Movie Madness

This week in physical media is filled with a number of titles on physical media you may have forgotten about. Some with good reason. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski are not referring to the one by Truffaut or the Nicolas Cage hits that somehow have a fanbase. No, they are talking about Rob Marshall Oscar bait, Peter Jackson in-between Tolkien, James Foley’s Chow Yun-Fat film and the “class of ‘92” anthology film. On the other foot there is a follow-up to Duck Soup and the beginning of one of the loveliest modern series for families. They even have some nice things to say about Steven Seagal but most of the love is saved for the Sofia Coppola film celebrating its 20th Anniversary.

The holiday movie (and awards) season is about to kick into high-gear so Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy will begin with eight reviews for you this week. A mass kidnapping in Korea turns into a greater horror for one mother (Paradise Lost) while Steve may think similarly about the latest Dr. Seuss adaptation (The Cat in the Hat). Lulu Wilson’s Nazi-kicker faces her greatest challenge (The Last Temptation of Becky) while one of our most legendary actors faces off against them in wartime (Jimmy). There’s a true life story of the fight for disability rights (Being Heumann) and the latest tale of friendship and grief from the creators of Saint Frances and Ghostlight (Mouse). Martin McDonough has CIA agents John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell on a fateful holiday (Wild Horse Nine) and, fresh from his greatest movie ever, the big lizard is back with a new enemy and a fresh round of terror and destruction (Godzilla Minus Zero).

November doesn’t kick off with a lot in physical media but the holidays are approaching and there might be something to jot down for your lists. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through the world of Harold and Maude and the phenomenon of those K-Pop Demon Hunters. You can get one of Sean Connery’s best performances or perhaps M. Night Shyamalan’s worst film (and that’s saying something.) Erik explains how much he hates Nicolas Cage’s It’s a Wonderful Life. And while it may not be for Peter, the historical significance of Gone with the Wind is still worth looking at.

October is ending but the movies seem to be never-ending as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have 13 more reviews for this week. After Erik catches up and shares his thoughts on You Can See Everything, they dive into documentaries involving a high-wire rescue (Hanging By A Wire), another trip up – and down – the mountain (Everest: The Other Side), the mystery of a 1980s bombing (Who Killed Alex Odeh?), behind-the-scenes again with the Coppola family (Making Marie Antoinette) as well as one of the greatest comedy shows of all-time (SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of). They remind you of their love from Sundance of John Turturro (The Only Living Pickpocket In New York). Spooky month ends with a dog breeder looking to expand their business (Breeder). Can a father and daughter move on from Nazi Germany (Fatherland)? Will Sacha Baron Cohen again expose our modern Nazi Germany (Ali G: Who Iz I?) Might Peter Berg literalize the metaphor between football and war (The Mosquito Bowl). Is there a frontrunner for the International Film Oscar? (La Bola Negra). Former soldier Liam Neeson has to drive fast from the cops (The Mongoose) and Ron Livingston moves next door to a holiday-loving family who may be up to no good (Christmas At The Kringles).

October is wrapping up and physical media has a lot of horror-adjacent titles to offer. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take a look at Guillermo Del Toro’s recent passion project getting the Criterion treatment. There are clown kidnappers, a monster on the streets of Paris, the teenage antichrist as well as a group of BMX riders. Glenn Ford has to deal with some other young punks, Julia Roberts & Clive Owen are corporate spies, William Powell & Myrna Loy team again and one of the funnier comedies of the 2020s that you likely missed gets an upgrade. Arrow resurrects another box set of home video action shlock but also Peter’s favorite Peter Jackson film. Finally, if you really want to frighten someone this Halloween show them John MacNaughton’s Chicago portrait of a serial killer who doesn’t wear a mask.
