Just because Erik Childress is headed to the Toronto Film Festival doesn't mean that he doesn't have you covered in the physical media department while he's gone. Peter Sobczynski and him go over two weeks worth of releases including Sidney Lumet's incredible debut and Jon Favreau's as well. There is also Mike Nichols' final film as well as one of the great (if not greatest) film noirs of all-time. There are incredible documentaries ranging from the horrors of the Holocaust to the horrors of the highway. Warner Bros is doing Looney Tunes right for a change while Arrow does right by their star-studded Robert Towne noir. Finally, the newly formed Toy Robot Video does right by all the He-Man fans of the ‘80s who still carry a torch for the Cannon Films production of their beloved action figures. 3:19 - Criterion (12 Angry Men (1957) (4K), Shoah (4K)) 22:46 - Kino (Hell's Highway: The True Story of Highway Safety Films) 37:00 - Warner Archive (Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 3, Out of the Past 4K) 54:32 - Ad Break 56:32 - Severin (Danza Macabra Vol. 5) 1:06:47 - Lionsgate (Made 4K, Sorority Row 4K) 1:23:16 - Shout Factory (Charlie Wilson's War (4K)) 1:36:29 - Ad Break 1:38:29 - Toy Robot Video (Masters of the Universe (1987) (4K)) 1:58:55 - Arrow (Tequila Sunrise (4K)) 2:14:58 – New TV on Blu-ray (Star Trek—The Original Series 60th Anniversary, Shaun the Sheep (Season Seven), Tulsa King (Season Three), Scooby-Doo and Mystery Incorporated: The Complete Series, Dark Shadows (Volume One)) 2:15:58 – New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Supergirl (2026) (4K), Minions & Monsters (4K), Passenger, Stop!

A week before Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy take some festival trips, they have nine reviews for you over Labor Day weekend. Ten, in fact, is they catch up on one of the 193 shark movies to come out this year (The Devil's Mouth). Then they get to this week with a music concert (Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live From Paris) and another songwriter creating a new album in the face of tremendous sadness (Sara Bareilles: Good Grief). You may have that Charlie Brown reaction for a murder mystery that has clearly seen other serial killer movies but not learned much from them (The Girl in the River). There's a story about high school journalism from one of the best documentarians working today (Teenage Wasteland). People are climbing to new heights and putting themselves in danger once again (Fall 2: Deadpoint) while Gal Gadot is forced to jog to save her kid (The Runner). Adria Arjona has to fend off super soldiers in Adam Wingard's latest (Onslaught). Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh are unlikely Cold War allies in an action comedy from the makers of Game Night (Mayday). Finally, Mark Wahlberg beats the hell out of racism for the FBI (By Any Means). 9:56 - Review Catch Up (The Devil's Mouth) 22:06 - Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live From Paris 31:05 - The Girl in the River 37:51 - Sara Bareilles: Good Grief 45:23 - Ad Break (00:43:53.31) 47:23 - Teenage Wasteland 59:08 - Fall 2: Deadpoint 1:08:38 - The Runner 1:18:25 - Ad Break (01:14:55.17) 1:20:25 - Onslaught 1:33:35 - Mayday 1:44:27 - By Any Means CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

Some new titles in physical media this week and a few to catch up with from last week, Erik Childress & Peter Sobczynski have you covered. They include a couple of monumental documentaries from Barbara Kopple and the history of Ozploitation is lovingly told in its own doc. Val Kilmer dons the mask(s) of a classic character while Jude Law and Ed Harris snipe at one another. Danny Boyle's original rage-infested tale gets an upgrade as does a film once torn apart by the Weinsteins. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are sister witches, there's an early appearance by Rachel Ward and poor Don Johnson has to choose between Virginia Madsen and Jennifer Connelly.

