  • Ken P. D. Snydecast #187: Doppler-Ween

    snydecast-header.png

    snydecast-logo2.png

    Adult Swim’s Dana Snyder and FRED’s Ken Plume set out to have a literate conversation between two pals, but inevitably devolve into a verbal, and funny, free-for-all full of bickering, infighting, and the special kind of male bonding that comes from conflict expressed through the podcast medium.

    Actor/comedian/raconteur Dana Snyder, you’re certainly aware, is Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s Master Shake, Squidbillies‘ Granny, Minoriteam’s Dr. Wang, and The Venture Bros.‘ Alchemist. Available for weddings and bar mitzvahs (bat availability pending), you can keep tabs on him via his website, www.eyeofthesnyder.com.

    Ken Plume is the editor-in-chief here at FRED. He is a friend of Dana’s, as well as his arch-nemesis.

  • Weekend Shopping Guide 11/9/12: Spectacular Spidey

    weekendshopping.png

    The weekend’s here. You’ve just been paid, and it’s burning a hole in your pocket. What’s a pop culture geek to do? In hopes of steering you in the right direction to blow some of that hard-earned cash, it’s time for the FRED Weekend Shopping Guide – your spotlight on the things you didn’t even know you wanted…

    (Please support FRED by using the links below to make any impulse purchases – it helps to keep us going…)

    I’m not a fan of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, and less so of Tobey Maguire’s DOA-delivery as the titular hero (and those godawaful organic webshooters). The only thing they did get right was the costume, which was just about perfect. With the rebooted Amazing Spider-Man (Sony, Rated PG-13, 3D Blu-Ray-$55.99 SRP), Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man is pretty damn good, and the story and direction are energetic, with a real nice use of 3D in the city swinging. Hell, we even get genius Peter designing his web shooters. What doesn’t work is the pointless redesign of the costume, which is overly busy and awkward, and hopefully will be ditched in the sequel. Bonus materials include an audio commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, rehearsals, pre-viz and progression reels, a second screen app, and a 3D film school.

    thinkgeek-01.jpg

    Because you can never have enough flexibility in your mobile charging options, the fine folks at Thinkgeek have released an ultra low profile USB Car Charger ($19.99) that lies practically flush with your lighter socket (a little flippable handle allows for easy extraction), and is capable of 2.1 amps. It even has a dedicated on/off switch! So, really, you have no excuse to keep just about any USB device powered up on a long trip, or during a home power outage.

    thinkgeek-02.jpg

    It’s been a long wait, but we’ve finally got the 3rd volume of Sesame Street Old School (Warner Bros., Not Rated, DVD-$29.87 SRP), featuring classic episodes and clips from the period between 1979-1984. By this point, the show had moved from being a phenomena to an institution, and all of the rough edges had been sanded away – while still, thankfully, operating with all of the original performers. Of course, on that front, this is also an era marked by sadness, as it was during this period that the beloved Mr. Hooper passed away, leading to a landmark episode in which the concept of death was presented to the show’s young audience. Full of bonus featurettes, clips, and rare footage, how can you not pick this up?

    blankguide.gif

    I was worried going in to The Campaign (Warner Bros., Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$35.99 SRP) that it would be just a goofball affair, but its tale of a North Carolina Republican primary showdown between a cocksure incumbent (Will Ferrell) and a small town challenger (Zach Galifiankis) pitted against each other by a pair of multi-billionaires (John Lithgow & Dan Aykroyd) intent on getting their way actually has some genuine bite in this election year. And it’s damn funny. Bonus materials include Deleted scenes, alternate lines, and a gag reel.

    blankguide.gif

    Formerly available as just a retailer exclusive, John Hughes still-brilliant Planes, Trains And Automobiles (Paramount, Rated R, Blu-Ray-$22.98 SRP) is finally available in high definition in wide release, and it’s perfect viewing for the holiday season. The Blu-Ray carries over the DVD special features, including a retrospective featurette, tributes to Hughes and John Candy, and a deleted scene.

    blankguide.gif

    While its had holiday episodes in the past, It’s A Spongebob Christmas! (Nickelodeon, Not Rated, DVD-$14.98 SRP) is the first truly special holiday event, as it’s a beautiful stop-motion affair that presents Bikini Bottom in widescreen for the first time since the Spongebob feature film. Also? The tunes from Tom Kenny are fantastically fun. Bonus materials include featurettes, an animatic, a Yule Log, and mp3s.

    blankguide.gif

    It may not be considered the best animation to come down the pike, but there’s no denying that the kids shows produced by Filmation – from Fat Albert and Star Trek to Superman and He-Man – left their mark on a few generations. The story of the studio is told by its founder in Lou Scheimer: Creating The Filmation Generation (Twomorrow’s, $29.95 SRP).

