GO!Reel Film Chronicles fans rejoice! We're taking a spin around the circuit today with the often misunderstood classic SPEED RACER, directed by the incredibly talented Wachowskis.

It's a packed line-up of directors this week on The Interviews, folks. Directorpalooza? First up, we bring you an extended excerpt from our spoiler special interview with The Mandalorian And Grogu, Jon Favreau, who tells Chris Hewitt about his intentions behind the first big-screen Star Wars film in seven years. Then Chris leaps onto Zoom to have a lovely natter with the great Joe Dante about his beloved (eventually) 1987 sci-fi comedy, InnerSpace, which is out now on 4K UHD, and English director Mike Figgis about his hard-hitting, Oscar-winning drama, Leaving Las Vegas, which has also received the 4K UHD treatment. The Figgis chat is an extended excerpt from an hour-long deep dive into the movie which, like the Favreau interview and Team Empire diving deep into The Mandalorian And Grogu, can be found over on our spoiler special feed. empirespoilerspecials.com, if you haven't already taken the plunge. Enjoy!
Something a little different, as today we review the recently remastered in 4K from a 35mm original camera negative by Kino Lorber, a boutique Blu-ray distributor. This new edition comes in both 4KUHD (two-disc) and Blu-ray (single disc) and can be purchased at the Kino Lorber website. Along with a new master of the film, each set (either two-disc or single) comes with audio commentary from directorSimon Wincer, a new interview with star Billy Zane, and an interview with film composer David Newman. A trailer is also included. At Chronicle Chamber, we picked up a copy for review. Watch or listen to our video review, and read on for our impressions of the new master, as well as special feature highlights. The New MasterOne of the elements to this film that Simon Wincer frequently comes back to in his audio commentary is the lighting, and it's for good reason. This new edition of The Phantom is beautiful. Compared to previous releases, the color and visuals are crisp, clean, and warm. There was a decision to use natural lighting as opposed to filters during production, and it pays off nicely. In outdoor adventure sequences, the natural lighting makes the action feel real and believable. In closed settings, such as Xander Drax and Diana Palmer's introduction scene early on in the film, a functional, expository sequence feels glamorous and stunning. When Dave Palmer agrees to send his niece, Diana, on a quest during this sequence, this new master captures the warmth and ornate decor of the art deco style of the 1930s. The sound is also markedly better than previous editions, making for an overall enjoyable rewatch that feels closer to what audiences experienced in theaters 30 years ago. The Special FeaturesDirector Simon Wincer's Audio CommentaryAudio commentaries can be hit or miss with many Bluray and 4KUHD releases, even from boutique companies. The Simon Wincer commentary included with this new edition of The Phantom lands right in the middle. It's not necessarily exciting, but it's not the worst commentary either. Wincer does highlight some of the elements and motifs he was going for, and he does spend a great deal of time talking about the use of natural lighting versus filtering. For Phantom fans looking for answers to decisions this adaptation makes, like why Guran was changed into a child helper of The Phantom or why a skeleton strangles a grave robber to death, there aren't any answers here. The quality of the audio commentary, at times, is also suspect. Right off the bat, there's a noticeable audio lag, as if this was recorded over Zoom or some other online meeting software. That's a bit of a disappointment. Billy Zane Interview: “Kismet in the Jungle”Thirty years after the release of the film, Billy Zane is a master craftsman at discussing The Phantom film. Many of the ideas and motifs he touches upon in this new interview have been covered elsewhere in talks at Supanova Con and other interviews. Zane highlights his love of the character stemming from collecting Frew Comics on visits to Australia and notes that, in his performance, he was trying to embody the classic adventure films of classic Hollywood from the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, John Wayne, and others. This interview has the highest production values to it, and for fans looking to see Zane wax poetic about all things The Phantom, it's a good interview. David Newman Interview: “Slam Evil: Scoring The Phantom”David Newman is a phenomenal composer, and to see him among the interviews included in this new release is something out of a dream for a huge fan of film scores (such as myself). This interview was conducted over Zoom or some other type of online meeting software, so the production value is a stark difference compared to Zane's interview. For film score enthusiasts, the soundtrack to The Phantom is a hidden gem. It's fast, rhythmic, complicated, and powerful. For