Physical Media News! Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday Releases! Criterion Sale and MORE! Pop that tape in, I got you, let's go do this!

[@gallynuts]

I want Miami Vice on 4K!

[@bestofboastworlds1883]

I've pre ordered Congo and Blood Tracks. Love those movies!

[@AVAPopCulture]

those are the 2 at the top of my targets list for this announcement

[@RobertQuant]

When did Congo come out any new interviews with the main actors

[@screamingeekmedia]

I ordered Congo. I haven't seen it in long time as well. Sucks they can't tell us a release date! Was hoping for another title, The Keep. But think it is one of the Secret Releases. But I am not buying movies not knowing what they are. I will wait until the actual Black Friday sale and have to pay more.

[@brandonhoover4752]

Pumped for Congo. Especially from Vinegar.

[@cobwebschannel]

Some of my friends are very excited about Looking for Mr. Goodbar. They say it's a great movie, and apparently has been difficult to see for a long time. I'm excited to get it and check it out.

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@cobwebschannel I'm very intrigued by that one as well...is it part of the subscriber titles?

[@cobwebschannel]

Also, vinegar syndrome always keeps a couple November releases secret until Black Friday. And pretty much everyone is saying one of them this year is going to be Michael Mann's The Keep.

[@cobwebschannel]

@@AVAPopCulture Yeah, it is!

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@cobwebschannel I had heard that too but I was reluctant to put that out there because it feels like The Keep is one they would want to hype up...I kinda want to get those blind buys in case but it can be a gamble with VS lol

[@cobwebschannel]

@@AVAPopCultureI did think it was weird that they didn’t announce that one right away. We’ll see, I guess!

[@Mike_Webb78]

Ordered Congo! Love that freakin movie!

[@AVAPopCulture]

@Mike_Webb78 yeah the VSUs are a must for me

[@modalsoul6511]

What’s up bro… hey I jumped on the VS preorders… I grabbed 1 Looking for Mr goodbar 2 Red Rooms 3 Hitman Hart 4 Blackeyed Susan 5 Interrogation Oh and I grabbed 10 criterion’s from the 50% off sale at Barnes and Noble…. I’m done this year except for HUSH.

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@modalsoul6511 daaaaang you got on it today my friend!!

[@mikefisher2673]

Looking for Mister Goodbar, I don't even know that got a DVD release. It was such a controversial film in I believe 77.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

It didn't, I had to search for a copy of it on the high seas for my girlfriend. I'm not a fan but she loves that movie.

[@jeremywagler3426]

I had to pre-order Cannibal the Musical! Hilarious movie if you're into Troma films. It was made by the South Park co-creators back in the 90's. Also, I'm interested in that Seinfeld set and Willow!

[@K_LCollectibles_Games]

Definitely interested in Congo, nice.

[@ragnar-tl4fl]

I missed the old vinegar syndrome If you've been collecting from the beginning you know what I mean 🤘💿🤘

[@davejones538]

Today i ordered Risky business 4k but here in UK was only 40% off

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@davejones538 excellent 4k!

[@garvisreed2410]

BTW, if you want the ultimate Blind Bag experience with Vinegar Syndrome hang tight till April Fool's Day. They do a special hidden item every year. The first two years were special slipcovers. I'm still waiting for this year's item. I ordered it 6 months ago, but I'm sure I will be thrilled when it arrives.

[@getthechopout]

Chase did you see Umbrella is putting out box sets of Terrifier. Accepting Pre-orders

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@getthechopout yeah I saw that big set a few days ago but that is out of my price range right now lol

[@drewhallum2563]

I was SO excited to see Congo!!!

[@AVAPopCulture]

I'm hearing a mixed reaction on it but I remember this being a big movie when it came out...I am looking forward to getting it and watching it!

[@markpugh6808]

I enjoyed Congo back in the day had the VHS of it at the time yet strangely have never owned it on any other format since and not seen it for years

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@markpugh6808 same here

[@bmg5015]

Congo is a big one for me. That was an easy purchase

[@AVAPopCulture]

they got me on the VSUs...I will buy every one they put out lol

[@themtgdude486]

Same.

