Steve Prokopy joins Erik Childress to review six new movies; many of which are worth your attention. Steve handles a new teenage friendship from actress-turned-director Charlotte LeBon (Falcon Lake) and the origin story of LeBron James (Shooting Stars). Another true story gets a riveting treatment from director Tina Satter and star Sydney Sweeney (Reality) while Rob Savage uses Stephen King to try and shock scare us again (The Boogeyman). Celine Song delivers one of the more masterful big screen debuts with a “one that got away” tale (Past Lives) that could make a perfect companion piece to one of the most manically-alive animated films you have ever experienced (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse). 0:00 - Intro 4:20 - Falcon Lake 9:51 - Reality 27:47 - Shooting Stars 35:42 – The Boogeyman 48:10 - Past Lives  1:03:11 - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 1:24:52 - Outro

Some genuine classics on physical media this week getting the 4K treatment. And others that are not. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to get you caught up on your libraries including Memorial Day releases from 1991 and 1993. One of the great singular directorial efforts of all-time arrives in 4K as does one of the classics from a comic legend. One of the best from Wes Craven gets the polish and there are also plenty of other titles from Alan Rudolph, Sidney Lumet, Peter Greenaway and Looney Tunes to keep you busy while Erik is relishing one of his favorite films from the summer of 1984 and you can listen to his full commentary track right here. 0:00 - Intro 1:08 - Criterion (Thelma & Louise) 6:25 - Severin (Drowning by Numbers, Danza Macabra Vol. One: The Italian Gothic Collection) 13:37 - Warner Archive (Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 1, Hey There Its Yogi Bear, King Solomon's Mines) 22:40 - Kino (Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XIV, The Night of the Hunter (4K)) 30:28 - Universal (Inside, Spinning Gold) 39:48 - Sony (65 (4K),Cliffhanger (4K)) 45:08 - Paramount (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (4K), Transformers Ultimate 6-Movie Collection (4K Steelbook), The Nutty Professor (1963) (4K)) 55:28 - Shout!

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have nine movies to review on the show and the best one may be the one they told you about in January at Sundance from Nicole Holofcener and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (You Hurt My Feelings). A couple of harrowing documentaries come close involving how police turn the tables on survivors of sexual assault (Victim/Suspect) and a tale of domestic assault, opioids and ultimately justice (The Fire That Took Her). A pair of stand-up comedians have made movies about their dads (About My Father, The Machine) and Gerard Butler is on the run again (Kandahar). The pair could not resist a title that was too intriguing to pass up (Exorcism in Utero) and a new genre of horror continues in more ways than one (Influencer). Finally, Disney has another live-action remake of one of their animated classics. Just how far does The Little Mermaid sink on that list? 0:00 - Intro 1:02 - You Hurt My Feelings 14:24 - Exorcism in Utero 25:07 - Victim/Suspect  37:36 – The Fire That Took Her 50:13 - Influencer  1:00:10 – The Machine 1:10:54 - About My Father  1:28:52 - Kandahar 1:35:29 – The Little Mermaid 1:52:30 - Outro

If ever there was a week to talk about the importance of physical media it is this one. Especially with the number of oddball titles you will probably never see on a streaming service. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk some of these rare titles including Alan Ladd as Jay Gatsby, a Paris cat man, Michael Parks in love with Ann-Margret, an old Jane Fonda film recently making headlines and a film written by Ruby Dee. There are also your general weird titles like perhaps a couple of the best films made by Roland Emmerich and Jason Statham as well as Peter’s choice for the best film transition in cinema history. Plus, if physical media is not there to preserve this week’s Criterion offering for generations, then what are we even doing? 0:00 - Intro 1:31 - Criterion (Petite Maman) 6:39 - Imprint (Bus Riley's Back In Town, The Catman of Paris, The Great Gatsby (1949), The Long Voyage Home, The Spiral Road, Stargate (Ultimate Edition), Uptight) 26:33 - Kino (Joy House, My Man Godfrey, The Worst Ones, Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece + Tintin and the Blue Oranges) 36:27 - Lions Gate (Crank (4K Steelbook)) 38:44 - Warner Bros.
