Episode 378: Backtrack to the Small Axe

<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;"> Peter Sobczynski is back to talk the latest and greatest in physical media. They range from the highs of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe series to the lows (in Peter’s estimation) of Ruben Ostlund’s latest. Indies you may have missed like Holy Spider and Return to Seoul. Both him and Erik Childress reflect on the world of one of television’s greatest sitcoms as well as a new Jackie Chan collection and a 4K of sci-fi David Bowie. They also take an extended look at some oddball offerings from Kino including a 1980s film remembered (by Erik at least) for its use of blackjack and credit cards as well as a most unusual Dennis Hopper film starring Jodie Foster with plenty of behind-the-scenes drama and a lot of on-screen weirdness.</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;">  </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;"> 1:21 - Criterion (Small Axe, Triangle of Sadness)</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;"> 9:27 - Arrow Films (The Assassination Bureau, Lover's Lane)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'T
