- Criterion recently released DAZED & CONFUSED in 4KUHD. To celebrate, we walk down memory lane and review this landmark film. Later on we discuss the disc itself and take a closer look at the packing.
If you owned the Criterion Blu-Ray or DVD before it, you are not getting new features or packaging, but the picture upgrade may be worth it for die hard fans.
Did you pick this up? Is it one of your favorite films of all time? Let us know below!

Did you pick this up? Is it one of your favorite films of all time? Let us know below!
They're quite expensive releases in the UK. I'm also wondering why they've gone for exact packaging as the blu ray. Could you not argue that it's lazy?
Yeah, and pretty par for the course for most studios these days. This is the 3rd time they are using this package. It started with DVD.
I never buy Criterion as they are really expensive in Canada but I had to day 1. It's my 1A/1B with All the President's Men as my all time favorites. Thanks for another great vid!
I absolutely did pick this up and upgraded my criterion blu ray. First time I saw this film was fresh out of high school by a year I believe it was 4/20 Easter Sunday lit up and watched and fell in love and I always revisit every couple years for sure!
Just tried watching mine today and it skips and freezes up at chapter 9. All other 4K works. I played alot and am really disappointed
Russ, you are indeed a principled man.
Pink refuses to sign the sobriety note for the football coach and the 11 year old Russ instinctively knew it was the truth.
30 years later you won’t be quiet when a superstar like Tom Hanks speaks out of both sides of his mouth regarding his role in “Philadelphia”.
We both agree : principles matter.
I was in high school when this came out and this was my high school years.
I was a sophomore in high school in 1976 and this film is so spot on its scary...so many scenes I can relate to like driving around as a freshman with a bunch of older kids and smoking pot and drinking beer for the first time...getting home at 4am and trying to sneak in before my mom and dad woke up
Preach it, Russ. You mirror my feelings on Dazed and Confused. Keep up the killer content gents.
Thank you, Sean. It's nice to see I'm not alone in how high (lol) I hold this film.
Russ you have me intrigued on why Matt would be 50/50 on this movie. Just curious. Thanks guys for another awesome vid keep up the good work.
That is a good question, I thought about it more after watching this and the honest answer is... I'd be heartbroken to hear him just casually praise it or worse, not like it. This and a few other movies are so deeply rooted in who I am, it would just hurt.
My answer while filming would be, I know Matt has seen 2 other Linklater films and it didn't seem like he cared that much. I know Dazed plays way broader than Before Sunrise, but there are still similarities.
Basically, I don't think it would blow him away and I know his purchasing style. I think he should watch it (I may show him soon) but blind buying I couldn't recommend.
I’ve been going through your older videos to plug any gaps in my collection and knowledge, it’s been a wild ride, lol….but I’ve loved every second, thank, guys!!
Haha, glad it's been enjoyable!
That's awesome... let us know if you agree or disagree, etc. We genuinely want to know.
„Linklater confessed surprise at the unironic affection with which younger audiences embraced the movie and its trappings. “You know the way ‘Graffiti’ did kick off a nostalgia for the fifties?” he said. “I was thinking, O.K., there’s no way this film will ever kick off a nostalgia for the seventies. I’m going to make a film to show how the seventies kind of sucked, believe it or not, how kind of repetitious and boring all of it was-even though I guess I made it look too fun.” He laughed. “It was funny to realize, Oh, shit, people like this!” (The New Yorker March 23)
This is a great film. I used to watch this on cable all the time. My dvd was defective and I have not revisited Dazed in a long time so it's due.
I need to give this film another try. So much about it should be up my street, as it reminds me a lot of American Graffiti (just about a different generation) which I love, love 70s set movies, great cast, great soundtrack. I remember being cold on it for whatever reason
It’s a top-ten film for me. I definitely got it and can’t wait to see it in 4K. This is a pretty regular watch for me so why not see it in the best way possible! Fantastic film - Funny, sentimental and just about perfect.
I have never seen this movie. I am watching it this weekend.
Let us know what you think!
Growing up in the UK, I had never even heard of this movie until I moved to Canada and I still haven't see it. Based on this vid, I'm certainly interested in picking this up. Hopefully there will be a Criterion flash-sale soon as their shipping cost is $23 for us suckers up north.
To anyone who hasn't seen this, watch it. If you aren't crazy about it, I'd recommend you watch it again at some point because for myself and many others who I've spoken to, it only gets better with repeat viewings.
It's like having a great memory and being able to relive it fully... I know that sounds over the top and corny, but it really is. Moreso than any other film for me, especially teen ones.
I watch this in the beginning of every summer as a double feature with American Graffiti :)
American Graffiti is great and a clear influence as well... I used to watch Dazed on the last day of school every year growing up.