August concludes with a slew of reviews from Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. Once again they urge you all to go see the movie that Warner Bros. tried to destroy forever (Coyote vs. Acme) and remind you about a couple they saw from Sundance this year (Idiots, Buddy). They also have the tale of a boy trying to find out what those bruises are on his mom (If I Tell You). Rebel Wilson's directorial debut whose behind-the-scenes may be more interesting (The Deb). Three doctors stationed in Gaza want to get the truth out about the conflict with Israel (American Doctor). The Train to Busan director gives us more goopy fast zombies (Colony). Robert DeNiro tries to find his kidnapped grandson (The Whisper Man) and a group of college graduates find themselves in an existential crisis on a very long road (It Ends). The latest from Joe Swanberg has Dakota Fanning choosing between two men and herself and a young guy tries to find the woman who got away (Finding Emily).

There is so much physical media this week that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski moved some of it to next week's show. (You can still get them now.) Regardless there is still plenty to talk about this week including a French adaptation of a Jim Thompson novel and the debut feature from James Gray. Another of the Broadway Melody films has been released along with more film noir from Kino and the bizarre films of Duke Mitchell. One of the great Peter O'Toole performances gets an upgrade as does Abel Ferrara's underappreciated take on the Body Snatcher invasion. Erik & Peter mince no words on their feelings of one of the dumbest screenplays ever but turn it all around with one of the best coming-of-age films of recent years and, frankly, maybe ever. 2:30 - Criterion (Coup de Torchon (4K), Little Odessa (4K)) 12:29 - Warner Archive (Broadway Melody of 1938) 18:14 - Kino (Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XXVII) 28:01 - Grindhouse Releasing (The Duke Mitchell Collection) 39:02 - Shout Factory (The Stunt Man (4K)) 52:52 - Alliance (Fresh Horses (Retro VHS Packaging)) 58:58 - Vinegar Syndrome (Body Snatchers (4K)) 1:11:30 - Arrow (Identity (4K)) 1:23:29 - Lionsgate (Are You There God?

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have seven new reviews for this week, including an early one that is a call to arms. Steve goes solo this week on a documentary about tornado chasers (Never Stop Chasing), a bizarre sci-fi film featuring Noomi Rapace (Hot Spot) and the sixth film in a still very profitable horror franchise (Insidious: Out of the Further). The duo also look at Willem Dafoe as a former poet whose work is rediscovered (Late Fame). Enid Plyton's WWII-era children's book gets a modern telling (The Magic Faraway Tree). Jason Statham is back to avenge his boss and bust up some human traffickers (Mutiny). Finally, they are getting the word out on next week's release of the rescued film that Warner Bros. and David Zaslav had no intention of releasing and why you should see it (Coyote vs. Acme). 3:27 - Review Catch Up 7:07 - Never Stop Chasing 20:12 - Late Fame 30:13 - Ad Break (00:28:43.70) 32:13 - Hot Spot 41:49 - The Magic Faraway Tree 57:50 - Insidious: Out of the Further 1:08:03 - Ad Break (01:04:33.02) 1:10:03 - Mutiny 1:22:54 - Coyote vs. Acme CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have the latest and greatest in physical media this week which includes a few personal favorites as well as not one, but two of the films they lobbied for on their “Why Is This Not On Blu-Ray?” shows. (TWIST: There are actually three – even without the songs.) The show includes a cameo from Odysseus from over a decade ago, one of John Ford's lesser efforts and a wartime film with Gregory Peck. Peter was happy to see a strange Bogart film get the upgrade as was Erik with one of the best political satires ever and James L. Brooks' infamous non-musical. All that plus a look at the insanity of a Michael Caine pirate film, Robert Zemeckis' terrific return to live-action filmmaking and the glory of a movie (with songs) that was not nearly the bomb its reputation has suggested. 2:57 - Arrow (Troy (4K)) 14:14 - Warner Archive (All Through the Night, Sergeant Rutledge, Wag the Dog) 47:15 - Ad Break 49:15 - Paramount (Popeye (4K)) 1:16:11 - Sony (I'll Do Anything) 1:33:36 - Ad Break 1:35:36 - Kino (MacArthur (4K), The Island (4K), Daylight (4K), Repo Men (4K), Flight (4K)) 2:25:14 – New Blu-ray Announcements CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After a week off the Friday reviews are back in what looks to be a jam-packed August. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy do a little catch-up to get Steve's thoughts on the new Spider-Man and Erik's on the dumped M3GAN universe film (Soulm8te). They have a pair of documentaries to talk about including the latest from the great Penny Lane about an owl that escaped from the Central Park Zoo (Wild Inside) and the Girl Scouts annual sale through the eyes of the labor force (Cookie Queens). There is a comedy about a Jewish summer camp (The Floaters). Mysteries are abound when a lord takes a stand against a warlord in 16th century Japan (The Samurai and the Prisoner) and a strange storm keeps a family from leaving their house (The Last House). Eli Roth is back with some sinister child mayhem (Ice Cream Man) as are the Broken Lizard gang with the characters that put them on the map (Super Troopers 3). Finally, can you make a rom-com set on the evening when pre-marital sex is legal (One Night Only)?