Newman, putting this score together was mostly done on instinct and was something akin to a nightmare, which is unfortunate to learn. In the interview, Newman states that scoring The Phantom was a last-minute rush job that compiled hours and hours of work over a very short period, often with little to no sleep. While Newman doesn't have great memories of working on The Phantom, it's the film in his IMDB that he worked the hardest on. For those looking to learn a little about what's buried in the beat and rhythm of the soundtrack, Newman speaks to this. For Those Who Came In Late… What's the verdict?For Phantom “phans” who want to revisit this adaptation or film fans looking to tap into a little 90s nostalgia, this new master is absolutely stunning and the best version of The Phantom commercially available. For collectors who love to dive deep into special features and bonus content included in boutique collections like these, it's a bit of a miss. Apart from the Billy Zane interview, the other two special features feel hastily compiled to pad the set, and it's not worth the spend if you're primarily looking to learn more about the production and behind-the-scenes of The Phantom. Verdict: Buy it for the film, not the special features. Support the show

"Wuthering Heights" is a 2026 romantic period drama film produced, written, and directed by Emerald Fennell. Loosely based on the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, the film is a reinterpretation intended by Fennell to "recreate the feeling of a teenage girl reading this book for the first time." Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi respectively star as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, alongside Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell in supporting roles. The film premiered earlier this year and was a box-office success, grossing $242 million worldwide. Production Designer Susie Davies & Set Decorator Charlotte Dirickx were kind enough to spend some time talking with Ema Sasic, and I spoke with Cinematographer Linus Sandgren about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream at home on HBO Max and will be available to own on 4K UHD and Blu-Ray. Thank you, and enjoy!

Make a Logo on Fiverr At NAB 2026, the National Association of Broadcasters show floor in Las Vegas delivered a clear message: creators are no longer “small productions.” From AI-powered tools to full broadcast workflows, today's YouTuber is running a studio—and the gear on display proves it. This walkthrough highlights the most important innovations in video production, audio production, and AI Video Production, showcasing the new products shaping content creation right now. Sony Camera App & Wireless Control: Smarter Multi-Cam Production Sony's latest camera control app is all about wireless flexibility. Instead of physically adjusting each camera, creators can now tweak focus, color, and exposure remotely in real time. This is a game changer for multi-camera YouTube setups, especially when matching shots across different Sony bodies. Add in their 5G-enabled transmitter hardware, and you're looking at a future where remote production—from events to mobile shoots—becomes seamless and scalable. Epidemic Sound AI Tools: Smarter Audio for Video Creators Audio production is getting a major AI boost. Epidemic Sound introduced tools that analyze your footage and suggest music tracks automatically, placing them directly on a timeline. Even better, the “Adapt” feature lets you extend or reshape sections of music—perfect for pacing YouTube edits. Instead of replacing composers, AI here acts as a creative assistant, speeding up the workflow for creators who need fast turnaround. HP Z Series Workstations: Portable Power for Video Editing HP's ZBook lineup continues to dominate mobile editing. With high-end Intel and NVIDIA RTX configurations, these machines can handle multi-camera edits, color grading, and even light live streaming on-site. For bigger productions, their desktop workstations push into serious territory with massive RAM and storage options—ideal for creators dealing with 4K and beyond. Neewer Teleprompter X17 II: Professional Delivery Made Easy The Neewer X17 II teleprompter isn't just for reading scripts—it's a full communication tool. With app-based controls, adjustable displays, and flexible mounting, it lets creators maintain eye contact during interviews, Zoom calls, or scripted content. For YouTubers looking to tighten delivery and boost professionalism, this is a simple but powerful upgrade. OBSBOT Tiny 3: AI Tracking Gets Even Better OBSBOT's Tiny 3 builds on its AI tracking reputation with smoother motion and improved responsiveness. Whether you're pacing during a presentation or recording a dynamic tutorial, the camera follows you automatically. The added mounting flexibility and improved image performance make it one of the best webcam-style upgrades for solo creators. OBSBOT Talent II: All-in-One Streaming Studio (Coming Soon) The upcoming