On this weeks episode of Physical Media Isn't Dead, It Just Smells Funny, we have some excellent titles to kick off 2022. Imprint Films brings us a thrilling revenge film starring Kirk Douglas titled Last Train From Gun Hill, and two horror adjacent titles with the folk infused Tam Lin directed by Roddy McDowall and Sam Raimi's gothic "American Giallo", The Gift. Cohen Film Collection puts out the original uncut version of the British Rock n' Roll musical Expresso Bongo (where you will believe a mans stage name can in fact just be "Bongo Herbert"), while Kino Lorber doubles up on gentle heist movies that proves maybe there is honor among thieves with Gambit (starring My-Ko-Kane and Shirley MacLaine) and Bill Forsyth and John Sayles Breaking In.
Arrow Video serves with two kind of highly anticipated titles. Mario Bava's final effort Shock (a.k.a Beyond The Door II) gets a deluxe treatment that far and away better than the Anchor Bay double feature DVD from a million years ago, and Yasuzo Masumura's Red Angel is here to make you ponder than nature of grace and healing. Finally, Criterion Collection puts out now TWO TIME Oscar nominated director Jane Campion's signature film, The Piano to help us ponder just how hot (and tender) Harvey Keitel can be...IN 4K!
It's a great way to kick off the year and I as always, I hope you find something that sings to you and can find its way on to your shelf.
