Green Room reminds me of the movie Cube (1997). Engaging from start to finish, a bit underrated and no 4K release yet. I've seen virtually no review of the movie Valentine (2001). Probably a forgotten gem. Had watched in theater, left a lasting impression, particularly the Dolby audio track, the floor shaking bass.

Keep those suggestions coming my friend - I’ll be checking them out. I’ve not seen Cube nor Valentine and with some ground shaking bass in my theater room, I’m all in!

I have City Of The Living Dead Arrow 4K and also Aliens 4K coming in the mail soon. I really hoped you enjoyed City - it was in my opinion a great Fulci flick.

My review and full unboxing is filmed and set to drop Wednesday. I did enjoy it but do wish he had gone more into the Book of Enoch. Don’t get me wrong I’m cool with just zoning out and enjoying a great flick and this was certainly that, but I LOVE talking about “perspective” and “learning” through physical media. But yeah - I enjoyed it…didn’t love the ending but I get it was meant to be “interpreted.” Glad you got a copy because I noticed going back on Arrow it is sold out.

Maybe I need to see Possessors again, but I didn’t think it was about preventing future crimes. It seemed that organization only cared about getting paid to take out targets. That makes it morally complicated. Another thing about the film is that it uses no CGI, even though it looks like it does. As shown in the extras, it’s all practical effects.

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

You may be right my friend - maybe it wasn’t future crimes but just taking out who they deem as “bad actors.” I was actually confusing it with Minority Report as I called that out I think. Regardless it was a very interesting take on a sci-fi thriller type of film. I probably throw around the term “CGI” way too much- and I need to watch more special features to help me learn about the films. Hasn’t always been my jam as I have SO MANY films to catch up on a watch - but I will get into it one day.

New subscriber to your channel today so looking forward to catching up on some of your previous videos.. Loved Green Room so I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you've not seen it in the few weeks since you've uploaded this video lol Love myself all things Second Sight.. massive fan of High Tension (Switchblade Romance) so be interesting to hear your thoughts on it when you've watched it 😎👍

Thank you for the sub my guy! Lots more coming here on the channel…so I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride!

Great video! I'm also a VS subscriber. I didn't buy the VSL last month. However, I did watch the 3 main releases and Goin' South. Singapore Sling is something else. Let us know what you think.

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

I’m gonna check out Singapore Sling soon so I’ll definitely throw out something on it…or at least if nothing else I’ll respond here. I am releasing a VS haul update tomorrow that will detail the full unboxings. I didn’t realize “Story of a Junkie” is actually VSL release #9 but I call that out on the upcoming vid. Hope you’ll check it out 👍🏼

Green Room is excellent, but I'm not to fond of the Second Sight artwork. It looks like a zombiefilm.

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

You’re kinda right - I do like the “green” but now looking at it again I see what you mean. I’m definitely going to be watching this one soon. Maybe I’ll even do a standalone review of it…

Going to check out some of these, Possessor, Green Room, High Tension...but before that, I'm going to order that Stout you were sipping, lol. Enjoyed the video in all its coziness. Btw, the video does play at 4k on yt but unfortunately, the PQ looks the same. Looks like the video is suffering too much from processing and compression, with mild pixelation and blurriness. I'm using Sony X95L and good 4k quality (Some other review contents like mkbhd, mrwhosetheboss, digital trends etc.) play quite well on that. Secondly, the audio is still sounding suppressed. Other than that, the show rocks as ever. Tip: May it'd help to think of more intriguing titles and keywords/phrases for your content to get more visibility/traction. May be more controversial titles, demystifying words and phrases, lol

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

Enjoy those films if you pick them up - Possessor is a strong recommend if you’ve not yet seen. And yes - I enjoy a delicious Imperial Stout from time to time. There will be a vid coming that may not show in 4k as it was recorded a few days ago, but I think I figured it out for moving forward. I’ll continue to research and try and see if maybe it might be the lighting in my basement I can tweak to help or maybe some other settings in OBS or Kapwing. For the audio I did bump it to 120% volume and didn’t get any lip sync issues so I can likely continue bumping it up. I’m going to keep doing all I can for my subscribers to enjoy my content both from an audio and video quality aspect. I’d love to know one day what your entire set up is. You clearly know your stuff! One thing I’ll tell you my friend is I ain’t going anywhere…gonna keep doing what I do and will work on titles, thumbnails, and descriptions that may get some more views. I’d be lying if I said I don’t want as many as I can get, but I do really just enjoy doing this and can’t see myself stopping (views or not). But you have been so very helpful so thank you. You’re awesome!

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

So I did go back and compare this vid to my other ones and you’re absolutely right about the audio. I had changed the OBS recording settings for what was supposed to be higher quality but holy hell did it suppress the volume. I’ll be going back to the default settings for now as that was way better. Also - I’m going to look into getting a new higher end camera to record on. I’ve been using my iPhone 14 Pro because I thought the camera was supposed to be pretty good…but I don’t think it is going to compare to a device specifically made for filming. That could be what you’re seeing on your end from a video standpoint unless Kapwing is doing something to it upon exporting when I’m done editing. I have one more vid coming out Wednesday with these “tweaked settings” (already recorded) and after that my future recordings will be trying something new. I’m going to keep using you as my guide 😉

@@ungraduatedmedia I absolutely don't know anything about content creation and video editing. So won't pretend to be your guide, lol. But I do appreciate your kind words. You're doing great already. I'm only looking at it from viewer's perspective but with an eye and ear of an exprienced A/V enthusiast. And what I've noticed in general is the contents which have high quality A/V have higher viewership & success factor. Comparison is another factor that sells, lol. If you start comparing PQ/AQ between bluray vs 4K physical media as a routine thing or your USP in your content, I believe the viewership will increase and a win-win coz' people like to know honest opinion if it's worth upgrading. And I think you'll do great in this area, as you've before.

@@Sas-wk9lj- well…give me a little bit but I’m going to keep on tweaking. I need to order the new camera and play around with it some and mess with the audio settings some more too. But I’ll get it there…. Appreciate you as a great viewer with some great feedback.

Like your prospective on Anarchy. I myself don't vote because I'm not in favor of a ruling class. People are so caught up in the cult of government and the cult of personality. This idea of team red or team blue is toxic and played by mainstream media to divide one another. I have to stay informed but I hate politics. Thanks for the video. Long live physical media. 🤙

@ungraduatedmedia 4 ай бұрын

OMG - don’t even get me started lol!!! I’d call myself an “Anarchist” but people are “brainwashed” into what the ruling class has made society think about the meaning of that word because they WANT to stay in control and power. I can do without ALL the talking head puppets in our government’s… But THAT is a conversation for another vid 😉👍🏼

@@EmanuelV-li3vb- being “awake” in this life is one of the most difficult and lonely places one can find themselves. I have learned everything you said in your comment and now focus largely on simply “me” (meaning my happiness and not paying too much attention to the world) while trying to help others with some “perspective” if I can help plant a few seeds. But if they water those seeds watch out…red pill all the way and then getting outside the matrix can be a lonely place 😉 But I’d rather live the truth over living a lie… 💯