My favorite hangout movie is The Big Lebowski but this is also special in its own right. I didn't know this was McConaughey's first movie role! what a natural. I have seen his debut on Unsolved Mysteries. He was part of a reenactment ...a young man who mowing the lawn and saw a shady guy trying to lure a kid away and intervened. He was shot and killed RIP.
Just picked this up today after work. This one is top 5 for me. I've owned about 5 different versions of it throughout my life and have passed them onto others with each upgrade. I feel like I'll have this 4K forever, though.
Same, Matt... I even had the HD-DVD.
Absolutely one of my favorite movies. I remember seeing in the theaters with my brother and my dad and wanting to watch it every summer as a tradition. I wouldn’t watch it until summer because the movie got me so excited it would be to go back to school after watching this on a weekend. I just got my copy today at the criterion collection sale but it says Director cut on it and I’m wondering is this a different movie or just like the Richard supervised directors edition?
This is definitely in my top 10. I'm not picking this up right now, I'm waiting for November.
Of course Dazed & Confused is better, but I absolutely LOVED Everybody Wants Some!! The scene where they're cruising down the road singing along to Rappers Delight is an all-time favorite. Just so much fun.
It's good, I own it... but I do think the cast just didn't quite gel and in a film like that, chemistry is a necessity. I remember thinking it felt like the cast was aware they were in a "Dazed" type movie rather than feeling natural. Death Proof felt like that to me also, like the actors were hyper aware they're in a QT movie. Almost like they were doing Samuel L Jackson impressions.
I couldn't get into Daze and Confused. I don't know why, I love That 70's Show and the 70s time period. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I may give it another watch as it's been a few years
I ended up liking the first couple seasons of That 70s Show, but when it debuted I avoided it because it looked like Dazed-lite in sitcom format. When I finally came around, I realized I was wrong. I should have never doubted Kurtwood Smith.
Great video guys, long time viewer, I was rewatching this because I liked the music. Can you please tell me what the song is for the intro and outro for this vid, so chill. Much love guys!
Thanks, Noah! All the music you hear in our videos was also made by us. Russ and I have made music together for years prior to putting up this channel. We have our stuff on YT here: youtube.com/@promkings1758
That particular song is called Alison Brie.
@@4K_Kings thanks for replying, great song, you guys can do it all!
Man I want this. But it's a pricey one
What's your favorite name for a character's paddle?
Soul Pole, but this movie did introduce me to "Fah-Q" which 11 year-old me thought was brilliant and scribbled on multiple school notebooks.
Just got the blu ray ffs
I've got the limited edition blu, love Dazed and Confused. Boyhood 4K comes out this month which I might pick up. Not his best work but I still enjoy it. SubUrbia would also be a good one to get a new release. Films like Empire Records, The Breakfast Club, Reality Bites, Clueless, Fast Times, etc. Make me feel young again lol.
His Suburbia never made it to blu... now that I think about it, was it ever on DVD?
Not in the UK, but I think you got a DVD in the US.
@@KirkRedgate I remember for the longest time it wasn't on DVD here, maybe it released after I stopped looking. I always assumed it had something to do with the music rights, namely Sonic Youth. I grew up on that as well, watched it a ton in 10th grade (year it came out for me) but it was marketed way wrong. Every ad played like it was Dazed Part 2, when it was an Eric Bogosian play that gets dark. I'd pick up a blu or 4K day one if it released though.
@@russceasetheruss5360 Yeah quite possibly, hadn't occurred to me. I see Sonic Youth live at ATP Nightmare Before Christmas in 2006, that takes me back lol. I forgot they were on the soundtrack. I haven't watched SubUrbia in years. It's no surprise they tried marketing it as Dazed 2, trying to cash in. I discovered the film a bit later, around 2001 early college years. I see Slacker and Dazed a couple years before. I didn't know it was originally a play, that's cool.
@@KirkRedgate I'll blow your mind further... it's an Eric Bogosian play, if you don't know his name you know who he is... He's the bad guy in Under Siege 2 amongst other roles lol.
Off topic. Do you think Fight Club 🤭🤫 will come to 4K?
No news on it, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I know people are dying for Panic Room, so not sure which Fincher will get first.
We'd like to tell you, but we adhere to the first and second rules of Fight Club.
I'm not going to complain. I'm a 80s kid and this is not my Era. Its a good film but I'm in no rush to add it to my collection. It's just not raw enough for me. I'm more of a Over the Edge type of guy.
I'm an 80s baby as well, so I have to ask... when was the last time you attempted it? Watching it while older, it has more bite than you probably recall (namely with the profanity), but yeah, it's no Over the Edge.
What’s depressing is that if made today it would be about high school kids in 2007😮
