One of the great treats of TH-cam land is watching you go over Kino’s monthly releases, Heath. The excitement of seeing so many great titles each and every month by KL brings me great joy! Can’t wait to get my hands on Monster Squad 4K and the Columbo set!
The Emerald Forest is a gem of a movie, I have not seen it since the VHS days and is hard to find a copy that isn't priced pretty steep, until now-thank you Kino Lorber. The Aviators Wife & Boyfriends & Girldfriends are great films, again it's been a while now. Had a decent collection of Buster Keaton films at the video store that I worked at in the late 80s, amazing 17 sources were used for Our Hospitality. Thank you again for the great video!
What I really like about your Kino monthly update is that eventhough you get these review copies for free, you never overhype them or promote them. You just update us on what they are and say if you want it then get it.
Cheers for that. That's exactly what I try to do: give the viewer the info they need to make an informed purchase decision. I don't make any money (aside from a little ad revenue from views) either way, so I'm neutral.
I already preordered by copy of Columbo ! I love the box art too - it does have the 70’s tv guide / pulpy detective story feel . I love the art …. It is also ever so slightly avante garde . I appreciate all the feelings on the missing new audio commentaries but like yourself , have the dvds …… I can not wait for the 4K cleanup on the video !!!! Having a single package that has all the classic episodes in one place with a booklet and 4K remastering , is a big deal. Kino has just been hitting it out of the park . I had bought some film packages from Kino about 15-20 years ago when they were known more as a film preservation company , putting out high end dvd releases for foreign and silent film genres and eras . I had gotten the US and German horror box sets , which had so much historical / bonus features . Where the company has gone totally blows my mind . They are up there with all the top specialty labels . Just how they’ve jumped on 4K is surprising and I appreciate, as they are helping with classic film / tv preservation. I’m more of a cult person - I love horror , sci fi , suspense , fantasy , animation and martial arts . However their work on classic films has made me jump on expanding my interests a bit - with films like Manchurian Candidate , The Longest Yard , To Live and Die in LA , 3 Days of the Condor , and others - they’ve gotten me hooked on their reissues . The extras , packaging and remastering and choices / variety of films being chosen for rerelease and / or 4K is excellent. Companies like Arrow , Scream Factory , Second Sight and others , rightly get kudos - Kino (and the UK company Indicator) are my votes for most underrated and quality companies…. Consistently blowing me away . Thanks for the monthly Kino update !!! Loved the interview with Frank Tarzi !!!
Great new Kino update, Heath! Thanks for always doing these for us! I'm waiting for Monster Squad and Emerald Forest to ship out for some reason. I preordered on day 1 so hopefully I will hear more soon. Columbo is a must get for me, might make that my Xmas gift from the family 😂
Good to hear about your enthusiasm for Kino’s Columbo release! I have Universal’s 2018 DVD release - which includes all seven seasons, 24 TV movies, and a few bonus features, including three episodes of the (nearly unwatchable, IMO) Mrs Columbo spin-off. Just started watching Season 5 and am loving it!
When I think of Keith I think of Columbo! Another awesome video where I was able to learn a bit more about the films and added additional releases to my KL wish list for the next sale
Thanks so much once again Heath. I bought the Imprint Carpetbaggers but I love that movie so double dipped straight away with the KL version upon you saying it's from a new 4K scan.
Nice update Heath. You made me laugh when you said your Mom liked Monk. My Mom is the same way. I had bought her the complete series on DVD a few years back. I would buy her the bluray but she wouldn't care about the quality difference! 😂
