    Warner Bros executive George Feltenstein and Hong Kong Cinema expert and Warner Bros archivist Jeff Briggs join the podcast to discuss Hong Kong Cinema and the Golden Harvest library of films owned by Warner Bros.

    Jeff Briggs provides a brief history of Hong Kong Cinema, starting with the Shaw Brothers and then the development of Golden Harvest in the 1970s and 1980s. George Feltenstein provides background on the partnership between Golden Harvest and Warner Bros with Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon” in 1973 and how that later led to the purchase of a portion of the Golden Harvest Library. He also discusses the release of some of the Golden Harvest films on DVD and on the now-defunct Warner Archive streaming service, FilmStruck, before diving into a review of the two films that have been released on Blu-ray, the Jackie Chan films “Mr. Nice Guy” and “Drunken Master II.” George details the restoration that went into these films and Jeff corrects the misperceptions that have surrounded the “Drunken Master II” subtitles and language selections. And finally, George briefly discusses some of the future release plans for the Golden Harvest titles through the Warner Archive.

    On January 6th, 2022 the film community lost two titans of cinema, director/film historian Peter Bogdanovich and actor/director Sidney Poitier. Recently film historian Constantine Nasr interviewed Peter Bogdanovich for a special feature for the Blu-ray release of Preston Sturges's film, “The Great Moment,” along with Tom Sturges, the son of the director. It may have been one of the last on-camera appearances for Mr. Bogdanovich in his well-accustomed role of film historian and Constantine relates stories from their time together. Constantine also details his thoughts on the career of the ground-breaking actor Sidney Poitier. He reads transcripts from the extras he produced for the DVD releases of the comedies Mr. Poitier directed. And he discusses the current lack of access to some of the films of both Bogdanovich and Poitier.

    Former Warner Bros Entertainment Senior Vice President of Creative Content Paul Hemstreet joins the podcast to talk about the 1999 film, The Matrix, and its historic DVD release and the impact that release had on the Home Entertainment market and the development of DVD extras.

    One of the first Warner Home Video employees tasked with producing DVD extras, Paul has great insight into the nascent DVD market in the late 1990s and gives background on Warner Bros commitment to ensuring the new format was successful. He also shares stories of working with the actors, directors, and Silver Pictures, the production company behind The Matrix, on the commentaries and amazing behind-the-scenes featurettes that showcased this mind-bending film.

    The Matrix was the first DVD to sell over a million copies, the first to sell 3 million and has gone on to sell over 30 million copies, and counting. The DVD received rave reviews, in part due to its ground-breaking extras which showcased the potential of DVD branching in the “Follow the White Rabbit” extra.