    blankguide.gif

    It’s not their usual stop-motion fare, but Aardman Animation’s festive holiday CG feature Arthur Christmas (Sony, Rated PG, 3D Blu-Ray-$55.99 SRP) is still an appealing, good looking little tale about Santa’s son’s desperate quest to deliver one child’s present that was left behind. Bonus materials include featurettes, an Elf Recruitment Video, and progression reels detailing the production process.

    blankguide.gif

    A new Disney film has come down the pike, which also means a new, beautiful, must-have Art Of book from the fine folks at Chronicle – and that’s just what The Art Of Wreck-It Ralph (Chronicle Books, $40.00 SRP). Filled with the usual copious amounts of development and production artwork, interviews with the creators, and more, it’s the definitive visual exploration of Disney’s latest CG animated offering.

    blankguide.gif

    Tick another classic film off the list, as an absolutely beautifully restored Sunset Boulevard (Paramount, Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$26.98 SRP) makes its way to high definition, featuring a never-before-seen deleted scene, retrospective featurettes, the theatrical trailer, galleries, and more. This edition is certainly ready for its close-up.

    blankguide.gif

    It doesn’t hold a candle to the classic films, but Muppet Christmas Carol (Walt Disney, Rated G, Blu-Ray-$26.50 SRP) is a damn site better than the recent cinematic misfire, and the Dickensian tale makes its high definition debut just in time for the holidays. Bonus materials include commentaries, featurettes, and a blooper reel. Now if only we can get the first two Muppet films in high definition by next Christmas…

    blankguide.gif

    So what have we got for this week’s soundtracks? We’ve got a brand new score from the mighty John Williams for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln (Sony, $9.99 SRP), and Thomas Newman’s beautifully bombastic old school score for the new Bond film, Skyfall (Sony, $9.99 SRP).

    blankguide.gif

    How about a pair of catalogue releases from the folks at Buena Vista? New to high definition are the Bette Midler tearjerker Beaches (Touchstone, Rated PG-13, Blu-Ray-$20.00 SRP) and the Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama (Touchstone, Rated PG-13, Blu-Ray-$20.00 SRP). Both sport audio commentaries, featurettes, and more.

    blankguide.gif

    Though there are some that dismiss him, I will stand by my long-held love for the comedy of Louie Anderson, still going strong in Louie Anderson: Big Baby Boomer (Image, Not Rated, DVD-$14.98 SRP). There’s a relateable, Cosbyian quality to Anderson’s storytelling, and I’m glad he’s still creating (and, finally, releasing shows).

    blankguide.gif

    If you want to take an already impressive display piece – the various 12″ Iron Man figures that have been released over the last couple of years by the fine folks at Hot Toys – and plus it into ridiculously cool territory, then you’ll want to clear off a large shelf and get your very own Suit Up Gantry ($359.99), as seen at the beginning of Iron Man 2. Incredibly screen accurate and completely articulated – from pistons to clamps – and featuring a light-up base that shines on the figure details, it’s a conversation piece and a half. Get it while you can, because you’ll be kicking yourself when it’s gone.

  • Weekend Shopping Guide 11/2/12: Hitched

    weekendshopping.png

    The weekend’s here. You’ve just been paid, and it’s burning a hole in your pocket. What’s a pop culture geek to do? In hopes of steering you in the right direction to blow some of that hard-earned cash, it’s time for the FRED Weekend Shopping Guide – your spotlight on the things you didn’t even know you wanted…

    (Please support FRED by using the links below to make any impulse purchases – it helps to keep us going…)

    Have you noticed which much-desired films have been largely absent on Blu-Ray until now? Don’t worry – I’ll tell you, because that gross oversight has been rectified in wonderful fashion with the 15-film Alfred Hitchcock: Masterpiece Collection (Universal, $299.98 SRP), which re-creates in glorious high-definition the excellent DVD gathering of the famed director’s American output in one easy-as-pie package. The restoration and mastering done for the films included here – Saboteur, Shadow Of A Doubt, Rope, Rear Window, The Trouble With Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North By Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie, Torn Curtain, Topaz, Frenzy, and Family Plot – is top notch, trumping the lovely work done for the old DVD release. And thankfully, the bonus features from that set are also carried over, which include audio commentaries, featurettes, screen tests, interviews, storyboards, and more. Getting this is a no-brainer, so do it.

    thinkgeek-01.jpg

    Thinkgeek time! You can never, ever have too many USB ports. You know this to be the case. That’s why something like the 28-port MondoHub ($89.99 SRP) is absolutely brilliant. With 4 USB 3.0 ports and 24 USB 2.0 ports, all of which can be turned on and off individually, it’s a perfectly useful piece of tech.

    thinkgeek-02.jpg

    Shout Factory continues to prove themselves the ideal company when it comes to releasing classic television series, and kudos to Sony for turning over titles from their library, as it gives us remarkable definitive collections like All In The Family: The Complete Series (Shout Factory, Not Rated, DVD-$199.99 SRP). Not only does the 28-disc collection feature all 9 seasons, but it also includes a bonus disc with two of the show’s original pilots, the pilots to the show’s spin-offs (Gloria, Archie Bunker’s Place, 704 Hauser, documentaries, an interview with Norman Lear, and more. Can we get lovely collections of Soap, Fernwood Tonight, Benson, and Newsradio now?

