Named after the ironic nickname for late-1960s New York, this label was launched in 2020 by Jonathan Hertzberg, formerly of IFC Films and Kino Lorber, with Alphabet City. It reissues overlooked films from the 1960s to the 1980s, often from new scans, plus TV-movie sets such as Primetime Panic. Early discs were sold as a Vinegar Syndrome partner label; later ones go through MVD, with UK editions via Radiance.

Video Notes:

Though note its different color grading from the IP-sourced but poorly compressed Fun City Editions US Blu-ray (caps)

Best Audio:

Judging from spectrograms at https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=23933756&postcount=57, Fun City Editions US Blu-ray appears to have marginally less filtering than Radiance 4K Blu-ray (whose padded 16-bit depth is a non-issue). There are also loudness differences, though it's unclear whether dynamic range also differs. Caveat: need to A/B both tracks to confirm, but no one has posted actual A/B impressions.
