Episode 51 - April Announcements & Iconoscope w/Brandon Upson & Amanda Reyes

It's August, which means there's a new slate of releases and we were so excited to see Iconoscope return with TWO new titles, so we had to bring back Iconoscope founder and lead scanning tech at VS, Brandon Upson and we're thrilled to welcome a first time guest on the show: film and tv historian - and Iconoscope co-producer(!) - Amanda Reyes!! Amanda does incredible archival work in the film world, especially when it comes to made-for-TV movies, we talk with about the history and cultural impact of TV movies, the various projects she's worked on, and finally talking about the new titles: Death of a Cheerleader and Disappearance.Brandon then sticks around to chat with Chris and Eli about the August new releases, which include a Frank Sinatra neo-noir/slasher hybrid, some much needed restorations on the mainline making their 4K debut, and a couple of terrific surprises on the Melusine side.You can follow Amanda on IG and purchase her incredible book, Are You in the House Alone? on the VS site:https://www.instagram.com/madefortvmayhem/https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/are-you-in-the-house-alone-a-tv-movie-compendium-1964-1999-paperback-book?_pos=2&_psq=are+you+in&_psid=d80717ac9&_ss=eYou can also keep up with Iconoscope on IG and of course, pick up the new releases on VinSyn's site:https://www.instagram.com/iconoscope_label/https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/iconoscopeThank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better.
