From the archives of filmmaker Paul Morrissey comes a tv news story about top model Sasha Mitchell, who would soon star in Morrissey's SPIKE OF BENSONHURST. SPIKE OF BENSONHURST will make its worldwide 4K UHD and Blu-ray debut from Fun City Editions in 2026. www.funcityeditions.com/films/spikeo...

finally watched LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS and i'm kind of annoyed at myself it took this long

Today's the b'day of @funcityeditions.bsky.social founder Jonathan Hertzberg, so the cool thing to do is order one of the awesome Blus he's released. Natch, I have my faves I contributed to, but instead, I suggest gems as NEIGE, T.R. BASKIN, DEEP IN THE HEART, or the upcoming SPIKE OF BENSONHURST.

A reminder that Paul Morrissey's SPIKE OF BENSONHURST plays once on 35mm this weekend at the Wisconsin Film Festival We will be there with Fun City Editions discs for sale before and after the show, too. wifilmfest.eventive.org/schedule/699...

Opening day of GOODBYE, COLUMBUS, 4/3/69 mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2017/10/ever...

My wish for Philip Roth’s birthday: someone gives @audacityofdespair.bsky.social a boatload of money to make a limited series out of the Goodbye, Columbus stories.

The last time I was at a drive in I was also in Michigan but on the other side of the state.

Southeast MI - if you are a fan of LADIES & GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS, there's a screening on Friday the 27th at the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In! there's a 2:1 deal going on right now: www.eventbrite.com/e/ladies-gen...

I've written pieces on a few of these. Would love to see any one of them theatrically.

There's a lot of gems in the @funcityeditions.bsky.social repertory catalog that savvy programmers should be tapping. Juliet Berto's NEIGE and Tony Garnett's DEEP IN THE HEART are particular favorites that should be in heavier rotation.

You may think of us as only a home video label, but we also hold theatrical/public performance rights for a number of films in our library. We finally have a page on our site dedicated to these films. Programmers, please get in touch us with via the link: www.funcityeditions.com/repertory

New article by @kphipps3000.bsky.social at The Reveal about the classic LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS, recently released on Blu-ray by @funcityeditions.bsky.social thereveal.film/she-said-wha...

Today at The Reveal: An appreciation of LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS (and misshapen but beloved cult films in general) inspired by its recent @funcityeditions.bsky.social re-release:

It’s been 30+ years since I last watched GOODBYE COLUMBUS. It’s been at the top of my “needs a blu ray release” list (along with THE HEARTBREAK KID (1972)) since forever. The coffee has been made, the house is quiet and now’s the time. #NowWatching

Be sure to listen all the way to the Staff Picks, where @aduralde.bsky.social gives a big recommendation to @funcityeditions.bsky.social's 4K release of LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS. And loving thanks for the name check! It's an honor to hear my name on one of my destination podcasts!

The Apprenticeships of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler Published in 1959, it is set in Montreal and follows the young life of Duddy Kravitz in the city. It was adapted into a film starring Richard Dreyfuss in 1974.

Today on my @justthediscs.bsky.social channel, I’m talking about four of my favorite discs of 2026 so far! ( @funcityeditions.bsky.social + @filmsradiance.bsky.social ) youtu.be/AiemSccMKss?...

First time we've noticed a re-colorized version of FCE artwork. I START COUNTING, originally painted for FCE#2 by @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social. Jacob is the artist behind our PRIMETIME PANIC and STRANGERS KISS slipcovers as well. Find all save I START COUNTING here: www.funcityeditions.com/shop

The coffee tastes so good this morning that I may watch two. We’ll see. #NowWatching DEEP IN THE HEART (AKA HANDGUN) from @funcityeditions.bsky.social #PhysicalMedia

Paul Morrissey's SPIKE OF BENSONHURST (1988) plays on 35mm one night only at Wisconsin Film Festival/UW Cinematheque, 4/11 at 8:30PM. We'll be there with a short reel of made-in-Fun City 35mm trailers preceding the feature. TIX: wifilmfest.eventive.org/films/698f8b...

Ted Kotcheff's film adaptation of Mordecai Richler's THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITZ (1974) comes to @burnsfilmcenter.bsky.social, 3/28 and the Cinema Arts Centre, 4/18. Programmed by David Schwartz. burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-... cinemaartscentre.org/long-island-...