Talent II is shaping up to be a powerhouse. With multiple HDMI inputs, Wi-Fi 6, 5G support, and battery operation, it's designed for portable, multi-camera live streaming. Built-in failover connectivity means your stream stays live even if one network drops—huge for on-location YouTube productions. Elgato Stream Deck & Bitfocus Buttons: Total Production Control Elgato continues to dominate creator control systems. The evolution of Stream Deck into enterprise-grade setups—combined with Bitfocus Buttons—means you can automate nearly every part of your production. From triggering scenes to controlling lighting and overlays, this system transforms a desk into a command center for serious creators. Panasonic AW-UE150A PTZ Camera: Broadcast Control in a Compact Form Panasonic's PTZ camera lineup brings broadcast-level control to smaller studios. With joystick operation, programmable presets, and smooth zoom capabilities, it's ideal for live shows, podcasts, or hybrid events where multiple angles are needed without extra operators. PTZOptics Prototype Camera: Next-Gen Broadcast Flexibility PTZOptics teased a powerful prototype capable of 4K60 recording with extensive connectivity options including SDI, HDMI, and fiber. While details are still under wraps, this camera signals where broadcast and creator gear are merging—offering pro features at more accessible levels. PTZOptics PowerLink: Wireless Camera Connectivity Simplified PowerLink acts like a wireless bridge for cameras, enabling remote placement without running cables across a venue. It supports PoE and battery operation, making it ideal for sports, events, or roaming camera setups in large production environments. SanDisk USB-C Storage: Faster Mobile Workflows SanDisk continues to refine creator storage with USB-C and MagSafe-compatible drives. These solutions allow creators to offload footage directly from phones, preview content, and move files quickly into editing workflows—saving valuable time during production days. ATOMOS Ninja TX & TX Go: Monitoring Meets Flexibility ATOMOS introduced compact monitoring solutions with touchscreen controls, LUT support, and wireless capabilities. These devices function as both confidence monitors and color-checking tools, giving creators more control over their footage in real time. OSEE Omni 12 ISO Switcher: Affordable Multi-Cam Production The Omni 12 ISO brings high-end switching features—like multiple inputs, ISO recording, and multi-stream output—into a more accessible price range. It's a strong competitor for creators who want broadcast-style switching without breaking the bank. Proton Mini Cameras: Tiny Cameras, Big Shots Proton's miniature cameras are designed for tight spaces—think car interiors, rigs, or creative angles. While they lack automation features, their size opens up creative possibilities that standard cameras simply can't achieve. Domo RX/TX Wireless Systems: Ultra-Compact Broadcasting Domo's wireless transmitters are built for drones and mobile setups, offering HEVC transmission in extremely small packages. For creators experimenting with aerial or POV footage, this technology expands what's possible without bulky gear. YoloLiv Yolobox Extreme: All-in-One Streaming Solution The Yolobox Extreme combines switching, streaming, recording, and guest integration into one unit. With support for multiple inputs and platforms, it's ideal for creators running live shows, podcasts, or hybrid events without a full production team. Platypod Mounts: Flexible Camera Positioning Anywhere Platypod offers a modular alternative to traditional tripods. With adjustable mounts and compact designs, creators can place cameras in unconventional spots—perfect for creative angles or tight shooting environments. RodeLink II UHF Wireless Microphone: Reliable Audio Anywhere Rode's new UHF wireless system delivers stronger, more reliable connections than traditional 2.4GHz setups. With onboard recording, 32-bit float audio, and rugged construction, it's built for professional interviews and field recording—exactly what YouTubers need when audio can't fail. Build Your Production Desk with B&H: Creator Studio in a Box B&H showcased a complete creator desk setup, combining switchers, monitors, audio gear, and ergonomic furniture. It highlights how modern creators are building fully integrated studios—even in small spaces. ASUS ProArt Systems: AI-Ready Creative Workstations ASUS ProArt systems continue to push into AI-powered workflows. With RTX 5090 GPUs, high color-accuracy displays, and customizable controls, these machines are built for editing, rendering, and emerging AI-driven video production tools. Canon CJ20ex5b IASE S: Broadcast Optics for High-End Production Canon's professional lens system delivers 4K UHD performance with a wide focal range and precise control. While aimed at broadcast professionals, it shows the level of quality and flexibility creators can aspire to as their productions grow. Check out the Geekazine Merch, including "I AM AI " T-Shirt.

