Catching up on @schoolofmovies.bsky.social’s catalogue from the last couple of months plus their recent episodes on various Shakespeare adaptations. Genuinely one of the most delightful and i̶n̶t̶e̶r̶e̶s̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ engaging podcasts I had the pleasure of listening to.

Tonight on School of Movies, we're starting off Rocky Season with one of the all-time greats. Even if you don't give a toss about boxing the original Rocky (1976) will have you air-punching by the end and eager for Rocky II (It was *never* about boxing) schoolofmovies.podbean.com/e/rocky-rock...

Launching the first of a three-part retrospective on the Rocky series today. It is fifty years old now, and the six movies range from good to fantastic! We begin right now with Rocky (1976) & Rocky II (1979) schoolofmovies.podbean.com/e/rocky-rock...

On School of Movies tonight; Odds are you haven't seen this loopy space opera from 1980, in which case you're missing out on a film as earnest as it is lurid, Flash Gordon brought a phenomenal cast and a score by Queen to abidingly beloved cult status! schoolofmovies.podbean.com/e/flash-gord...

For a body of work so intimidatingly academic and so studied by decorated scholars for centuries, Shakestember has been surprisingly fun. These are all really good shows about some of Billy Shakes' best (and worst) movie adaptations. schoolofmovies.podbean.com/e/william-sh...

On School of Movies tonight, we are talking about the best adaptation of the best Shakespeare Comedy; Much Ado About Nothing. Sharing an uncanny similarity with last week's Romeo + Juliet it threatens palpable tragedy in a way that makes the humour stronger schoolofmovies.podbean.com/e/much-ado-a...

You can even remove that pesky “skip credits” thing and get your bonus content on it. So yeah, maybe something worth looking into if loading a player isnt exactly easy in your viewing room.

But my big thing with physical too is that I rip my blu rays and bonus content (DVD’s too) and place them on my own Plex server for easy access. Not everyone has the means to do this, but if you have the aptitude, its worth your time as you can get the instant access, with the benefits of physical.

I think resolution bumps alone dont really work out the way you would expect. For me, the better thing about 4K Blu-ray’s (depends on the release) is HDR. Specifically Dolby Vision. Blade runner 2049 especially pops in my view. But this is the kind of thing where YMMV.

@schoolofmovies.bsky.social I am listening to the “Own your stuff” episode and wanna say its FANTASTIC! It’s been a personal goal to own physical as much as possible in my collection. A couple notes though. I largely agree with your stance on 4K content.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

As tragic as Parton's death has been, it cannot hold a candle to the TRIUMPH of her life, devoted to kindness. I love how she has asked mourning fans to donate to this Imagination Library instead of blowing all our money on sad flowers for her.

I got into record collecting just under 2 years ago and it kind of took over my life media-wise! I make weekly trips to the local used record shop and look forward to it every time. And while I understand the cost sounding like a lot, a used LP will set you back $5-15 unless it's something rare 1/?
