CW: This episode discusses cinematic sexual violence. The founder of Fun City Editions, Jonathan Hertzberg, joins the podcast from New York City to discuss the boutique video label and their latest blu-ray release, 1983's Deep in the Heart, aka Handgun, directed by Ken Loach's longtime English producer Tony Garnett. Deep in the Heart, a brutal portrayal of American gun culture as seen from an outsider's perspective, stars the undersung actress Karen Young in her screen debut as a Boston schoolteacher working in Dallas who is groomed and then sexually assaulted by a well-liked local attorney and antique gun collector. She gets nowhere trying to get the police and the church to support her quest for justice, but gets all the help she needs from the local gun club, and transformed by the culture and her experience, plans her revenge. The film was bought by Warner Bros. not to release the film properly, but to keep it from interfering with the commercial prospects of their upcoming Clint Eastwood release with a similar theme, Sudden Impact. Deep in the Heart is the kind of film this label specializes in: films that have for various reasons been forgotten in the modern age but deserve to be restored, reissued and rediscovered. Jonathan gives us insight into the process and the challenges of locating and reviving these catalogue titles, and how Deep in the Heart still speaks to contemporary American concerns over 40 years later.

Meet Jonathan Hertzberg. After years of working for companies like IFC Films and Kino-Lorber, he decided to start Fun City Editions — a boutique home video label that specializes in re-issuing overlooked movies from the ‘70s and ‘80s on a stellar roster of collectible Blu-Ray releases. It's a totally DIY operation that he runs out of his home in New York (think of Jon as the Gabe of forgotten cinema) — and it's attracted the attention of hardcore cinephiles everywhere. Fun City's newest offering is the 1971 gem T.R. BASKIN — filmed in Chicago and starring Candice Bergen — and it just so happens that Ben and Scott recorded the audio commentary on the disc. So we had Jon on the show to ask him what he was thinking. And while he was here, we asked him to help us pick the best Chicago movies on a new FunCityChicago installment of WHAT'S THE BEST?!? The answers may surprise you. At least Gabe's will.

Ep. 146: Fun City with Margaret Barton-Fumo and Jonathan Hertzberg, from Morvern Callar to Heartbreakers Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I'm your host, Nicolas Rapold. Critic and ol' pal Margaret Barton-Fumo clued me in on the Fun City Editions label, founded and run by Jonathan Hertzberg. It's a Blu-ray and music imprint with a particular penchant for 1980s movies that have fallen through the cracks over the years—such as Heartbreakers, starring Peter Coyote, or Cutter's Way, with Jeff Bridges and John Heard—as well as other fine films such as Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar (which by coincidence I recently introduced at the Roxy Cinema). We talk about all of these titles, plus others, and at the end, Jonathan and Margaret (who hosts the show No Pussyfooting on kpiss.fm) have some cool recent viewing to share.

Marking a mini-milestone, cohosts Dino and Mike tear their hearts out in I Eat Movies #25: Heartbreakers (1984). Joined by their very first special guest, Jonathan Hertzberg of Fun City Editions, the trio discuss at length writer/director Bobby Roth's early beginnings with a quartet of independent dramas before ascending to a storied career in both film and television. Highlighting Fun City Editions' latest release and its themes of friendship, male insecurity, romance and communication, the fellas examine this proto-bromance that features universally solid turns from the likes of Peter Coyote (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), Nick Mancuso (Tell Me That You Love Me), Carol Wayne (Surf II) and more. In addition, we dissect the electric sounds of Tangerine Dream's remarkable score and Michael Ballhaus' (After Hours) beautiful photography in this deeply layered gem not seen on home video since the VHS era and now resurrected for the first time in HD and loaded with bonus features! Don't feel blue and cheer up, I Eat Movies #25: Heartbreakers (1984) is here to be your friend. Heartbreakers is available now from Fun City Editions at www.VinegarSyndrome.com Fun City Editions can be found on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and at www.funcityeditions.com

