Vinegar Syndrome SHOCKS The World With CONGO On 4K! | Flash SALE Pre-Order Announcements!

[@midlevelmedia]

Sorry about the intro guys. Shit happens. Lol

[@ericsamuelperry]

I thought there was a glitch in the matrix .lol

[@p76441]

"STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!"... That line stuck with me since seeing Congo as a child. I definitely have a good time with this. Ernie, Tim and Delroy definitely seemed to enjoy themselves in their roles.

[@90abaker]

Damn!! Congo!! Where you become an endangered species. I loved that film!!! Laura Linney!! Came out the peak of Crichton with Jurassic Park and ER.

[@Ninzissou]

Pre-ordered Congo IMMEDIATELY when seeing the announcement. Like you I watched the movie so many times back in the 90s.

[@Tim_Raths]

Looking For Mr. Goodbar is the crown jewel of these releases. I immediately pre ordered that one because I didn’t want to miss out on it.

[@LaughMuBai]

Yes, finally, Looking for Mr. Goodbar!

[@scaps2200]

We need Michael crichton's 13th Warrior 4k next!

[@trevylangton22]

Please!!!!🙌

[@cobwebschannel]

“This screams $13 daily deal.” Damn, that is such an accurate description. 😂

[@Horridfilms]

I've been waiting for Congo, a dream release, it's also one of my absolute childhood favorites.

[@kelceywilson1626]

I'm definitely picking this up for my younger self. I know it's a cheesy movie but who doesn't love gorillas and lasers lol.

[@davidrembert2682]

I am happy "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is coming out. I could retire my VHS.

[@Theomite]

I didn't even know it came out on VHS. I literally thought that it never came out on home video.

[@davidrembert2682]

@Theomite VHS and laserdisc

[@Windupchronic]

"Looking for Mr Goodbar" is a film I've been trying to find on home video for a while. It's dark AF. I was giddy when I saw it on the site yesterday. Already placed my order.

[@Eazy-E-40]

Looking for Mr goodbar definitely would have fit in the cinematographe line, but apparently VS was saying that this movie has been in the works for years and they started it long before they even thought of that line.

[@makeapathpresents]

Immediately pre-ordeed mine!! Say this in the drive in, absolutely loved it haha campy greatness

[@garyrichardson475]

Looking for Mr. Goodbar should have been a cinematograph. Nominated for two Oscars and one Golden Globe.Explicit subject matter for its time. Basically, it’s a drama. Great film! It’s never even been on Blu-ray. There’s a lot of 70s disco songs on the soundtrack they thought they would never be able to clear the rights to.

[@HypeIsHereMedia]

Yeah, you need to research Mr. Goodbar. This is a massive get for VinSyn, and will sell out at some point. I preordered it and Congo.

[@hednik]

I remember reading Congo before the movie came out and being pretty disappointed as a kid. I think it was because it wasn't as scary as the book was. I don't think I was expecting a All the corny humor and bad accents. But now when I watch it I absolutely love it and the '90s cheese that it is. I believe it came out the same year as Batman forever..

[@sprcrzy110]

I loved the double intro 😂

[@midlevelmedia]

It happens. No changing it now. Lol

[@sprcrzy110]

@midlevelmedia I love it!

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Congo is my Sesame Seed Cake!

[@greggdh1]

Love Bruce Campbell!

[@monkeker]

You forgot to look at the partner label releases.

[@PorkMarshmallow]

Cannibal: The Musical is such a classic! I’m so glad this is coming out. My DVD has been missing for years. You really, really should get it. If not for the amazing commentary. 😂

[@kevindudley9617]

I pre-ordered "Cannibal! The Musical", "Congo", "Blood Tracks" and "Takeshi Kitano Double Play: Violent Cop & Boiling Point". I then added "Blood Games" to my order as I noticed it was now in the going-out-of-print section.

[@jeoffrysmythe8270]

I’m super excited about Congo. It was one of my favorites as well when I was a kid. I still quote this movie on the regular. We must be around the same age ken. Great video 👏

[@peppersmith]

Yupper, Goodbar & Congo on my list...

[@johnhollo6881]

Thanks for the information Ken! I ordered Congo!

[@ryanmccormick8161]

Really solid announcements. I definitely got the Congo VSU because I’ve never seen it. I was going through the Partner Labels and I definitely need to grab that Brett Hart one because I missed out on the first slipcover. I still need to grab Navy Seals because it’s still over a 1000

[@tomboling2309]

I would say watch Congo first before paying 40 bucks plus for it. Bc Congo is an ok movie but not worthy of that higher price tag

[@ryanmccormick8161]

@ It’s part of a VSU line us collectors are trying to complete

[@themtgdude486]

I want this bad but $51 shipped is a lot.

