About this episode

The episode discusses the latest Blu-ray releases and the impact of Sony's decision to stop producing physical discs for its consoles.

Despite the news that Sony is no longer producing physical discs for its Playstation consoles, Blu-rays are not going anywhere. That despite this being one of the smallest tallies of titles that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have ever covered. (Cause we don’t like to repeat ourselves.) That being said you have David Lynch’s Oscar-nominated biopic and Tim Burton adapting a wacky soap opera. Besides the Criterion sale is on at Barnes & Noble so it’s a good week for your budget. 2:44 - Criterion (The Elephant Man (4K) ) 22:37 - Shout ( Dark Shadows (4K Steelbook) ) 35:02 – New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (The Drama (4K) , All You Need Is Kill , Dead Man’s Wire , Fuze , Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror ) 45:29 - New Blu-ray Announcements CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik’s Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics’ Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.
