Episode 44 - The Mountain of April Releases and Partner Month Announcements
Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time.<br /><br />In Episode 44 we get our wings up, our scentific mondo clipboards out, pop on a classical piano nocturne and lock in on an epic journey through 7 VSL releases in April, 2 other sublabels, 2 mainline, and the OCN titles we could get to. <br /><br />We begin by reviewing the partner label titles that we bought during the first day of the sale and quickly pivot to all of the April releases. <br /><br />June is going to be a little different for Punk Vacation. We have multiple partner label interviews lined up and will pair each OCN focused episode with a bevy of Melusine titles from 2026.<br /><br />Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better. Always listening!<br /><br />Someone's Favorite Productions <br />https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/<br /><br />Eli can be found on most socials @eliolsberg, you can also catch his standup show the second Tuesday of every month at the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood.

Episode 43 - HWtBF Surprise Announcements with VS Restoration Artist and Filmmaker Kurtis Spieler
Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time.<br /><br />In Episode 43 we sit down with Kurtis Spieler. Kurtis is a key member of the restoration team at Vinegar Syndrome, but also is involved in many parts of behind the scenes production and even finds time to be a filmmaker. We talk about the Halfway to Black Friday surprise announcements, including a few that Kurtis played a major role in getting them out and ready to ship. <br /><br />As always, Kurtis is an amazing interview with tons of insight into the VS operations and a sincere love for his job and the work he's doing to preserve cinema. We even get to tease the Vampfriars and how it was directing Vinegar Syndrome's first fully in-house production.<br /><br />We will be back later in June in a different way during partner month. We will have a dedicated episode to cover the 500 movies that were released in April, and separately we're looking forward to highlighting some of the partner labels in a more focused way.<br /><br />Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better. Always listening!<br /><br />Someone's Favorite Productions <br />https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/<br /><br />Eli can be found on most socials @eliolsberg, you can also catch his standup show the second Tuesday of every month at the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood.

Episode 42 - May Announcements with Casey and Gentry from the Sin Syndicate
Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time.<br /><br />Episode 42 is reviewing the May announcements that we know. In preparation for Halfway to Black Friday, VS has released a portion of their slate in addition to a new slate of OCN partner titles. We are joined by film historian Casey Scott and film and culture writer Gentry Austin who run the amazing Sin Syndicate podcast. <br /><br />Casey is on record saying he has known Joe Rubin since he was 16 years old, and is a wealth of knowledge about VS and especially their golden age porno and sexploitation movies. Him and Gentry have many stories about the titles, the production of the discs, and overall this was a conversation Eli and I really loved. We had to try hard to keep it from going another 2 hours. They have already started showing up on commentaries and special features, including the Distribpix title this month, and it's easy to understand why. <br /><br />We will be back later in May to cover the full Halfway to Black Friday slate and discuss the overflowing cornucopia of April releases. <br /><br />Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better. Always listening!<br /><br />If you want to get a taste of the expertise Casey and Gentry bring to their film discussion you can follow them on Letterboxd: <br /><br />Gentry is simply <a href="https://letterboxd.com/gentryaustin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gentryaustin</a><br />Casey is <a href="https://letterboxd.com/manofsteel26/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">manofsteel26</a><br /><br />Someone's Favorite Productions <br />https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/<br /><br />Eli can be found on most socials @eliolsberg, you can also catch his standup show the second Tuesday of every month at the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood.
