Bonus Christmas Mailbag
Added 2024-12-25 08:00:02 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas, everyone!
Since the main episode was released in full, we at Video Archives wanted to give the Patrons an additional gift as a thank you for all of your support.
So let’s get cookies and milk, sit down by the fire, and listen in as Gala reads some letters from listeners.

2025-01-17 17:17:16 +0000 UTCGonna have to be that guy, but when Q is talking about MCA, he is actually talking about Magnetic Video, the initial incarnation of what became 20th Century's label - they had the first licensing deals with UA and ABC for THOMAS CROWN and STRAW DOGS respectively. MCA did have their own unique branding for a while - their first batch of Universal releases would put the title up top, the key art in the middle, and their logo at the bottom. Then they went to a conventional full bore key art (minus credits) on the front.

2024-12-26 23:43:52 +0000 UTCFor the Bronson movie for sure Death Wish 2 or 3.

2024-12-26 21:02:00 +0000 UTCFor Bronson talk, how about one of his early ensemble films like Big House, U.S.A? I have a soft spot for that film having lived a few years in Southern Colorado near Canon City and the Royal Gorge, where the film takes place.

2024-12-26 19:28:23 +0000 UTCQuentin talks at length about Kinjite on the Pure Cinema Podcast final films episode. It's a great listen!

2024-12-26 19:19:15 +0000 UTCI've really come around to liking Death Wish V. There are some pretty brutal, nasty moments in it (nothing compared to Death Wish II, however), and Michael Parks is aces in it! Also, any movie that features death by acid pool is fucking alright in my book!

2024-12-26 18:11:02 +0000 UTCI hope everyone had a great Christmas and happy holiday! Back at the shop today working and catching up on listens, and HOLY SMOKES!!! My question about video box branding got answered! What a great bonus Christmas gift. Glad you all enjoyed the stuff!
Dan Barbour
2024-12-26 16:24:50 +0000 UTCI think you sent in a second set of them, which I’ll give out to the guys when everyone’s back from the holidays! Thanks for the Bronson fun.

2024-12-26 15:56:41 +0000 UTCI am the maker of the bootleg Bronson goodies! Happy to hear the gifts arrived in time for Xmas. This only goes to show Virginia that, yes, there really is a Santa Claus!

2024-12-26 15:41:55 +0000 UTCJust a note for people who aren't familiar with the term: if you wonder why your area doesn't have "Swap Meets," then you probably call them "Flea Markets." A small detail that I learned when I moved out of L.A. and confused people with what I thought was a fairly common term. Shout out to the swap meets of my youth: the terrible Sundown swap meet at the now demolished Sundown Drive-In in Whittier; and the still-running Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet at the old (but occasionally functioning) La Mirada Drive-In.

2024-12-26 13:57:17 +0000 UTCReally enjoy hearing about these one of a kind well-timed gifts today. For Bronson suggestions maybe Death Wish 4 or 5? Watched them recently and found their seemingly low-budget/ straight-to-video aesthetic (in spite of having had a robust budget and theatrical release) strangely enjoyable. I'm lucky to live in an odd town that still has a video rental store/museum, so Christmas shout-out to Movie Madness in Portland, Snoregon. QT mentioned them on last year's "Jet Benny" episode, and it's a great place to check out if you're in the area. Re this podcast, I've found tapes there for rent like "Amsterdam Kill", "Dirty Hands", "Baxter" and "Fever Pitch".

2024-12-25 19:12:28 +0000 UTCIf you were to discuss a Bronson movie on the podcast, I would suggest either Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects or Hard Times, or BOTH. Maybe do 3 Bronson titles?

2024-12-25 18:12:01 +0000 UTCNOTE: Audio updated for latest version. If you re-listen, you'll notice a few subtle differences, but the main body of the episode remains the same.

2024-12-25 16:49:10 +0000 UTCI confess to knowing scant about Mr. Bronson’s career. I was too young for his first movies and then thought I was too old (I.e. cool) for his later ones. Where to begin?

2024-12-25 10:28:39 +0000 UTCI really need to get around to watching Domino - both for the context to listen to the podcast mentioned here, but also because I am related to Domino and Laurence Harvey through my grandfather.

2024-12-25 10:23:09 +0000 UTCRe Bronson movies, it’d be amazing to hear you guys cover ‘Mr Majestyk’ on the show. Have a cool Yule, everybody!

2024-12-25 09:23:15 +0000 UTCIt’s always so fun to hear Quentin discover the internet. At the rate he’s going, season 3 he’ll be boasting about how he’s using AskJeeves to get his Vinyl records
