00:00Hi, everybody. Welcome to a new season of On Cinema at the Cinema. I'm your host,
00:16New Heidecker. This is a movie news program where we talk about new movies and give you
00:23guys an update on what you should see, what you should skip. We are here at the High Network
00:29ESA campus still. We're still in a transition period. And I'm joined by movie host, or I
00:37should say movie expert. Expert. From the VSA and movie buff, Greg Turkington is with us.
00:45Hey, guys. One thing you didn't mention is reviews also in addition to movie news.
00:49I was saying, Greg Turkington from the VSA is with us here to talk about movies and the
00:55new movies coming out. And review the movies, which is the one thing you didn't mention in
00:57your intro. But we have a lot of movies to review today. We're going to get right into
01:02it with the movie reviews. Well, I want to give a little update on where things are standing
01:06right now. We wanted to be in a bigger space, in a more professional studio here. It's
01:11pretty big and pretty professional. Excuse me. Can I speak? Are you going to interrupt me
01:14at every turn? There's nothing wrong with the studio. Are you going to interrupt me at every
01:17turn? No. I might install a hand-raised policy with you at this point. Well. Okay?
01:25I'm going to raise my hands to give expertise.
01:30Act like an adult. You're on television and people look to you for expertise, but you're
01:34acting like a child the way you're talking. Right after our summer roundup, about a couple
01:39of weeks later, over the July 4th weekend, I suffered a massive illness. Came out of nowhere,
01:47woke up in the middle of the night. And from that period, for about two weeks, I could not
01:51get myself out of bed. High fever. I was not able to keep anything down, food-wise. Stuff
01:59was coming out of me from every end. I was very sick, very close to the end. Knocking
02:06on Heaven's door in a lot of ways. And could not determine what was going on. And one of
02:13these nights, I couldn't sleep. I was tossing and turning, sweating. And the odor from me,
02:17you had to stay out of the room for that period, because the odor coming from me was so intense,
02:23I couldn't even stand it. My odor was making me sick. And it was sort of this cyclical sickness.
02:30That was, I was making myself sick. Pain, it felt like a thousand knives were stabbing me
02:36in every single one of my pores. I couldn't even be touched, you know?
02:39Who would be touching you? I'd be, I couldn't do my self-massage. But I was looking through
02:48my emails, trying to catch up, and trying to get this show back on track. And I happened
02:53to, I never do it, I went into my junk mail and my spam filter. And it's kind of a neat
02:59life lesson, is if you do have a spam filter, is every once in a while, jump in there and
03:04check out, see what's in there, because it's sort of like mining for gold. There's a lot of
03:07junk in there. It's all scams. Shut up! There's a lot of interesting stuff that you can find
03:15in your spam. Sometimes they're almost too conservative with what they're filtering out,
03:20I think. But I happened to find an email from this company that I used to have some
03:27association with, called Rio Genesis. And Rio Genesis, which I thought had gone out of
03:33business, had gone out of business, and had been bought, and rebranded, relaunched, under
03:40the leadership of a gentleman from China named Dr. Jiang Wang, who's a...
03:48He's like John Wang. No, Jiang, Jiang Wang. And, um...
03:55Sounds like John Wang. Does sound like John Wang. From the searchers.
04:04There's been so much new data and research done by Dr. Jiang Wang that we now, I'm feeling
04:11confident, and the thing that they've brought into the mix, which is really exciting, is this,
04:16uh, they have a way to determine the age of your organs. So we all have our age or biological...
04:21Just look at your birth certificate, that's the age of your organs. Right. Well, you have your age,
04:25your, your, uh, the year you were born, the day you were born. But your organs, uh, your interior
04:32organs, at least, develop at a very different rate, and... I don't think so.
04:37Depending on your environmental, uh, the influence that the environment has on you, or what you
04:42do to your body, uh, how you behave, your organs are going to age at a different rate.
04:47So what they did, Riogenesis has, they provide you this at-home organ dating kit, and what...
04:54So I ordered this thing, I'm telling you, I could barely get out of bed, but I was able
04:57to order this, and it came right here to the ESA, and we are given, you know, a little survey
05:04to do, and you're offered the opportunity to, uh, submit...
05:09They go, they could say you can get up to three liquids from your body, so they can do the testing.
05:13So you can donate blood, semen, uh, urine, but you do have to do a stool sample.
05:19So there's a stool sample, and then your choice of, uh, liquids.
05:23So I did, uh, urine, and blood, and stool, of course, as much as you can get in here.
05:29So I sent this away, and in 48 hours, I get this, which was my at-home, uh, my findings report,
05:42right here, which was a ton of data for me to go through.
05:46And they looked at every single one of my organs, and determined that my organs turned out to be,
05:53they said they have an average, or a total age, average age of 85 years old.
05:59Now I'm 50 years old, so that's, whatever the numbers are, whatever the math is there,
06:02it's significantly older than my actual birth age.
06:05Okay.
06:07And that was a big shock for me, but it explained a lot of why, of how sick I was.
