I recently listened to a lengthy Arkoff audio interview on the PAL DVD for Machine Gun Kelly.

Is this the DVD with Arkoff's commentary:

Yes, but I don't recommend the DVD. It wouldn't play right in my DVD player.

I'm not sure quite how to describe it; It played back with kid of a jittery image, playing for a few minutes, slowing down for a few seconds, then plays normally before doing it again. This gets annoying pretty quick and made the film unwatchable to me. I've experienced this with a few other PAL DVDs, with 95 percent of the PAL DVDs I bought playing perfectly in my Phillips player.

I held onto my VHS copy because of my disappointment with the DVD playback. If you can get the DVD cheaply, the Arkoff audio interview is pretty good. However, I think that Amazon price is a rip-off.

It appears there is a newer PAL DVD of Machine Gun Kelley on eBay. I can't speak to the quality or if the Arkoff material in on it.
