Movie Madness

It’s Blu-ray time again with Erik Childress and Sergio Mims. They marvel at some new 4K releases by reminding how great Speed is and put up a defense for Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs as well. Sergio talks about one of the earlier variations of a Groundhog Day-esque scenarios and a great Criterion title to catch-up on before its remake. Erik talks up one of the best comedies of the year as well as one of the best anthology films in years. There is talk of Bob Hope, more Mel Brooks, the tempestuous relationship between Marlon Brando and Rita Moreno (in real-life and on screen), and then things get dirty with The Hot Spot and Mike Hammer. Finally, they can’t help but deliver a tribute to Jackie Chan with the release of one of his masterpieces.   0:00 - Intro 2:31 – Disney (Speed 4K) 15:46 – Criterion (Nightmare Alley) 22:18 – PBS (Hemingway) 25:31 – Cohen Media (It Happened Tomorrow) 34:29 – Scorpion (Trackdown) 40:13 – Lionsgate (Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar) 45:50 – RLJE (The Mortuary Collection) 50:33 – Warner