06:13Okay.
06:14And Dr. Jiang, uh, Dr. Jiang Wang recommended immediately, he actually sent me a personal email,
06:22recommended Warp 10, which is, here we see that.
06:27Like Star Trek, the motion picture.
06:29And that's, um, Warp 10 internal de-aging system.
06:33And this, I take, I've been taking two of these every morning.
06:38You can see, I don't know if you can see those, but, right away, this stuff started to work.
06:42My hair fell out, like, all of it fell out within a week.
06:46Um, and, uh, my sickness, like, went from bad to worse.
06:51I offered to loan you a hat, you don't have to wear a wig, you can wear a hat.
06:54All of my organs were, like, under attack, uh, or the toxins in my organs were fully under attack.
07:00So I know Warp 10 is doing the trick, and I want to thank everybody at Rio Genesis for...
07:06You know what's cool?
07:07This is the 16th season of the show, which reminds me of 16 Candles.
07:12We should have, uh, got a cake with 16 Candles as sort of a tribute to what we're doing,
07:17but also a tribute to the great movie from John Hughes.
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:22Needless to say, I'm out of bed, fever's down, and the hair's gone, but we're, you know,
07:29it'll be growing back, and it is growing back, so we're excited about that.
07:32Mm-hmm.
07:33And let's talk...
07:34Let's talk movies.
07:35Movies.
07:36We've got, actually, two movies to review this week.
07:38All right, let's get into The Stranglers, chapter two.
07:41The Stranglers, directed by...
07:43Rennie Harlan.
07:44Rennie Harlan.
07:45Starring Gabrielle Basso, Richard Brake, and Madeline Petsch.
07:52So, on the final day of their cross-country road trip, a couple's vehicle breaks down,
07:59forcing them to take refuge in a remote Airbnb.
08:05As night falls, three masked Strangers...
08:07Oh, Strangers.
08:08Okay, so this is The Strangers, chapter two.
08:11Right?
08:12Terrorize them until dawn.
08:15Strangers.
08:16What'd you think of Strangers, chapter two?
08:19Very cool movie.
08:20I love the original, but the...
08:22Strangers.
08:23Excuse me.
08:24The original was called Strangers.
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:27And this is also called Strangers.
08:29I love it.
08:30It's kind of an updating of the old Hitchcock classic Psycho, where you have the hotel from
08:35hell.
08:36Right.
08:37But they've updated it because this is the Airbnb from hell.
08:40So, I kind of like that twist to it.
08:42I'd love to see a lot more of the old Hitchcock movies come back in one form or another.
08:47Maybe updated for some of the technology we have today.
08:50Okay.
08:51So, I'm going to give it five bags of popcorn and I'm going to throw in like a little knife
08:56like you had in the original Psycho movie.
08:57Okay.
08:58But not actually sharp.
08:59It's more of like a keepsake knife.
09:02I like this in your rating?
09:04Five bags of popcorn and a keepsake knife.
09:07Okay.
09:08And just...
09:09Which I just said.
09:10Right.
09:11Okay.
09:12Well, this is another classic from Rennie Harlan, one of the great directors right now
09:20and has been for almost all time, as long as he's been directing.
09:25And a great performance from Gabriel Basso and everybody else.
09:30I agree.
09:31So, this was an interesting movie and we give it five bags of popcorn as well.
09:36All right.
09:38And I hope there's a part three, a chapter three.
09:40Mm-hmm.
09:41I like that they're calling it a chapter rather than a part.
09:44Well, it feels like then at the end of the day you're going to have a book, right?
09:48Like if you have seven or ten of these movies, you would have a book.
09:51I think movies have chapters too.
09:52It doesn't have to be a book.
09:54Right.
09:55But chapters are generally smaller installments of a story.
09:59It doesn't have to be.
10:01All right.
10:02Let's go through Gabby's.
10:03This is now Gabby's Dollhouse, the movie.
10:06Released, starring, excuse me, directed by Ryan Crago.
10:12Starring Laila Lockhart Craner, Kristen Weig, and Karlyn Tessara.
10:19Gabby and Grandma Gigi's road trip takes an unexpected turn when Gabby's prized dollhouse ends up with an eccentric cat lady, Vera.
10:29Gabby embarks on an adventure to reunite Gabby's cats and, of course, retrieve her beloved dollhouse before it's too late.
10:38What'd you make of Gabby's Dollhouse?
10:40It's a movie.
10:41One thing I really like about this is if you have, you want to take some kids to a movie, you can't take them to Strangers.
10:48Mm-hmm.
10:49The Strangers Chapter 2 because that's got adult concepts and things.
10:53Right.
10:54This is more of a movie for all ages.
10:56You could be three years old and there were a lot of three and four year olds at the theater when I went to see this.
11:01So, it's kind of a universal movie.
11:03Not the studio universal, but more just something that anyone can enjoy.
11:08I also really appreciated that they've revived the trend of having the movie in the title.
11:15Because you have so many things like Superman that is a comic book, a TV show.
