xcellent episode. I love to see the vintage stuff, great art and very hilarious tiles. Your video is aspirational. Also I am more aware of the treasures out there. Thanks

bambi gives godzillia a hot foot priceless

He is one of the absolute greats, a modern shaman; he could weave dream into his art where it never occurred to me that I was suspending belief, it was more that I was suspended in the air, given a perspective on consciousness that went so deep and yet ineffable through words. That all sounds so mushy and I feel a little silly writing it, but it's true. We're so lucky to have had him, a net positive to the planet.

All the best to you David, a great filmmaker is gone, I'll be watching "Inland Empire" today in tribute to the great man. I noticed "Cannibal Error" just over your shoulder, I've just ordered it today. Great tribute David!

A sad day. I think you should revisit this, so much great work to discuss. Thanks.

Another great gone. Irreplaceable. Just glad we've got such a huge body of work to continue to dip into and enjoy. RIP, you were one of the very best.

I absolutely agree with everything you say. I've been stunned all day since hearing the news of Lynch's passing. I've followed his astonishing career since first seeing Eraserhead at the Tyneside Film Theatre in 1979 ( still have the programme notes). Watching all the subsequent films as they were released... culminating a few years ago in an exhibition of his art at Home in Manchester ( where I work as a projectionist) and a full retrospective of his films...and a live satellite link up with Lynch. Still taking all this in....but what a loss.

It's OK to mourn David's passing. He was someone very special, not just another director.

The Twilight Zone’s “Night of the Meek” has been a personal holiday tradition since I first saw it in the 80’s.

When I was 12 I read the Monarch paperback tie-in to the 1961 movie Gorgo, the popular British knockoff of Godzilla. It left me highly confused as it was my first (light) brush with pornography. The paperback was notorious for its' inappropriate "spiciness" in a book likely to be read by kids.

Those drawings in this video are kinda crappy. Hell they look like I did them

Excellent stuff. Wasn't there a whole genre of (ahem) 'Mandingo' erotic lit? In terms of other books: - the more obscure music titles - wacky memoirs (e.g. Don Estelle) - photography

Great video. Glad to see the movie being given a bit of credit as a dumb bit of fun. Also, Pammy is an utter goddess on screen. You did miss one element: around this period (95-96) we had film adaptations of Judge Dredd and Tank Girl as well. Both, as well as Barb Wire, came from indie backgrounds and arguably all three appeared too late to cash in on the comic book movie frenzy and the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman/Peter Milligan "adultification" of the format (both early 90's). While Barb Wire isn't a million miles away from John Arcudi's comics, the film is a lot camper in its depiction of dystopian America. However, at least it understood its source material (unlike the aforementioned Judge Dredd and Tank Girl).

More please, particularly ones looking at fanzines? Also, one for music as well?

I was aware of Salvation purely because of to the soundtrack but I never knew it had slipped into obscurity! Would you consider another video along these lines, looking at films that never got a re-release or have been refused BBFC certificates, even today.

Definitely more film reviews/unboxing (Richard Baylor and Barb Wire were particular favourites), more book reviews, more rants about popular culture and censorship.

Happy New Year David. I have to say that I wasn't sure how your rebrand to Desperate Living would go, but I was very much on board with what you were doing with The Reprobate. I personally prefer the wider span of that compared with the more targeted approach you're currently taking, but I'm happy to be converted. I definitely miss your rants about blights of the modern age, and certainly your opinions about the adult film industry. But just keep producing interesting content, because that will always mark you out from your supposed YT competition (who may or may not be your haters?)

Happy New Year! Keep making the videos, the more esoteric and avant garde the better. I am not sure if rant videos would work, one way to find out is to make one ...

Ooooo, and The Fearless Vampire Killers!

Noice vid.Die Hard 2 is also a great Christmas movie... it has snow too! Horror fans will love the 1972 Tales From The Crypt.

Nice picks 👍

"Fitzwilly" (1967) is an often over looked, forgotten Christmas movie.

An excellent list. My contribution would be Jess Franco's "Dr Orloff's Monster" aka "Mistresses of Dr Jekyll". Merry Christmas!

Merry Xmas David!

Lovely ornaments, plus the only true Xmas song playing in the background!

