Mark and I cut into this variation on Wells’ ‘Island of Doctor
Moreau’ searching for the best parts and throwing out the worst. We disagree on
a few elements with me decrying lip gloss and high heels while Mark makes the case
for a shortened running time. But we agree on how much the film is improved by
the recent HD release on Blu-Ray. This film has spent decades being presented to
viewers in terrible prints on sub-par video releases that made it difficult to pay
attention to the often excellent qualities onscreen. Now it’s possible to see
the movie in a crisp, clear version that allows all the fine work done to be
appreciated. Of course, it also allows us to focus on the less well-done
aspects too. But this is a film that falls much more on the positive side than
the negative and I will keep insisting on that until Mark shuts up!
We don’t stray too far off topic but if there are any odd
side roads that you think we should travel down further in the future please let
us know. The podcast email address is thebloodypit@gmail.com
or we can be reached on the show’s FaceBook page. Thanks for listening and we’ll
be back soon!
