Movie Madness

Physical media certainly has a theme this week with a number of interesting couplings and the music they make between them. Speaking of interesting couplings, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski are your guide through it all. They include a little Martin & Lewis, Rock Hudson & Claudia Cardinale and even Lana Turner & Ricardo Montalban. ¿Quién Es Más Macho? There is J-horror and modern horror, a less-anointed Scorsese film plus Catherine Deneuve & Alain Delon. Peter makes the case for a Tim Burton film celebrating its 30th Anniversary as one of his best and Erik recounts the personal connection to a still underseen film from the director of Once.

After a week off the Friday reviews are back in what looks to be a jam-packed August. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy do a little catch-up to get Steve’s thoughts on the new Spider-Man and Erik’s on the dumped M3GAN universe film (Soulm8te). They have a pair of documentaries to talk about including the latest from the great Penny Lane about an owl that escaped from the Central Park Zoo (Wild Inside) and the Girl Scouts annual sale through the eyes of the labor force (Cookie Queens). There is a comedy about a Jewish summer camp (The Floaters). Mysteries are abound when a lord takes a stand against a warlord in 16th century Japan (The Samurai and the Prisoner) and a strange storm keeps a family from leaving their house (The Last House). Eli Roth is back with some sinister child mayhem (Ice Cream Man) as are the Broken Lizard gang with the characters that put them on the map (Super Troopers 3). Finally, can you make a rom-com set on the evening when pre-marital sex is legal (One Night Only)? The duo have questions.

The beginning of each month always seems to be slow for physical media but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have some choice titles for you, especially if you ever wanted to see James Cagney and Mickey Rooney do Shakespeare. A couple hit comedies from Universal get a 4K upgrade as does one of Christopher Nolan’s favorite movies. You can also see the Todd Haynes film that helped put Julianne Moore on the map and one of the great films about defending the First Amendment, as timely today as it was 30 years ago about a time a couple decades before then.

Time for another special episode as Erik Childress is joined by comic book expert, Erik Laws, to break down the latest entry in the Tom Holland Spider-Man Universe. After perhaps reaching a peak with No Way Home, the series has a new director and an opportunity to rebuild in more ways than one. The dynamic Erik duo discuss what works and what doesn’t work about the film. What is The Punisher’s role in all this and does he even belong? Literally, what is Sadie Sink’s role and does her mystery reveal add or detract from the future of the MCU? There is a lot to cover from the action to Holland & Zendaya’s chemistry in another super-sized look at the latest from Marvel.