The beginning of each month always seems to be slow for physical media but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have some choice titles for you, especially if you ever wanted to see James Cagney and Mickey Rooney do Shakespeare. A couple hit comedies from Universal get a 4K upgrade as does one of Christopher Nolan's favorite movies. You can also see the Todd Haynes film that helped put Julianne Moore on the map and one of the great films about defending the First Amendment, as timely today as it was 30 years ago about a time a couple decades before then. 4:20 - Criterion (Safe 4K) 13:17 - Warner Archive (A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), Presenting Lily Mars, Macao) 32:59 - Universal (American Pie 2 (4K), Little Fockers (4K)) 47:06 - Sony (Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (4K)) 56:58 - Arrow (The People vs. Larry Flynt (4K)) 1:15:29 - New Theatrical Title on Blu-ray (Exit 8) 1:16:37 - New Blu-ray Announcements Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

A bit of a super-sized week of physical media (box sets will do that to you) but one worthy of appreciation and curiosity. Thankfully there are a number of very economical (in length) classics from the film noir era to appreciate. If you don't already know one of the big plot twists of the '70s sci-fi era you get your chance. You get one of the best films from the respective careers of Mario Bava and Elvis Presley. There is some early Wes Craven and late Tobe Hooper. Rock Hudson and Doris Day's classic rom-com gets an upgrade. A brat packer become a serial killer (no, not Andrew McCarthy). WE GOT ONE of our Why-Is-This-Not-On-Blu-Ray titles, a classic farce from the 1980s. Plus, Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill is edited into one singular complete vision.

In a week where Hollywood studios have cleared the deck in the wake of The Odyssey, Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy still have a bunch of reviews for you. They revisit one of the year's best protest documentaries from Sundance (Everybody to Kenmure Street). Steve talks about seeing the musical on stage that was filmed for cinema (Hadestown: The Musical). Yorgos Lanthimos' co-writer crafts another quirky, unpleasant family (Rosebush Pruning) and Nicolas Winding Refn delivers a tale of fathers, daughters and a serial killer (Her Private Hell). Kevin Hart joins a Gen-Z bachelor party weekend (72 Hours) while Jake Johnson plays pickleball to save his family club (The Dink). Reacher's Alan Ritchson seeks revenge of both the deadly and silent type (Motor City). Finally, Sundance isn't the only revisitation this week. As part of “Review Catch-Up” Erik took a second look at Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through another week of physical media. Criterion has you covered from Mike Mills to Nagisa Ôshima. Butch and Sundance make na early appearance alongside Barbara Stanwyck. Giancarlo Giannini tries to solve some giallo murders, Ray Harryhausen takes you to an island of monsters or you can travel to one with Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Ray Liotta is a bad cop after Kurt Russell's wife and Michael Douglas is an ordinary guy looking to bring some sense to society. Or is he?