This weeks joint A Place For Film/Physical Media Isn't Dead, It Just Smells Funny episode is a special one. Artist and graphic designer Drusilla Adeline made her way down to the IU Cinema to chat about her work as an artist designing some of the best and most instantly recognizable work for distributors like Criterion, Kino Lorber, Arrow, Vinegar Syndrome and Fun City Editions. She discusses her non-traditional art background and then dives into the wonderful period of discovering cinema in her youth and how that opened her world as a queer woman. Things then turn to discussion of her latest collaboration with Jonathan Hertzberg and Fun City Editions with their latest release, Radio On. It's was an honor to have who is essentially the "Cal Schenkel of Criterion" on the podcast and also just a lovely evening of gushing about what movies mean to two cinephiles from Indiana. You can check out more of Drusilla's work at her website: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/ You can order Radio On from Fun City Editions through Vinegar Syndrome: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/radio-on-fun-city-editions

In this episode, we discuss the the Blu-ray of RADIO ON (1979; dir. Christopher Petit) released by Fun City Editions, a partner label to Vinegar Syndrome.

Believe it or not, I've been doing these reviews for over a year at this point and it's been lovely watching how much it's all grown. This originally started with me desperately wanting to review the Criterion Collection's The Complete Films of Agnès Varda boxset and it has grown into something I couldn't imagine. Over the past 12 months, this has gone from just the lovely folks over at Kino Lorber and the Criterion Collection to also working with other lovely folks over at Arrow Video, Fun City Editions, GKIDS, Code Red, MVD Entertainment, Synapse Films, and Cohen Film Collection to help bring awareness to the wide world of well-curated and pristinely-packed cinema you could experience from the comfort and safety of your home with no more than a TV and a Blu-ray player (no internet required). This started as a way to keep people engaged with repertory and arthouse titles while theaters were closed and tech companies continued to gobble up the scope of cinema, but it's now evolved into blog discovery and being intentional and passionate about cinema I consume. It's been great hearing all the feedback over the past 12 months and getting to hear from people who found this column by chance. I love doing it and I hope you guys still like listening to and reading it. So what better way to celebrate a one-year anniversary than with the addition of two new distributors! From the UK but bearing “All Region” gifts comes Imprint Films with its releases of Basil Dearden's penultimate film, The Assassination Bureau starring late greats Oliver Reed, Telly Savalas, and of course Diana Rigg, a romp about assassins who clearly don't understand there are more efficient ways to kill a person than bombs (more on that later). They also have released a handsome boxset containing both the 1951 Anthony Asquith/Michael Redgrave and 1994 Mike Figgis/Albert Finney adaptations of Terrence Rattigan's The Browning Version. Also making their debut is the long-awaited and oft-asked-for Vinegar Syndrome! We're starting off with their exclusive release of the very exciting reconstruction of the nearly lost and soon-to-be-cult-favorite New York Ninja. We also have our usual suspects with Kino Lorber giving us releases of director John G. Avildsen and composer Bill Conti's unlikely but welcome follow-up to Rocky, Slow Dancing in the Big City starring unlikely romantic lead Paul Sorvino. John Huston's Freud biopic starring Montgomery Clift and Susannah York makes a welcome appearance, which prompts me to once again think about what makes a biopic work artistically in the first place. There is also the season 1 release of Rod Serling's horror-tinged Twilight Zone follow-up Night Gallery. Arrow Video brings us two welcome releases for cinephiles who have their sights set on lesser-known Japanese genre cinema: Gamera director Noriaki Yuasa's adaptation of Kazuo Umezu's manga “Hebi shōjo (Snake Girl)” into a horror film aimed to traumatize children everywhere, The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch, and there's also the genre-bending mash-up that is Shinji Somai's Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, which somehow threads the needle between quiet coming-of-age drama, yakuza movie, and Japanese “idol movie.” Finally, we have my pick of the month from Fun City Editions with their recent release of Christopher Petit's New German cinema-inspired and new wave-scored British road movie Radio On, a gem I hope won't remain hidden for long. After a year of doing this, I hope some of you have found something you've enjoyed that you would have otherwise missed or overlooked, and if you haven't yet, I hope this month can change that.