[@BuckyH04]

Yeah man these prices are getting out of control

[@thomasevans4851]

If you're referring to Congo just wait for the halfway to black Friday sale in 2025 and it'll be 50% off. Congo is 10,000 I don't see it selling out.

[@bened22]

You have to make a bigger order so the shipping is only a fraction of the full price.

[@themtgdude486]

@ Do you think the limited edition version will still be available or only a standard edition will be available at that time?

[@bened22]

@@themtgdude486 This release doesn't seem to have a standard edition. Judging from the other VSU releases without a standard edition it seems unlikely that Congo sells out in a year. Because all other VSUs without a standard edition are also still available.

[@allankostyk5035]

I love Congo, I am going right now to pre-order it

[@chairz00]

Man that was one of my favorite movies growing up! And I was just thinking of it ...I can't wait!!

[@midlevelmedia]

Same here!

[@Darkcorestudio]

"stop eating my sesame cake" ......... "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE !!" 😂 Delroy Lindo how can you not love him in this. I loved this movie when it came out and owned it on various formats through the years so i am excited to have this on 4k now. Ordered it straight away and it will be my second Vinegar Syndrome release i buy hahaha.

[@midlevelmedia]

Haha. Nice!

[@kevinschmitt4050]

Arrow isn’t in the same league as VS. I see digital noise in a lot of their transfers. Second Sight and Indicator are the two European labels that peddle in perfection.

[@wilks2006]

If only these were cheaper to get in Canada

[@jjchmiel78]

Rumor is one of the secret titles is Jade. I really realllly reallllly hope the rumors are true. As a subscriber I don't have to worry as I am already getting Looking for Mr Goodbar and I place my pre-order for Congo.

[@scaps2200]

I picked up Congo and the Shudder exclusive Saloum which is a foreign action horror flick.

[@jonathangreen7398]

Congo was a great 90s flick. I enjoyed that movie back in the day. I had the movie on VHS. I just always heard that the Micheal Crichton book was so much better. Never read the book. But yeah man, good solid movie. Cool it’s coming out on 4K.

[@screamingeekmedia]

I got on their site right away. Ordered Congo. Was hoping for The Keep to get announced. But maybe it is one of the secret releases. But I am not blind-buying that way. So have to wait until BF to find out.

[@midlevelmedia]

I’m hoping for The Keep still as well, although they may be holding out for the beginning of the year? 🤷‍♂️

[@screamingeekmedia]

@@midlevelmedia yeah, as much as I want it, it would be better financially if it were next year. My wife is ready to kill me.

[@PyramidHead2124]

I’d kill for a new book accurate Congo.

[@corradoparris9679]

I preordered Looking for Mr. Goodbar 2 copies on Friday. Love to see An Officer And A Gentleman as that VS secret Black Friday release.

[@jjj_027]

i was going to buy it then i saw that price and said no thanks

[@chiefmegadeth]

I love Congo! Can't wait for 4k

[@stephannelson8780]

What was up with that beginning? 😂

[@midlevelmedia]

That’s what you call an unedited moment making it into the Final Cut of the video. Sorry about that. Lol

[@stephannelson8780]

@ that’s OK Ken. I’m not complaining. I was just curious I thought maybe I was losing my mind. 😂

[@michaelschiessl8357]

The year of Ken's favorites released..Hahaha good taste bro..love Congo and I'm here for all those great titles..Your Wife might be going crazy though!!😂

It’s been a great year for sure.

[@nicolascagegoodorbad198]

I’ve been wanting to buy this movie for a long time, I finally bought it a few weeks ago and now it’s getting a 4K 😩😩

[@cameroncloutier]

"Cannibal the Musical" is the film Trey Parker and Matt Stone made in college. It's hilarious and the music is amazing. Commentary is top 5 of all time.

[@JosephNYC66]

I heard this movie is terrible. I was close to ordering it because of Dylan Walsh but then I read some reviews. However, I did order LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR and CANNIBAL (sure it's terrible but I love musicals and enjoy it).

[@jcanada9405]

Oddly, I haven't seen any of these. I think I was in my bar years during Congo... Nice to see such rare and desired films for some many getting a chance.

[@midlevelmedia]

I think you’ll enjoy it. Very fun action adventure film with a great cast!

[@jcanada9405]

[@stephenmccomas7092]

I am super excited for Congo!