Monster Squad - big difference between the covers is that Phoebe the Feb finally gets her rightful place in the Squad photo on the cover. Can’t wait to dig into the docs and features on it as well. Love Kino and love these monthly vids. Thank you Heath!
As always, great video Heath! I wish I could buy everything Kino Lorber releases. I definitely plan on picking up Monster Squad at some point. Monk is a great show and I plan on picking every season at some point.
From the description of the type of movies you want to see, Eric Rohmer's films should be right up your alley. They are grown up stories about life, love and human feats and foibles.
Columbo is one of my favorite shows. This new release looks fantastic and will definitely be on my list to buy. I've seen a few episodes of MONK, but it was not my type of show. Thanks again Heath for another great video!
Haven't watched your video yet, but i can't wait to get that Columbo set. I know they dropped some extras (from your last interview with the guy), but i don't know what exactly. I don't really mind the extras, i just want a good restoration
Heath, I’m curious if you’ve heard anything about the French release of the Complete Series Blu-ray boxset set to be released on Dec. 5th on Amazon France. I’d like to know if the French release is the same restoration as the Kino Lorber one or if it’s a completely different restoration altogether. It also looks like the French release will include some bonus features exclusive to their boxset.
I'm going to need to check out Salvation (1987) because it sounds interesting. First, I'm going to give Homicide Hills a try. I had never heard of either previously.
I have a very important question. As a fellow physical media collector, I need your opinion on something. I just received the season one of Monk on Blu-ray in the mail and the cover artwork is in a really bad condition. The spine is slashed. the back is dented. The front is smashed in several places and it has some gunk on it that I can’t identify. My mom thinks I’m over reacting but I am thinking about returning it to get a new copy. What do you think?
@@CerealAtMidnight yeah after sending this and talking to a couple friends I ended up deciding to go ahead and do the return. My replacement should be here next week. Sadly both of my Mandalorian seasons on 4K also showed up damaged but not bad enough for me to want to go through the hassle of returning those as well
Frank Tarzi has addressed this in the last two interviews. If the Blu-ray sells well, we will see it Blu-ray, but it will probably be at least 2 years. Blu-ray is ALWAYS a test market for a potential 4K. It's the canary in the coal mine.
@@CerealAtMidnight Right! Frank T and Kino won’t release it on 4k anytime soon, if ever. Your interview with him was great. I learned a ton about those decisions made between blu ray and 4k. It’s not as simple as so many people think.
Thanks Heath! I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend! Columbo is awesome! I’m still waiting on my order. Two days in the Valley and Emerald Forest, are both on my list to purchase. Emerald Forest has been so hard to find for a long time, now, how about Excalibur?! I’ve been watching my DVD version for 20 years:)
Bought Kino Lorber Freddie Francis 1966 movie the Psychopath on blu ray. I also have the dvd and reckon it looks better than the blu ray. Love Amicus movies.
Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, The Man From Uncle, Adam-12, The Munsters, The Addams Family, Dragnet, Mannix, Hawaii Five-0, Route 66, The Fugitive, I Spy, Get Smart, The Saint, Dennis The Menace, That Girl, F Troop, The Dukes of Hazzard, to name just a few.
Ha! I love being able to answer questions. It's the gatekeeping, attacks, and the things I've repeated 100 times that I feel are falling on deaf ears that tend to irritate me. Legit questions are always welcome.