    blankguide.gif

    You know the holidays have arrived when the new-to-high-def catalogue releases start becoming holiday titles, which is exactly what we’ve got with the Santa Clause Collection (Walt Disney. Rated PG/G, Blu-Ray-$49.99 SRP), which brings together all 3 festive family comedies starring Tim Allen as the hapless divorced dad who finds himself the latest to take up the mantle of Santa Claus. Bonus materials are all carried over from the previous DVD releases, and include featurettes, deleted scenes, commentaries, and more.

    blankguide.gif

    I’m not a fan of Brendon Small’s off-putting egofest, but I know there are lots of people out there excited to hear that Metalocalypse: Season IV (Adult Swim, Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$28.99 SRP) is now available, featuring 12 episodes in mind-numbing high definition.

    blankguide.gif

    Sadly, Copper (BBC, Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$59.98 SRP) isn’t really a BBC show. It’s one of the first of a new breed of BBC America shows, as that network somehow felt there were slim pickings to be had in actual BBC fare and had to develop their own vehicles with largely American talent. Sad, really. The show itself – a crime series set in 1864 New York City – is decent if unremarkable, but certainly shows promise. Bonus materials include audio commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes, and character profiles.

    blankguide.gif

    There are hundreds, if not thousands of films released in the last 20 years that did not make a big enough splash at the box office or on VHS that hopes for an eventual Blu-Ray release would seem to be rather dim, at best. Flying in the fact of that with an incredibly economical package is the clutch of new double feature Blu-Ray discs from Mill Creek’s distribution deal with Buena Vista – Color Of Night/Playing God, Mafia!/The Crew, The Doctor/Stella, A Simple Twist Of Fate/Unstrung Heroes, One Good Cop/A Stranger Among Us, Billy Bathgate/Blaze, The Good Mother/Angie (Mill Creek, $9.98 SRP each). There are no bonus features to speak of, but the fact that any of these films made it to high definition is bonus enough.

    blankguide.gif

    By the 5th and final season of The Streets Of San Francisco (Paramount, Not Rated, DVD-$48.99 SRP), Michael Douglas was long gone, replaced by Richard Hatch, who joined stalwart schnozz Karl Malden as they both set out to solve the crimes in the city by the Bay.

    blankguide.gif

    Right up front, I think we can all agree that Hot Toys has, for the last few years, been producing some of the best, if not the best, 12″-scale collector figures on the market. They’re simply stunning, from eerily lifelike sculpts and paint ops to perfectly-scaled and accurate costuming, they’re the folks to beat. And, every once in awhile, they decide to plus their already great work by releasing a DX figure – which is essentially their bells and whistles affair, usually with extra props, special displays, and their even-more-eerily lifelike dynamic eye system, which allows you to adjust the figure’s gaze. The latest figure to get this treatment comes straight from Star WarsThe Empire Strikes Back, to be exact – and it’s Luke Skywalker in Bespin Outfit ($299.99), which is the tan flightsuit Luke wears on Dagobah and then on to Bespin. If you recall, Luke got pretty banged up during his fight with Vader, eventually losing his hand and plummeting down an exhaust vent. Well, Hot Toys gives you not one, but TWO Luke figures in this DX set – One nice and clean and ready to fight, and one bruised and bloodied and with the ability to swap out his arm for a handless one (you also get the severed hand, natch). So no need to swap costumes – You’ve got both options ready to go, right out of the box. And you’ve even got two display options, as in addition to a nicely-themed Bespin-architecture stand, you also get an elaborate recreation of the vane Luke dangles from underneath Cloud City, featuring LED lights and either displayable on a shelf or hanging up. How about that? Oh, and speaking of Luke’s training on Dagobah, the Sideshow Exclusive edition of this figure includes the severed Luke-Head-In-Vader-Helmet seen during the young Skywalker’s trial in the cave. Take a look at the pics below, and realize you’ll want to snap this one up while you can…

  • Ken P. D. Snydecast #186: Halloweenies

    snydecast-header.png

    snydecast-logo2.png

    Adult Swim’s Dana Snyder and FRED’s Ken Plume set out to have a literate conversation between two pals, but inevitably devolve into a verbal, and funny, free-for-all full of bickering, infighting, and the special kind of male bonding that comes from conflict expressed through the podcast medium.

    Actor/comedian/raconteur Dana Snyder, you’re certainly aware, is Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s Master Shake, Squidbillies‘ Granny, Minoriteam’s Dr. Wang, and The Venture Bros.‘ Alchemist. Available for weddings and bar mitzvahs (bat availability pending), you can keep tabs on him via his website, www.eyeofthesnyder.com.

    Ken Plume is the editor-in-chief here at FRED. He is a friend of Dana’s, as well as his arch-nemesis.
