    Phantasm: Revision (2016) with Bones and DK

    In this episode, Chris is joined by Bones from 5 Day Rentals and DK from Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink to discuss 'Phantasm Revision,' a fan edit by Jorge Torres-Torres that condenses all five Phantasm films into a single, 90-minute feature.

    Welcome to Dead Formats, a movie podcast all about, you guessed it, dead formats. But it’s not just about videotapes and laserdiscs. It’s about any of the types of movies that just don’t get made anymore – interactive movies, made-for-TV stuff, shot-on-video films, that sort of thing. If it’s obscure, bizarre, or almost unwatchable, we want to talk about it. Every two week join Chris and a different guest host as we discuss the forgotten sides of cinema. Let’s breathe some new life into these dead formats together.