[@trevylangton22]

Omg love Congo!!!!!!

[@Theomite]

HOLY SHIT THEY FINALLY GOT *LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR* ??!!! I never thought I'd see that released in my lifetime! I gotta pre-order that shit before it sells out! I like CONGO but didn't think it would get this kind of treatment. Now I have to consider it, but there are a few other titles higher on my priority list. Money's also tight again. Yeah, VS puts Criterion to shame and the fact that Criterion doesn't seem to care is even more shameful.

[@midlevelmedia]

Everyone’s excitement for Goodbar makes me want to grab it.

[@Theomite]

@@midlevelmedia Most of us have never seen it. Music rights issues have kept it out of circulation on any home video format since the '80s at least. I just found out that it went to VHS and I didn't think it even got that far. It certainly never made it to DVD.

[@jpenir]

Outside of the always reliable Bruce Campbell, Congo kind of sucks. I have it on digital and thats fine enough for me. I'm anxiously awaiting their announcement of The Keep

[@michaelpitts7584]

I want Congo and Looking for Mr Goodbar. I don’t have either one and I really like both films

[@eldritchmorgasm4018]

"Congo", underrated movie, though not neccessarily a good live-action representation of the book. Here in Germany there's only the old DVD available, no BR. Same goes for other movies I'm waiting for, like the french WW1 "Mathilde" movie.

[@ajmhobby]

I also love Congo! I don’t know if I’m going to get this edition because I’m on an extremely limited budget. I may hold out for a cheaper version without all the extra stuff.

[@midlevelmedia]

I’m sure there will be a cheaper option on Amazon in a few months.

[@Anytyme06]

Would be interesting to get some insight into how they decide what goes in the line.

[@midlevelmedia]

The only rule I know of is that it has to be non-horror, which they’ve pretty much held to.

[@hossainrouf]

Is that supposed to be a scar or a fireball in his eye. It sure looks something else to my gutter mind.😂

[@sonnercampbell1702]

I keep hoping to see The Chase (1994) get a VSU, that movie feels tailor made for that sub label… maybe next time 🤞

[@midlevelmedia]

Hell yeah it does! I would love that to get a great release and edition! Also, The Phantom!

[@MovieChatter01]

I ordered so many titles this round. Both VS and Partner Labels. Crushed my wallet so no Criterion sale for me this month. I'm done but it's well worth it..

[@midlevelmedia]

VINSYN is doing great stuff right now, so definitely understand. I’ve only got my eye on a few Criterion’s to nab this month. Then I’m done.

[@Beetleejuicee]

CONGO VSU FUCK YES

[@jcaceres516]

Ridiculous prices

[@jonathannoble9465]

What is with the $65 retail price for a regular 4K VS slipcover release?! The same price as VSUs

[@midlevelmedia]

Is it that much for you? They’ve no doubt raised their prices, but it’s saying $42 for me?

[@jonathannoble9465]

@ No it’s $42 on sale but I’m saying the retail is $65 - which again is the same as a VSU. You think they made a mistake? Usually 4K slipcovers are $55 retail like The Howling II was.

[@chrisgoku2000]

CONGO is a great movie

[@cameroncloutier]

"Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is a true crime / horror drama about a woman who has one night stands until she meets up with a killer.

[@donsimpsonshead8809]

I’m a hell of a lot more excited for Looking for Mr. Goodbar than stupid Congo. Goodbar is genuinely great, but the cover is awful.

[@jonathangreen7398]

[@jeffro9252]

“Shocks the world” might be pushing it a bit. It’s cool, but maybe dial it back a bit with the crazy statements.

[@bestofboastworlds1883]

Congo does not suck Ken, its great. Ordered alongside Blood Tracks. Goodbar is not great, saw it about 20 yrs ago and remember it being incredibly depressing...

[@midlevelmedia]

Did I say it sucked? Lol… I thought I shared my excitement and love for it pretty clearly. Lol

[@robbiepayne8492]

Not alot for happy people with Congo that I have seen...atleast they will sell one

[@bbgothviolator8953]

Goodbar is welcomed but lets be honest here, these new releases are kind of lame

[@tomboling2309]

Congo is an ok movie but nobody was asking for a Congo 4k release & its definitely not worth the 40 bucks plus price tag. And the only people i can see paying 40 bucks plus for Congo 4k release will be the movie hoarder collectors that buy everything under the sun. And looking for Mr good bar is a good movie but not a movie I want to re-watch again or have in my collection. And the two secret titles I will wait & see what they are first before I pay 83 bucks for two titles that could be garbage titles releases