In this episode, we discuss the recently released blu-ray (by Fun City Editions, partner label to Vinegar Syndrome) of DEATH RIDE TO OSAKA (dir. Jonathan Kaplan; 1983).

This week on A Place For Film, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Fun City Editions founder Jonathan Hertzberg to talk to him about his experience starting up a boutique blu-ray label in an already crowded landscape. We also get into his passions as a programmer and his time as an IU alumni in The Department of Communication and Culture. After that, we dive into Fun City Editions latest release of a trio of "Golden Era" TV movies titled "Primetime Panic" and how they really illustrate a very specific moment in cinema history. Jonathan was an absolute joy to talk to, and it's always nice to talk to another collector about our sickness. I hope you enjoy the episode and if it so moves you, you can purchase Primetime Panic here: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/primetime-panic-fun-city-editions

There's a first time for everything, and here's the first WUH Blu-Ray Review. The love for RANCHO DELUXE continues with a break-down of Fun City Editions' release of the film, its first appearance on Blu-Ray. This rambling, low-stakes tale of the New West has won me over, but does this release do it justice? Listen and find out.

This week Jonathan Hertzberg of Fun City Editions returns to the show to discuss Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop. We discuss Hellman's career, James Taylor and The Beach Boys, and how neither of us are car guys. Head to ColumbusvHughes.com for extensive show notes and links to where you can find Jonathan.

Todays episodes focuses on Fun City Editions most recent release: Rancho Deluxe. A slacker western about how the west was done. Take a listen and find out why I loved this movie and this release so much.

Well, folks, things have heated up considerably since I started doing these reviews last fall. I've reached out to so many great distributors and all of them have been kind, helpful, and generous with what they allow access to and there are some genuinely amazing new discoveries this past month. Joining the round-up we have Arrow Video with its release of post-war Japanese New Wave director Yasuzo Masumura's cult satire Giant and Toys, a movie about avarice and the water/vinegar mix of western influence on Japanese salaryman culture. In association with Arrow, MVD's “Rewind Collection” has put out an extended director's cut of a 1997 Hong Kong action-cinema-inspired barnburner, Drive. Criterion comes in strong with its own underrated film in the Tyrone Power carny-noir Nightmare Alley, based off of the controversial and extremely racy novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham. Fun City Editions returns this month with a little seen Robert Forrest/Nancy Kwan two-hander called Walking the Edge, a low-budget and slick-sounding neo-noir and revenge film. However, our main segment focuses on two art-centric docs released by Kino Lorber: the impassioned and red-hot Chris McKim documentary about queer East Village artist David Wojnarowicz, Wojanrowicz: F**k You You F*ggot F**ker, as well as the more whimsical and pragmatic look into graphic artist M.C. Escher's process, life, and dreams with M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity. Joining me for that segment will be the lovely and engaging new Operations and Visual Arts Manager at the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation, Amanda Hutchins! Honestly, May has probably been the most interesting month to date, filled with movies packing much style, heft, and aesthetic. Give it a listen and I'm sure you'll find something to watch while the cicadas hum in the background as spring winds down and summer starts peeking its head through. If you want to read my thoughts on some films that didn't quite make the cut, head on over to the IU Cinema Blog and check those out!

Sometimes the movies reviewed for Physical Media Isn't Dead just don't show up when my deadlines are long past due and usually it wouldn't be a huge issue, but considering that Fun City Editions went out of their way to send me a copy of Michael Ritchie's seemingly under talked about film Smile in the mail, I figured I'd make some space for some conversation. I'm so happy I did! In this short episode I talk about why Smile is such a funny and sharp movie that successfully walks the satire line. I hope after you listen, you decide to give the film a chance the next time you're browsing for something new to you and want something that hasn't been talked about to death. You wont be sorry. You can pick up a copy of Smile from Fun City Editions, here Featuring the song "JM" by the band Snaarj.
