As you may or may not have seen, I launched a new podcast called PURE CINEMA this week and I am extremely excited about it. Check out our first episode if you are so inclined and see what you think. That said, I had had another idea for my first solo podcasting outing brewing in my head for a little while and I got caught up in the infectiousness of the Pure Cinema show and went ahead and recorded my first episode of ANOTHER new show. I'm calling it JUST THE DISCS and it has a very basic premise. I will literally be putting together a stack of discs (mostly Blu-rays, but the occasional DVD as well) and going through them one by one throughout the course of each episode. It's really just an excuse for me to talk about some fun releases from cool labels that I like (Vinegar Syndrome, Kino Lorber, Olive Films, Warner Archive, Twilight Time and so forth) that I haven't gotten a chance to properly cover on Rupert Pupkin Speaks. Just the Discs is totally an extension of RPS and it's very much my stream-of-consciousness PUMP UP THE VOLUME type show (but about Blu-rays and movies in general) andI'm hoping it will be a fun side project. The show will start out on probably as monthly thing, but some months may have a couple episodes. I always have stacks of discs I'd like to discuss, but I can tell that with the other stuff I'm active with right now, it'll only be able to happen a few times a month. It's kind of an experiment honestly as I've never done a podcast by myself before. We'll see how this goes, but I hope you enjoy it! You can find the show on iTunes (and hopefully Stitcher very soon): Please subscribe if you like it! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/justthediscss-podcast/id1205661081 The show is also available on Stitcher: http://stitcher.com/s?fid=131109&refid=stpr and you can also listen to the show right here:

Below is the list of discs I covered on the first episode:
ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. - on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics
WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH - on Blu-ray from Warner Archive
DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE - on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome
BLOOD MANIA/POINT OF TERROR - on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome
THE STEWARDESSES - on 3D Blu-ray from Kino Lorber
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK - on Blu-ray from Warner Brothers
Love the idea. Looking forward to listen. I was afraid that with "Off the shelf" off the air I would miss my genre bluray fix. Thanks for these two great new shows.

Thank you!! Though Just The Discs may be only a monthly show, hopefully it'll fill a little bit of that void!
Loved the first episode. Keep them coming!
Thanks so much! Will likely be a monthly thing for now, but I will keep at it! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