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy only have three movie reviews for you this week. But in their own rights they are all massive accomplishments. They begin with a new 4K Restoration of Ross McElwee's landmark “Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love In the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation” (Sherman's March). Fast-forward 40 years and they also discuss McElwee's new documentary exploring the loss of his son (Remake). Finally, Christopher Nolan's returns after winning his Oscar by adapting the basis for modern storytelling and maybe even a bit of his own (The Odyssey). You may be surprised by how the discussion plays out.0:58 - Review Catch-Up5:28 - Sherman's March (4K Restoration)20:03 - Remake38:13 - The OdysseyCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Despite the news that Sony is no longer producing physical discs for its Playstation consoles, Blu-rays are not going anywhere. That despite this being one of the smallest tallies of titles that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have ever covered. (Cause we don't like to repeat ourselves.) That being said you have David Lynch's Oscar-nominated biopic and Tim Burton adapting a wacky soap opera. Besides the Criterion sale is on at Barnes & Noble so it's a good week for your budget.2:44 - Criterion (The Elephant Man (4K))22:37 - Shout (Dark Shadows (4K Steelbook))35:02 – New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (The Drama (4K), All You Need Is Kill, Dead Man's Wire, Fuze, Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror)45:29 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Eight movies are on tap for the weekend that America celebrates its 250th birthday. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy check out Angel Studios' attempt at part of that history (Young Washington). There are also documentaries about a legendary music producer (Peter Asher: Everywhere Man) and a public access legend in her own right (Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story). Carla Gugino tries to protect a family member from a demon (Lockbox) and Millie Bobbie Brown is back solving a mystery in Malta (Enola Holmes 3). John Early attempts to satirize message movies in earnest by playing a woman (Maddie's Secret). Those gibberish-speaking assistants to evildoers take a trip through Hollywood history (Minions & Monsters).

From there Erik looks at a faux true crime documentary about murders on a movie set (Chapter 51) and a new WWII film from Rod Lurie (Lucky Strike).

The crazy stunts and pranks of Johnny Knoxville and crew take one last bow (Jackass: Best and Last). Finally, the DC Universe presents their sophomore effort (Supergirl) and is it better or worse than Superman?

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski look at John Waters getting the Criterion treatment. There are a pair of middle-of-the-road (at best) upgrades for Adam Sandler as well as a film with his Bulletproof co-star. James Garner and Bruce Willis in a Hollywood western murder mystery misfire but thankfully Clint Eastwood is also here to save the day. There is the Takashi Miike film that makes good use of the term “not for the squeamish.” And while the subject matter of one death after another did not bode well for a Robin Williams film about heaven and hell, the duo make the case that it was worth a revisit.1:33 - Criterion (Desperate Living (4K), Hairspray (1987) (4K))31:57 - Alliance (Sunset)41:09 - Kino (Hang ‘Em High (4K), Major Payne)1:00:15 - Sony (50 First Dates (4K), Click (4K))1:17:40 - Shout (What Dreams May Come (4K))1:37:51 - Arrow (Audition (4K))1:54:38 – New TV on Blu-ray (Masters of the Universe: Revelation/Revolution (Steelbook), I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Complete Series)1:56:23 - New Theatrical Titles on Blu-ray (Alpha (2025), Magellan, Mr. K, Pools, The Last Showgirl)2:01:10 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Another full week in physical media captured by Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski. Within they discuss the debut of director Lisa Cholodenko and the history of one of Erich von Stroheim's final works as a filmmaker. Sidney Poitier plays a militant revolutionary and Lin Manuel Miranda's historical musical are here. In the wake of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day might we recommend Charlie Sheen solving an alien conspiracy. They talk about the film which may have been part of the last hurrah of Arnold Schwarzenegger's run as a box office megastar.

