Fresh off the mail truck, its another AGFA trailer show set. This time focussing more broadly on genre cinema trailers and oddities from the intermission dust bin. The team over at AGFA have put their distinctive trippy slant onto what would otherwise largely be skipped over, and I think they’ve largely done a solid job.

Its a little overlong at an hour and sixteen minutes for this kind of thing, but theres a LOT of VERY enjoyable snags in here, stuff i’d never seen or heard of and movies I now REALLY need to try and track down. I think I liked this one more than their previous ‘Horror’ oriented trailer show, and the short films included on the set were equally enjoyable to boot.

I still think their high water mark with this kind of styled presentation is their ‘Its Intermission time!’ supercut and the ‘AGFA Christmas tape’ release they did exclusively through Vimeo (I pray to this day that the latter of that gets a physical release at some point as its a TOTAL vibe and equally highly recommended)

But this? this was fun, its a good time killer, has a firm tongue in cheek sense of humour about itself. I liked it. Worth seeking out if you can find it.
