DukeFest Cancelled

Hello everyone, we had originally hoped to hold DukeFest in July 2020 but with the continued virus situation we’re officially going to cancel the festival for this year. It’s sad to do this but right now it’s not possible to hold a film festival, so instead of trying to delay things even more we’re just going to fully cancel this year and look to return in 2021. We miss all of you and hope things are alright for everyone.

We’ve actually been hard at work on the content for the festival and have a huge amount of the shows done, so we really hope to come back in 2021 and share it all with you!

As a small bonus for there being no festival this year here’s a short special treat for you that we found this year, it’s the G Street Live meets David Lynch and Twin Peaks mash up that you never knew you wanted…

Don’t forget you can get a constant DukeFest fix via our YouTube channel where we’re uploading new rare footage and fun finds almost daily now – find it here.

All our love to everyone out there, take care and we’ll see you soon!

 

 

 

 

20th Century Fox – The VHS Years

This 20th Century Fox VHS trailer tape turned up on ebay recently, it was odd to see as I’d never come across this series of tapes before despite having worked in the video retail for a good few years by that point, I figured I would have seen these tapes around somewhere. Unless that is they were for Rental stores, which is very possible as well.

Anyway I knew it would be very mainstream titles on it, but was hoping for at least some sort of dealer info or maybe a fun intro, but now, it’s simply 7 theatrical trailers played back-to-back with nothing else. Still it is interesting to see how different films looked and felt even just 19-years back, there’s no superhero films and only one sequel. I’ve uploaded it now to our YouTube channel, take a watch below.

Featured on the tape are:

Legend Of Bagger Vance

Say It Isn’t So!

Tigerland

Dr Dolittle 2

Monkeybone

Men Of Honour

Anti-Trust

And heading back about 20-years from this tape, here’s a look back to the very early 1980s and the second in the CBS / FOX The Hit List trailers tapes!

I just uploaded this full episode of The Morton Downey Jr. Show from 1989 to our YouTube channel, it’s the second episode of his two parter featuring a look at Rock ‘N’ Roll with special guests in the studio. But it’s not quiet site down show as the Morty show pioneered the trash talking studio fighting in your face style of show that would be picked up by Jerry Springer etc later on. Here we have rock musician, critics and fans all going up against in each other in a very confrontational style, it’s all obviously played up for the camera but it’s still a very fun watch. Featured on the show are:

Episode Features:

Joey Ramone – RAMONES

Ace Frehley – KISS

Scott Ian – Anthrax

Honey One Percenter & Queen Vixen – Cycle Sluts From Hell

Alex Mitchell – Circus Of Power

Steve Whitaker – Barren Cross

Jonny Z (Jon Zazula) – Megaforce Records

Stuart Goldman – Rock Critic

Jesse Nash – Rock Critic

David Clark – Genesis Magazine

Circus Of Power perform ‘Call Of The Wild’ live in the studio at the end of the show.

At the end of the video there’s an MTV news story reporting on the episode.
