Build My Gallows High (Episode 684)
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.