[@bmg5015]

By the way, Last Night in Soho deluxe 4K steelbook set is up for pre-order on Orbit

[@RobertQuant]

Any new interviews with Congo

[@garvisreed2410]

I was going to comment on Looking For Mr. Goodbar, but I see plenty of other people have beaten me to it. It was a huge release back in the 70s and has been stuck on VHS due to musical rights. I finally broke down and bought a bootleg recently, but now I have ordered the legitimate release. I keep hoping Vinegar Syndrome will give us a fully uncut version of The Harrad Experiment. It stars James Whitmore and a very young Don Johnson, but has been stuck on DVD and even then mostly in heavily edited versions. It too was based on a bestseller and has lots of nudity and sexual situations.

[@benbelzer8303]

👋, the comments I'm seeing about Mr Goodbar reminds me of a favorite of mine called Body Heat, 1981. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. 😊 I remember in college I told my teacher I had been watching it and he goes "Whoa!, Ben." He laughed. 😅

[@AVAPopCulture]

LOL

[@slimdude2011]

Looking for Mr. Goodbar was based on a true story. I've read the book many years ago. The reason why some people didn't like the movie is because of its sexual content, but it plays an intricate part of the story, involving the character's personality.

[@benbelzer8303]

@slimdude2011 I just read the plot of the book and it sounds really good! Now I want to see the film version. 😁

[@slimdude2011]

@@benbelzer8303 It's a good book. If you get an opportunity to read it, do so and then see the movie.

[@screamingeekmedia]

Willow is a Fox title so most likely be part of the Sony/Disney deal.

[@dansanfrisco]

I would have preferred a Sphere VSU release over Congo. I did preorder the Seinfeld 4K complete series (my favorite all-time sitcom) but with the 4K original aspect ratio being a limited release and the blu-ray hd cropped version a mod no limit release is a dirty ploy by Sony.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Sphere would be an awesome VSU...I like that movie more than most people lol

[@jjchmiel78]

WAIT! As a subscriber I don not expect to get my package until Dec 16th or later. Non-subscribers may not get their order until next year. Looking for Mr Goodbar is part of my subscription package as well as those two secret titles. I pre-ordered Congo. Rumor has it Jade is one of the secret titles and I really hope the rumors are true.

[@AVAPopCulture]

It says they are Mailing them out Starting December 2nd unless I miss-read that

[@jjchmiel78]

@@AVAPopCulture VS Says a lot of things! Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of what they put out. I am a third year subscriber. I have over 300 titles and with partner labels close to 500 titles from them. I have NEVER got my order shipped out that quick after Black Friday or the Half Way to Black Friday sale at the end of May. When they shipped from CO to me It was 4 days to get to me even though I am an 8 hour drive from there. Now that they closed that warehouse and ship everything from CT it is about 10 to 12 days before I get. Before I was a subscriber it was common for my May order not to show up until July and my Nov orders not to show until Jan. They are just getting bigger sales, titles, recognition, ...prices, just not their shipping speed. I say this to tamper expectations into the realistic realm so you and your viewers unfamiliar are not disappointed.

[@tylersawyer9837]

Do vinegar syndromes VSU have stand alone editions? Like a normal slip version?

[@AVAPopCulture]

they might eventually have standard versions but they wont have slipcovers

[@Saturdaynightdrive-in]

Looking for Mr Goodbar is classic 1970s film. Didn't think it would ever get done cause of the music rights. The films about sexual liberation of the 2970s bar scene. I think Diane Keaton was nominated for academy award best actress. If I remember right the ending was a real surprise/downer.

[@slimdude2011]

Please don't mention anything about the ending of the movie and spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

[@Saturdaynightdrive-in]

Didn't go over the partner labels!

[@AVAPopCulture]

nope...just the VS releases!

[@robertfaulkner1824]

you dont know cannibal the musical? Trey Parker and matt stone made this for troma before making orgazmo and south park

[@AVAPopCulture]

I was never a south park fan...dont think I ever made it through an episode so that is probably why I dont know this movie either lol

[@markgreene1162]

Where the hell is THE KEEP??

[@AVAPopCulture]

there is a rumor that it is one of the 2 blind buys

[@tomboling2309]

@@AVAPopCulture pretty sure the keep was just a rumor. Bc I would not be surprised that the keep does not come out at all. And I say that bc the director of the keep Michael mann has said in interviews that the keep will never get any physical release as far as he is Concerned

[@redmist78]

SO many drops in December...WTH? My wallet isnt big enough. Not happy Disney is charging $85 for their steelbooks......plus Seinfeld I have been wanting for a decade on BD.....but not before Xmas at $150 I dont think 4k will make it better but its also $250 (I have all the DVD sets but).....Seven steelbook.......just too many too list. I almost did a payment plan with Paypal for Neverending Story but im like to me.....does it still hold up? I need to break out my regular blu ray and see. Cannibal is HILARIOUS if you like the South Park guys. I have that and Orgasmo and Team America on DVD.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Yeah there is A LOT! and we haven't even heard about scream factory's January drops yet...