It may be a light week in quantity for Erik Childress & Steve Prokopy but it's a heavy one in quality. Maybe not so much with the tale of young women encountering bad dudes on vacation (Find Your Friends). But there is also a documentary on a very notable band from the ‘80s (Boy George & Culture Club). If you want to get your action on, someone on the show believes it may be one of the best martial arts films you will ever see (The Furious).

Physical media has some upgraded gems this week so Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski get into some appreciative conversation. They include a James Garner detective tale that may have been the precursor to The Rockford Files. The final film of Wes Craven's career gets relitigated over its decade-long reevaluation. Christopher Walken delivers maybe the nuttiest performance of his career. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant close out ‘90s rom-coms in style.

Physical media fans from the 1980s will have a lot to rejoice upon this week (if you still carry a fondness for certain films of your youth) but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have plenty from various decades to add to your library this week. They include Bob Fosse's take on a free speech icon and the recent Academy Award winner for Best International Feature. Robert Wise's legendary haunted house film and a collection of classic cartoons. There is early work from Brian DePalma plus Art Carney as a private eye and Tony Randall in six roles.

John Lithgow adopts Bigfoot, Dan Aykroyd invades John Candy's vacation and Ron Howard delivers one of the quintessential comedies about family and parenting. Horror fans can take another New Years train ride with Jamie Lee Curtis or finally watch the “real” scenes of death your parents or video store may not have let you or lent you.

The Bros settle the first half of the James Bond Movie Madness tournament and crown a champion. Also they dish on the latest tv shows they've watched, and continue the countdown of their top 100 movies of all time. Here is the bracket: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ARYiijzq59emMgLzvxIrn1uVtcXfsxFU5D6kGE0Fhhw/edit?gid=0#gid=0Keep up with the Bros at: https://broforcesquad.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJML5XTKJl2OzGW5HWrJhwhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bro-force-squad/id1158546516?mt=2https://twitter.com/BroForceSquadStuff discussed in this episode includes Daredevil Born Again, Friends Like These, The Truth and Tragedy of Mariah Wilson, Scream 7, Maul Shadow Lord, Shrinking S3, Scrubs, Saw, Up, Pan's Labrynth

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a daily comedy show tries to stay focused… and immediately fails in spectacular fashion.We kick things off with 90s Movie Madness, a bracket-style tournament to crown the greatest 90s movie of all time—and yes, it gets aggressively opinionated very fast. You've got heavy hitters like Scream, Se7en, The Sixth Sense, and Silence of the Lambs going head-to-head, and somehow we all act like film critics despite definitely not being that. It's nostalgia, arguments, and questionable logic all rolled into one.Then we pivot hard into celebrity chaos with newly released footage from Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest, and let's just say… the phrase “I'm on a world tour” is now permanently ruined. The crew breaks down the awkward interaction, the questionable decisions, and why being famous doesn't automatically make you good at talking to cops.From there, it's a whirlwind of pop culture commentary: Chappell Roan's fan interaction controversy, Shia LaBeouf continuing his streak of concerning behavior, and a debate about actors who instantly make you not want to watch a movie (yes, Jared Leto catches strays).We also get into Kevin Hart launching a comedy competition show, which sparks a surprisingly real conversation about whether comedy should even be judged in the first place—or if it's just a guaranteed way to hurt feelings and start fights.And just when you think things might calm down, we unleash a full-on Chuck Norris joke marathon. No structure, no limits—just pure, dumb, glorious comedy chaos. Honestly, this might be the most productive part of the entire episode.It's messy, it's sarcastic, it's completely unhinged at times—and it's exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show that refuses to take itself seriously.If you like your entertainment with a side of roasting, randomness, and zero professionalism, congratulations—you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Urge stopped by to breakdown their upcoming show with Less Than Jake at St Louis Music Park July 25th.Rizz returns from a wholesome family reunion… immediately followed by a three-hour movie experience that emotionally drained him and physically assaulted his stomach via popcorn.
