We have a big episode this week! We brought on Matt from Dawn of the Discs to join the fun! We sat down to talk about horror, collecting, passion and some of the controversies surrounding Dawn of the Discs recently. PLUS we both review The Relic (1997) about an ancient evolutionary creature on the prowl of a museum & Phantoms (1998). Where a small town in Colorado goes missing within seconds and something very strange is making it happen. Two movies that were adapted from Horror Sci Fi Novels by Authors Dean R. Koontz, Lincoln Child & Douglas Preston. Both great books and 2 underrated films. One of them is the crown prince of horror to us. Find out which one! Plus loads of trivia and jokes like always! JOIN US! The first audio commentary for the theatrical version from Disc One is the classic Laserdisc and DVD commentary with George A. Romero, Christine Forrest, and Tom Savini, with Perry Martin serving as moderator. They watch the film and discuss the ins and outs of making it, commenting upon it specifically as it unfolds. It goes without saying that it’s been a favorite of many fans over the years. The second is a new commentary that features writer and film journalist Travis Crawford. Although he only specifically comments occasionally while watching it, he mostly spends his time delving into George’s body of work and the context of the film in relation to it, as well as the film’s various versions and thematic material. The audio commentary for the extended “Cannes” version from Disc Two features Richard P. Rubinstein and Perry Martin. It’s not quite as classic as its Disc One counterpart, but Rubinstein provides valuable, at times even frank, details on the nuts of bolts of the business side of the film from his point of view. The final audio commentary for the European version from Disc Three features the main cast: David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross. It’s a very upbeat discussion of the film as they watch it together, and is much more on the lighter side of things compared to the previous commentary.

So grab your Science Caps, be sure to bring an Anthropologist and please for the love of podcasts don't forget to bring your copy of The Ancient Enemy as we travel Beyond The Void! Munching its way into cinemas in 1978, George A. Romero’s masterpiece Dawn of the Dead redefined the zombie film ten years after the horror landscape had been altered with the original, and still effective, Night of the Living Dead. As was the case with Night, Dawn also reflected what was going on in the world at the time, commenting upon consumerism, a woman’s role in a male-driven society, and anti-authoritism, all under the guise of a simple story about four individuals holed up in a shopping mall during a zombie apocalypse. Just the idea of that, with everything you could ever want or need, satisfies a consumer fantasy that many would gladly participate in. On the other hand, it’s exactly what the film is about: getting it all, but not really having anything. Meanwhile, the outside world has gone to Hell... and it’s coming for you. Second Sight’s 4K Limited Edition is a 7-disc set that includes the following disc-based extras: DISC 1 (4K) – THE THEATRICAL CUT Second Sight’s long-awaited new 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition box set includes no less than three different versions of the film, all in 4K.