[@redmist78]

@@AVAPopCulture as a movie nut with a buying freeze im angry hahaha. (I keep buying stuff then cancelling it on amazon hoping i can get it at another place for just as cheap)

[@anthonymerchant2597]

I had Orgasmo and still have Baseketball along with the South Park movie, but I personally couldn't ever get into Cannibal. Makes me think of the other horror/musical Repo The Genetic Opera.

[@shaefranklin7753]

willow is disney

[@AVAPopCulture]

it is Disney but that does not mean Disney is putting it out

[@RobertQuant]

Whyyyy no new interviews with Ernie Hudson and Tim curry for Congo I hate when all these new releases never get the main actors involved in the special features we want hear there experiences making this movie another miss puppy

[@AVAPopCulture]

you cant always get everyone and Time Curry is in pretty bad health if I am not mistaken...they loaded it with special features though

[@RobertQuant]

@ I know but demolition man coming on December also could of got new interviews with the main stars Stallone and Wesley snipes and the gorgeous mother Sandra bullock

[@RobertQuant]

@@AVAPopCultureI understand about Tim curry but they could have easily got Ernie Hudson he talks about all his old movies all the time and he already made Ghostbusters frozen empire

[@tomboling2309]

Congo 4k is not worth 40 bucks ! That is just overkill on releaesing Congo on 4k at that high price tag. And looking for Mr good bar on 4k good movie. But not a movie that I would want to re-watch again.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Congo is a VSU...it is going to be a big hard box release with a slip cover inside, multi-discs, a book etc etc... $40 isnt outrageous for that when standard 4k releases like Signs or Sixth Sense cost $35-$40

[@tomboling2309]

@AVAPopCulture who cares if Congo has a hard box release. That still doesn't make it worth that high price tag. And there is a big difference between signs & Sixth sense getting a 4k release compared to congo getting a 4k release. Bc signs & sixth sense are very good movie & congo is just ok & not even in the same same league as those 2 classic.And plus Congo has been out on bluray for years & nobody really has been asking for a 4k release of Congo. And I am pretty sure the only people that are going to pay that high price tag for a Congo on 4k release. Will be the movie hoarder that buy everything under the sun ☀. And like I said Congo is an OK movie but not worth the 40 plus price tag

[@gallynuts]

That sale is trash. Almost nothing on sale I want

[@AVAPopCulture]

one man's trash is another man's treasure...I never trash sales because we are all looking for and like or want different things and I remind myself the boutiques are appealing to the masses, not to what I am looking for in my personal collection!

[@anthonymerchant2597]

My partner loves that movie Looking For Mr Goodbar, I watched it, and I'm not nearly as much of a fan of it as her. I was pretty disappointed with the film version of Congo as I had just read that book before it came out. I have been a fan of Michael Crichton since I was in middle school. Some I can totally look past like with Jurassic Park, but that one just didn't work for me. Cannibal the Musical is Trey Parker and Matt Stones debut into films. It's not one I'm a fan of either.

[@slimdude2011]

Looking for Mr. Goodbar is not a movie for everybody but personality, I thought it was good. It's one of the most long-awaited titles to be officially released, and it's going to sell like hotcakes, if not sold out. I hope it will contain the original soundtrack, without any modifications to the music due to copyrights. I've already pre-ordered the movie, including Congo.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

@slimdude2011 I'm pretty sure that the soundtrack was a major part of why it never got released before.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

@@slimdude2011 Yep, I just confirmed it was because of licensing for the music. So it will be interesting to see if they actually do release it with the original soundtrack in it's entirety.

[@slimdude2011]

​@@anthonymerchant2597 I've got great news! I contacted VS in regard to the soundtrack for Looking Mr. Goodbar, and I just received a response from them saying that all the original music in the movie will be intact, exactly the way it was presented in theaters.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

@slimdude2011 Thanks for letting me know, I told my partner about this and she insists that I have to get it for her now but she wanted to know that, too.