By far the best review I've seen yet. Very detailed and accurate. I saw the original R rated version in a packed theater in 1979. I bought the 2007 Blu Ray with the imperial edition and extras. I'm planning to see the new version whatever that one is called 😂

I put off watching the 1990s shows. Many of them were better than expected. Agenda for Murder & Hazardous for Your Health and a few others could’ve been right out of the 1970s. Death Hits the Jackpot was a favorite. 3 of the last 4 episodes were among the best with 2003’s Nightlife was the biggest surprise, it was nice to see Columbo have a great send off.

Spider Labyrinth was a great and rewarding blind buy!

Awesome interview, I got total respect for Mr. Gregory and I like the Severin Films even more now.

Great interview.

Brilliant review! I’m considering this blu ray set despite the high price, yeah it is a pity that all kids shows are the same generic animation these days!

When I read the books, in the 1960s, I imagined Paddington as my teddy bear come to life. Those TV shows carried on with this idea perfectly. (Quick aside there is a wonderful episode where Paddington does Gene Kelly, Singing In The Rain, worth the price of the DVD for that alone). The modern films are OK, but for me Paddington is too much like a real bear, I want him more teddy. I know it's probably just me.

My wife and I have been truly addicted to Lieutenant Columbo for years now. The classic series can be watched endlessly with few exceptions ( The Chess Match and Farewell Commodore) Nevertheless, your contribution pertaining to the “continuation Columbo” was very insightful and fair. I enjoy watching about 5 of them: Jackpot, Rod Steiger, Lottery Winner, Danby Coleman and the Vice President candidate… oh and the degenerate gambling Nephew with the great opening Vegas song😀 ( Tony Bennett) The rest are dissatisfying.

Paddington is super cute 🐻

I was at a screening of her new movie last week and Pammy was there doing a Q&A. She still looks amazing!

I agree that the later episodes were laboured & poor. The Columbo character changed too. Shame!

The one thing I remember from these later episodes is the time Colombo's fake eyebrow fell off mid-scene and they didn't even bother reshooting it, just let him continue on with his eyebrow hanging off. That's how cheaply made these were.

Dear god, this is why I hate Fandoms. The first year of Columbo was definitely the worst, but people whine about the final years. Final years had some of the best stories. Having said that I only hate 4 or 5 episodes, and those were in the first few years.

I really enjoyed the sets from the classic Colombo episodes, so much trouble was taken to make them interesting, for example the interiors of those grand Los Angeles houses in which the murders generally happened. Roaring fires, oil paintings, pianos, beautiful gardens, interior decoration, cars, clothes, maids and butlers running about, etc. Now films and tv shows don't bother with sets, they are shot in the dark or in dim lighting, to save money. They tell us it's the new trendy style, and the machine-gun pace of the cuts does not allow the viewer time to linger on enjoying the details of the sets

Tbh I avoided the 80s episodes, cause I like the 70s vibe , and I'm glad I did after watching this , I'm a purist not interested in experiential stuff , thanks

i already had them all. But not on dvd.

At 10:08, the late 80's, early nineties looked oddly cheap. Exactly the words I was looking for.

Fortunately I have the ENTIRE DISC SET. All in one. I'm 61 and have watched Lt. Columbo since I was barely ten years old. Whoever thinks the episodes leading to the millennium were not up to par or that Columbo was so much less of the great character he always was, is very sadly WRONG. And don't listen to this guy about the age thing. Form your own opinion. Along with some of the best supporting actors returning there was still wit, humor, intrigue and very good storylines. Not every one was a home run but overall it gave us the return of the greatest TV detective ever! God bless Peter Falk and all he gave us. 🙏👍

Columbo is a great show

Ha! Glad you can see the light finally ;P

More audio commentaries please!

Thanks so much for the feature of our coasters! Totally agree on the packaging - we actually updated it recently to a recyclable cardboard box which is much nicer, so people shouldn't receive the plastic packaging any more.

I'm an American transplant in France, originally from the Washington DC area, quite close to Baltimore. My parents had friends there, so I would sometimes go with them to visit. Although their friends had a son who worked for John Waters, and in spite of the fact that I was an avid fan, they really didn't know who he was. Anyway, we were walking along the street near the old port of Baltimore and I was compelled to go into what I thought was a typical souvenir shop. What was not my sheer, utter amazement, shock and surprise to see Edith Massey sitting at the cash register, and I looked around and everything was John Waters' movies "merch". I managed to mumble nervously that I was a huge fan, and left. That's all she wrote!

I'll pass on the seizure inducing duck.The card games do look like fun if you're drunk, but I am alcohol free. So no again. I am going to take a punt on the carnivorous plant kit at £11. This feature works so much better as a video. Thanks!
