been asking for a decade or more. Why is DVD still the dominant format? The answer is that for most people (not us, but the general public) DVD is good enough. Blu-ray will never surpass DVD and 4K will never catch up to Blu-ray. There simply aren't enough of us to change that--if there were, it would have happened years ago during Blu-ray's golden age. The same reasons people use for not supporting 4K are the same ones DVD buyers use for not upgrading to Blu-ray. "I'm not buying my collection again, it's too expensive, etc, etc"

[@joshua2814]

Pretty much. In Walmart particularly you can see that DVD is everywhere. Even at Barnes and Noble (which has cut back a lot) it seems to be about half of what they offer.

[@joshua2814]

@@CerealAtMidnight I talk to people who only dabble in physical media who are surprised when I tell them that a BD or 4K player will play there DVD. They just assumed they wouldn’t.

[@richconroy5559]

​@@joshua2814it boggles my mind that they never put anything on the boxes in big bold lettering that said "this will play your DVDs as well!" I'm sure it was to try to get people to buy more Blu-rays and rebuy their collections, but overall shot themselves in the foot

[@luisdomenech539]

Any time Arrow does the restorations themselves is cause for celebration. Paramount is very inconsistent with their transfers - something which is keeping them low on many people's rankings when they make favorite studio lists. It's like the studio uses a "dart on the wall" approach to their decisions on what gets good treatment and what gets a throwaway job. It's pretty frustrating.

[@CerealAtMidnight]

What’s really going on is that Paramount has a huge bank of 4K restorations that were done years ago and those are being mixed in with newer restorations. For instance, Once Upon A Time In The West was restored in 2018, but wasn’t released on disc until 2024. Six years is a long time in restoration terms, but their newer restorations have higher quality standards. I’ve met the folks at Paramount and I can promise you they’re not throwing darts.

[@luisdomenech539]

@@CerealAtMidnight Well that makes sense. Hey, since you have pull at the studio maybe you can convince them to release the 1989 version of We’re No Angels 😇

[@CerealAtMidnight]

I wouldn't say I have pull, but what I saw was a team that knew the catalog deeply and was eager to leverage those films on home media, either through Paramount directly or by licensing them out to third parties (Arrow, Kino Lorber, etc). Have you seen my interview with Paramount's Todd Sokolove? He's refrenshingly open, or as open as he can be while still working for a giant company. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jofUgKqAnL6ljM0