Watched all three films in the Primetime Panic Blu-ray set from @funcityeditions.bsky.social. The title of the set hints at spooky movies and well... they're not that. But all three are still quite good regardless. www.funcityeditions.com/shop/p/prime...

🎬 "Spike of Bensonhurst" Limited Deluxe Edition 4K Blu-ray from @funcityeditions.bsky.social - out Spring! 🥊 New 4K restoration from the camera negative + isolated music track Extras: New Will Morris commentary, new interviews, alt takes & booklet 📚 Pre-Order! bit.ly/4b3DVeS #FilmSky

"Mordecai Richler’s THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITZ was very influential," says Josh Safdie about the conception of MARTY SUPREME. Our DUDDY Blu-ray is still available and on sale: www.funcityeditions.com/shop/p/duddy...

We so wish it were still in print here 😿 (we did produce considerably more than 2K copies)! We are so proud to have wrested the film from MGM/UA, produced the restoration, Jenny Agutter interview & Samm commentary, & given the film its 1st-ever documented, official physical home video release.

Corrine Burns is my spirit animal

Finley could care less that @funcityeditions.bsky.social came a callin’ yesterday. #PhysicalMedia #BluRay

There are just over 30 FABULOUS STAINS deluxe editions, WITH STICKER SETS, left in stock at FCE. After that, the limited edition deluxe 4K UHD/Blu-ray set remains in stock with box, poster, and 64-page perfect bound book. www.funcityeditions.com/shop/p/fabul...

Restored print coming to the Trylon later this spring. 14yo Laura Dern disobeyed her parents to take the role; Kathleen Hanna cites it as an inspiration for Bikini Kill and Le Tigre.

@kevinjacobsen.bsky.social @sophiacim.bsky.social Thimble Theater feature this past weekend was T.R. BASKIN (1971). It's kind of a forgotten film, but it was great. Sad, odd, character study w/a lot of open questions which is a + w/70s cinema. Not a fan of C. Bergen, but she is impressive here.

I somehow don’t know which mood I’m in right now.

Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains: teenage Diane Lane and Laura Dern rock punk This long-buried gem from 1982 about a teen-girl punk band subverts the great rock’n’roll swindle of the Sex Pistols share.google/zFWNyirqFlfD...

I decided that it was morally correct to prioritize the one I own a shirt of and oh my god I have to listen to this commentary, so Stains it is. ✨

Featuring our FABULOUS STAINS and GOODBYE, COLUMBUS discs!

The FCE restoration of HEAVENLY BODIES comes to Chicago via @oscarbate.bsky.social at the @davistheater.bsky.social on March 28, 7PM. SHOW INFO: davistheater.com/movies/heave...

Well hot damn! Thanks to @funcityeditions.bsky.social, this is a mail day for the books!! It's also kinda crazy that we're only in February and we may have just been delivered one of the best #PhysicalMedia releases of the year. #FilmSky 🎥

The @funcityeditions.bsky.social 4K of Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is one of the best pieces of physical media I've added to my collection in some time. Somebody cares about this movie as much as I do and made it reality. This set's Professional.

It was @adamnvillani.bsky.social who alerted me to how Olympic champion figure skater Alysa Liu seems to be modeling her hair on Marin Kanter from LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS - which is now in 4K from @funcityeditions.bsky.social!

My copy arrived today!

between Times Square and Fabulous Stains, there is a serious problem with the original songs from early ‘80s movies about teen girls inspiring punk rock movements not being legally streamable anywhere

this essay i wrote about THE FABULOUS STAINS is proving to be the most popular thing I have ever, ever written: www.salon.com/2026/01/27/t...

"Often compared at the time to THE GRADUATE for its portrayal of young Jewish romantic and sexual angst, [GOODBYE, COLUMBUS is] a skillful blend of comedy and drama showcasing a number of talents about to define a generation." - @mondodigital.bsky.social REVIEW: www.mondo-digital.com/columbus.html

Yesterday was a great mail day. #physicalmedia #FilmSky @funcityeditions.bsky.social @shoutstudios.bsky.social