11:22You need to know what it is you're buying, what you're buying a ticket to.
11:25This is a movie.
11:26This isn't the TV show.
11:27Right.
11:28This is a movie.
11:29And it's also interesting to have the movie at the end because in recent years they've started, even when they tell you it's a movie, like the Garfield movie, they put the name in between the words the and movie.
11:42The Garfield movie.
11:43I see.
11:44The Emoji Movie.
11:45Right.
11:46And this is giving you the title and then adding the movie at the end, which I think is a better way to do it.
11:51I love this movie, The Movie.
11:54And I think it's a very interesting story and the characters are really beloved, instantly beloved.
11:59I'd love to see more of these movies, sequels, and I'm going to give it five bags of popcorn.
12:04All right.
12:05Well, I really wanted to see this one.
12:07I went down to the theater to see it and it was an 11 a.m. matinee.
12:13And the usher came by and he said, what are you doing here?
12:17I said, I'm here to see this movie.
12:19And he got his manager and the manager came over and I said, listen, I'm here to see where you don't have kids.
12:26I said, no, I don't.
12:28I do, but I don't.
12:29I did as well, as you know, and I do in a lot of ways, but they're not here.
12:36And he said, well, we can't have you here.
12:39Why is that?
12:40Well, you asked you, they thought it was something suspicious about it, which there wasn't.
12:45And they asked me to leave and I didn't want to get into it.
12:47And I was exited from the theater.
12:51What theater was that?
12:52Because I'm going to, I'm going to.
12:54I don't want to dox this place, but it was a major brand.
12:57Anyways, this doesn't seem like it's for me anyways.
13:00But if you do have really small kids, it seems like it's the movie for you.
13:04No, I think this is good for anybody.
13:06And I think that that theater manager should be ashamed of himself.
13:08And you should let me know what it is and I will get my true blue film buffs on the case.
13:14And we will have a word with this guy.
13:16I will talk about that with you off the air.
13:17No one should be turned away from a movie.
13:19All right.
13:20Well, why don't we wrap things up here?
13:22I'll give it five bags of popcorn because according to you, it seems like a great movie.
13:25And I talked to Grok about it.
13:27And Grok was saying that it was a pretty strong film.
13:30First, a good film from Ryan Crago.
13:33Talk to the experts first.
13:34And it is a good film.
13:35It's a great film.
13:36I did.
13:37Like I said, I talked to Grok about it and he recommended that people see it.
13:39I think Grok saw the movie.
13:41All right.
13:42Well, that's all we have time for today.
13:44And we're going to...
13:46We do have time for another update since we had to hear about your kidneys and things
13:52during the time that could have been Popcorn Classics.
13:55Yeah.
13:56I have been doing some...
13:57A lot of the VFA supporters and fans and admirers, honestly, of the VFA and all that
14:05we do have been asking what is going on with the VFA lately because we were trying to get
14:10a new building.
14:11And right now we're using this Extended Stay America as a temp as this high network.
14:17But I've actually been working on a project that is going to revolutionize film archiving
14:22and that is going to take the VFA into the 21st century.
14:26And it's going to expand our collection probably by 50 to 100%, which is we have been systematically
14:34buying up with some of the money left over from the settlement, buying up DVDs.
14:40DVDs, I know.
14:42Don't shoot the messenger, though.
14:44Buying up some of these DVDs, which are getting really cheap.
14:47We bought a pallet from a shop that went out of business.
14:50It must have been 1,000 DVDs for $400.
14:55And what we're doing is systematically transferring the movies that came out between 2004, which
15:04was when the last VHS releases came out, and the current day, transferring them directly
15:09to VHS tape, designing covers and packages, and basically creating the world's most up-to-date
15:16and complete archive.
15:17And it's been a great process.
15:19Okay.
15:20Well, interesting use of funds.
15:22And we should say, just to wrap this up, that we don't want to get into the weeds of
15:28the business here, but the high network, high properties, and high incorporated now is
15:34back under my leadership.
15:36I think you're okay with me saying that.
15:39We did a transfer of ownership.
15:41This is for some sort of boring reasons, but definitely protecting you and protecting
15:46the company from any potential lawsuits that might be coming our way due to incidents that
15:51happened in the past.
15:53The person who should be worried about lawsuits is the movie house owner.
15:57Why don't we not get into that, because I don't want you on record with anything like that about
16:02the lease.
16:03Okay.
16:04Alright, well that's all the time we have today, but we will be back next week with more
16:08reviews and more news about movies here on Cinema at the Cinema.
16:12Thanks for watching.
16:13Take care.
16:14Yeah.
16:15Are you just throwing away these blue rays then, or are you giving them back to Goodwill,
16:19or what do you think?
16:20I'm keeping them in case there's a problem with the tapes for learned downloads, so we're
16:21keeping them as a separate archive, just as a backup.
16:22I can't have that stuff piling up.
16:23I can't have it.
16:24For now it's piling up, but it is going to be moved to another building at some point.
16:28Okay, by the end of the week.
16:52Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:54Bye.
