Episode 373: It’s a Big Easy Midnight Run

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski look at this week’s Blu-ray releases including a rather dour but excellent film with Damian Lewis and a flavorful, sexy, pulpy thriller making its debut on Blu. Peter recalls one of the weirder titles in Kino’s new Film Noir collection and they also go through the run of Star Trek’s Next Generation films as well as Jon Hamm as the new Fletch. A trio of new 4K’s from Warner Bros. gives us some of the best from Humphrey Bogart, James Dean and Paul Newman. Finally, a new 4K of one of the great mismatched buddy comedies of the ‘80s is cause for celebration and Erik gets to recount his momentary personal connection to the film.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 0:00 - Intro</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 1:37 - Grasshopper Films (Keane)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 7:56 - Paramount (Confess, Fletch, Star Trek: The Next Generation 4-Movie Collection (4K))</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 15:23 - Kino (The Big Easy, Juniper, Rowdy, Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XII [Undertow / Outside the Wall / Hold Back Tomorrow]</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span styl
