Return of the Kings THE BOWERY BOYS COLLECTION, VOLUME TWO
(1946-55):
Slip, Sach and the rest of the crew are back for another heaping selection of
hilarity that delivers up a full decade of Bowery brou-ha-has. Charter the
Boys' course from their crime and Saturday-serial flavored comedy beginnings
alongside fellow Dead Enders Bobby Jordan and Gabe Dell to full on Stoogian
slapstick insanity, as Horace Debussy Jones, Jr. starts to take center stage.
Contains some of the Boys' most beloved outings including Spook Busters, Private
Eyes and perhaps their most famous outing, Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters. These
films have been remastered from the best available 35mm film elements. Initial
quantities of this release will be traditionally replicated (pressed) in
anticipation of high consumer demand. Includes: Spook Busters (1946)
Hard Boiled Mahoney (1947) Bowery Buckaroos (1947) Smuggler's Cove (1948) Ghost
Chasers (1951) Let's Go Navy!(1951) Hold That Line (1952) Loose in THE RICKY GERVAIS SHOW,
THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (2012) The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Steven
Merchant's popular podcast gets an animated remix to emerge as one of the
sprightliest and strange comedies to ever grace the cableways. With the
spotlight squarely cast on former Ricky Gervais Show radio producer, the
ineffable and improbable Karl Pilkington, this talk/toon mash-up takes us to
vistas hitherto only imagined by a 'round-headed buffoon'. Highlights from the
third season include Karl pitching a film about an actor trapped in the body of
Tom Cruise (played by Tom Cruise), a day in the life of Karl Pilkington, and
Karl ruminating on his personal highlight of the year, observing invertebrates
eating his biscuit (cf: cookie) on a window sill. Eddie Cantor: Ol' Banjo Eyes Eddie Cantor, "the apostle of pep," was an
original king of all media, vaulting from vaudeville to Broadway, WHOOPEE (1930) This two-strip Technicolor
musical comedy, adapted from Cantor's smash Broadway show, delivered hit songs
like "Makin' Whoopee" and “My Baby Just Cares for Me”
along with the dance number debut of a young choreographer by the name of Busby
Berkeley - whose signature powers are on full display. Cantor plays a
neuroses-laden hypochondriac (decades before Woodrow Allen) who becomes an
accidental matchmaker when he offers a ride to a runaway bride way out West.
Cantor becomes an unwilling Mercutio between the brides warring suitors -
Sheriff Bob Wells and local tribesman Wanenis. KID MILLIONS (1934) Cantor depicts a simple
Brooklyn boy who finds himself on a collision course with charlatans,
connivers, sheiks, and she-devils on the way to inherit a fortune in Blowing Smoke Down Under STONED BROS. (2009)