Duncan is here to review a fascinating outlier in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue, Fear in the Night trades gothic horror for something far more intimate and unsettling. Directed by Jimmy Sangster, this psychological chiller leans heavily on atmosphere and performance, with Judy Geeson delivering a genuinely gripping turn as a woman unsure whether she's being hunted or losing her grip on reality. Supported by the ever-reliable Peter Cushing and a quietly enigmatic Joan Collins, the film stands as one of Hammer's more unusual experiments—less iconic, perhaps, but rich in tension and worth rediscovery.This new Collector's Edition from Studio Canal marks the film's worldwide 4K debut, giving Sangster's eerie, stripped-back thriller a fresh lease of life. The release includes a brand-new 4K restoration presented on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray, alongside a strong set of extras and physical additions for collectors. Features include: 4K UHD & Blu-ray discs New 4K restorationAudio commentariesFeaturettes including: The Fragile Mind and End of TermTheatrical trailer, stills gallery64-page booklet with new essaysBrand-new artworkTwo posters & a release date of 23rd March 2026.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn't Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItFear in the Night:Duncan: 4Thanks to Studio Canal & Fetch PR for the review copy of this movie.Our new RSS Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rssCheck out the show on Anchor, iTunes, TuneIn & on Stitcher Radio.Please leave us feedback on iTunes, podcastunderthestairs@gmail.com and follow us on Facebook.TIMECODE FEAR IN THE NIGHT BLURAY REVIEW00:00:00 Intro00:02:20 Unboxing00:04:02 Fear in the Night Review00:09:05 Special Features00:13:55 Closing
"One Battle After Another" is an American black comedy action-thriller film produced, written, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It is inspired by the 1990 novel "Vineland" by Thomas Pynchon and features an ensemble cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio, with Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti (in her film debut). The story follows an ex-revolutionary who is forced back into his former life of violence when a corrupt military officer pursues him and his daughter. With a budget of $130–175 million, it is the most expensive film of Anderson's career. It garnered widespread acclaim and numerous accolades. These include three wins at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards (including Best Picture), four wins at the 83rd Golden Globes (including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy), one win and a record seven nominations at the 32nd Actor Awards (including Outstanding Performance by a Cast), six wins at the 79th British Academy Film Awards (including Best Film), and thirteen nominations at the 98th Academy Awards (including Best Picture). The American Film Institute also listed the film among the top ten films of 2025, and it won five awards from the National Board of Review (including Best Film), as well as Best Picture prizes from the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the National Society of Film Critics. Teyana Taylor and cinematographer Michael Bauman were kind enough to spend some time speaking with Next Best Picture Owner & Editor In Chief Matt Neglia. Ema Sasic spoke with Chase Infiniti, and Brendan Hodges spoke with the film's editor, Andy Jurgensen. You can listen to all of these interviews below.

Actor Alex Winter may be best known as the Bill half of Bill and Ted -- and he's currently treading the boards with his counterpart from the Bill & Ted movies, Keanu Reeves, in a Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. But his body of work includes a ton of other films and tv shows, with roles both in front of and behind the camera. One project he co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in is the indelibly out-there 1993 comedy Freaked, which has just gotten a 4K UHD restoration and digital & BluRay release. Jordan and Alex talk about all that and more in this week's episode, along with the creative force that showed Alex both his way into Hollywood and his way through the work: silent comedy icon Buster Keaton, and in particular his films Sherlock, Jr. and The General.Then Jordan has one quick(ish) thing to say about what The Devil Wears Prada 2 needs to do if it wants her seal of cinematic approval.

They share stories behind the coolest deaths, how veteran stuntwoman Yvette Ferguson came out of retirement to become the oldest person ever set on fire on camera, the films that inspired them to become directors, and the episode of Goosebumps that Zach starred in as a kid! Final Destination Bloodlines is now available on digital and on 4K UHD on July 22! In the Movie Review, Mike talks about 28 Years Later starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. Mike talks about what sets it apart in the franchise, why it’s one of the most beautiful horror films he’s watched and why it is what he describes to be as ‘butt drenching’. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me from Nowhere which is an upcoming biographical musical drama film about the iconic singer.
