Description
The Blus Brothers (formerly A Serious Disc Agreement) is a physical media review show on an omission from VOD. Alexei Toliopoulos (Finding Drago, Total Reboot) and Blake Howard (One Heat Minute) expand their IMPRINT COMPANION podcast to include the best physical media releases worldwide. For this episode, we're discussing Umbrella Entertainment's BEYOND GENRES - THE BEAST and CRASH.THE BEAST (LA BÊTE) (1975) (BEYOND GENRES #13) BLU-RAYLimited-edition O-ring packaging with exclusive new artwork and special features.A black comedy of sexual manners set around an arranged wedding to occur on the grounds of an elegant chateau, Walerian Borowczyk's controversial masterpiece The Beast should be approached with caution but relished with abandon!Infamous for the final scene where the titular beast ravishes American heiress Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel) on the eve of her wedding to a French aristocrat, the graphic scenes of the beast coupling with its human prey sees the daring Borowczyk (Immoral Tales) expound on the animalistic nature of human sexuality. Proving far too outrageous for the censors, The Beast was banned in numerous territories for decades. One of the most bizarre and surreal experiences ever filmed, this depraved tale of animal desire is at once wry, riotous and perverse—and remains a masterwork of arthouse erotic cinema.Director: Walerian BorowczykCast: Sirpa Lane, Lisbeth Hummel, Elisabeth KazaCRASH (1996) (BEYOND GENRES #14) BLU-RAYThe latest release and volume #14 for our Beyond Genres collection is the thriller Crash. The film is based on a novel by J.G. Ballard that goes by the same name. This Blu-ray release includes special features.After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his sex life with his wife. Crash is about the strange lure of the auto collision, provoking as it does the human fascination with death and the tendency to eroticize danger. Most motorists will slow down to stare at the scene of a collision they may feel their pulses quickening and become aware of the fragility of their own bodies. The characters of Crash carry this awareness a step further, cherishing and nurturing it. For them, a car collision is a sexual turn-on, and a jolting life force they come to crave.Director: David CronenbergCast: James Spader, Holly Hunter, Elias KoteasBlake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & Total RebootSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