Every month Heath makes my wallet cry with these videos it's wonderful

Thanks, Heath! I appreciate the hard work! God bless and stay safe!
I just bought the three Eric Rhomer films. I like and own a few of his other films. Thanks for the tip and another great video!
I binge watched every episode of Monk. Over one hundred episodes. Great series!

monk is fantastic! i used to watch it with my mom all the time. so glad to hear they will be doing to whole series

😅😂 at your Robert DeNiro impression. Yes i caught it haha
When I think of Keith I think of Columbo! Another awesome video where I was able to learn a bit more about the films and added additional releases to my KL wish list for the next sale
Thanks so much once again Heath.
I bought the Imprint Carpetbaggers but I love that movie so double dipped straight away with the KL version upon you saying it's from a new 4K scan.
They should used the TV Guide artwork for the boxset. The cigar is iconic.
Nice update Heath. You made me laugh when you said your Mom liked Monk. My Mom is the same way. I had bought her the complete series on DVD a few years back. I would buy her the bluray but she wouldn't care about the quality difference! 😂

monk is a great show I was obsessed with it for ages its genius
Great video ! Learned a lot from that Frank Tarzi Interview! Gave me a new appreciation for the overall process.
Some brilliant releases..most excited for the Emerald Forest..has a stereo mix improving over last release mono
I live in Savannah, Gator has that Spanish moss (pineapple family) drapping off the Oak trees.
As always, great video Heath! I wish I could buy everything Kino Lorber releases. I definitely plan on picking up Monster Squad at some point. Monk is a great show and I plan on picking every season at some point.
In a word" marvellous" stacked to the top with goodies. Many thanks from the UK.😊
I so wanna get "2 Days in the Valley", I've been waiting a long time for this to hit blu-ray
I'm so excited about the carpetbaggets, I have had such a hard time finding it in Blu Ray!
From the description of the type of movies you want to see, Eric Rohmer's films should be right up your alley. They are grown up stories about life, love and human feats and foibles.
Thanks Heath for another great KL release video & I have the blu-ray of "IT: the terror from beyond space" which btw is the inspiration for "ALIEN"
Columbo is one of my favorite shows. This new release looks fantastic and will definitely be on my list to buy. I've seen a few episodes of MONK, but it was not my type of show. Thanks again Heath for another great video!
Shane on 4K!....hell yeah.
In regards to Christopher Nolan, I received a 4K review copy of Oppenheimer and was able to give 4 Blu rays away on my website.
I don’t have a habit of watching movies beyond 1980 but I do have a habit of watching Cereal at Midnight.
I am so surprised that there is no picture of Robert Culp on the back of the Columbo set. Culp appeared several times and should be acknowledged.
Kino releases so much each month, it’s crazy! Monster Squad does look fantastic though and is one heck of a release
I'm so pumped that KL is releasing Monk.
Haven't watched your video yet, but i can't wait to get that Columbo set. I know they dropped some extras (from your last interview with the guy), but i don't know what exactly. I don't really mind the extras, i just want a good restoration
They dropped all the audio commentaries for ever episode!
Thanks Heath. Kino Lorber completely rocks. Agree that we need more adult narrative driven movies. So done with men in tights movies.
James Spader in 2 days is great

It also looks like the French release will include some bonus features exclusive to their boxset.
I haven't heard anything, but I can't imagine it's using different masters. Universal struck the new 4K masters and that's what they're licensing out.
Love Columbo 😁 btw.. I think Brazzers still do Blurays if you want them adult titles 🤣🤣
I'm going to need to check out Salvation (1987) because it sounds interesting. First, I'm going to give Homicide Hills a try. I had never heard of either previously.
Are the Mrs Columbo episodes on the Columbo Blu-ray set I do not think that complete series has ever been released in the uS ?
No, Mrs. Columbo is not included and has never been officially released, as far as I know.
Mrs. Columbo is god awful
Are the Kino blu rays region free? I only import 4K because they are region free. (I live in the Netherlands, Europ)
No, they're usually locked to Region A.
Last Tycoon is the only time DeNiro and Nicholson shared the screen
Does Kino Lorber give digital redemption codes for Movies Anywhere?
No, that's something that only the studios offer. They retain digital rights.

If it bothers you, definitely return it and get a replacement.

MONK is excellent; got the entire run on DVD. Will have to decide if I want to upgrade, but I can't say that it is not tempting.
Enjoyed sassy Heath this month 😆😆
Mark my words- 2 DAY IN THE VALLEY will have a 4k disc in year. (This blu ray is from a 4k scan)
They want $$ for the double dip

What does "drive in movie" mean?
Bought Kino Lorber Freddie Francis 1966 movie the Psychopath on blu ray. I also have the dvd and reckon it looks better than the blu ray. Love Amicus movies.
What other retro TV releases would you like to see on Blu-ray? I'd love to see Daria on BR.
Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, The Man From Uncle, Adam-12, The Munsters, The Addams Family, Dragnet, Mannix, Hawaii Five-0, Route 66, The Fugitive, I Spy, Get Smart, The Saint, Dennis The Menace, That Girl, F Troop, The Dukes of Hazzard, to name just a few.
@Cereal At Midnight bro Heath Please review the new BLACKHAT release
Love Columbo show need get
Yeah- WHERE IS OUR EXCALIBUR 4K?!!
Do we know who did the cover art?
An artist named Tony Stella
I'm glad I never ask Heath any questions in the comments cuz I'd feel like a called-out mofo fool.
Ha! I love being able to answer questions. It's the gatekeeping, attacks, and the things I've repeated 100 times that I feel are falling on deaf ears that tend to irritate me. Legit questions are always welcome.
Huge Colombo original series fan. Glad to hear of this release. Not a big fan of the later movies with him. They were okay but not classic imo.
Kino is keeno
