There’s a lot to talk about this week in the world of physical media. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk about a Stanley Kubrick epic finally getting the release it deserves. Oliver Stone revisits a final cut for his own epic and there is also some epic destruction from the ‘70s. Denzel Washington looks for a serial killer, though not the one traipsing through the woods like he was Terrence Malick. They’ve got film noir with Glenn Ford, horror meeting blaxploitation and Peter offering his thoughts on Ryan Coogler’s huge 2025 success. Finally the pair discuss Mike Nichols’ now quaint adaptation of politics leading up to the Clinton years and Amy Heckerling’s teen film from the ‘90s still entertaining generations decades later. 2:30 - Criterion (The Big Heat (4K) , Barry Lyndon (4K) ) 21:23 – Shout Factory ( Primary Colors (4K) , Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut (4K) , Abigail (4K) ) 50:08 - Kino ( Sugar Hill ) 55:37 - RJLE ( In a Violent Nature (4K) ) 1:04:59 - WB ( The Little Things (4K) ) 1:12:44 - Universal ( Earthquake (4K) ) 1:31:32 - Paramount ( Clueless (4K) ) 1:44:51 - New Theatrical & TV Titles On Blu-ray ( Warfare (4K) , Death of a Unicorn , The Amateur (4K) , The Legend of Ochi , , Shadow Force , The Rule of Jenny Pen , Hell of a Summer , Until Dawn (4K) , Sinners (4K) , Fallout: Season One (4K) , Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997) , See (The Complete Series) ) 1:53:30 – New Blu-ray Announcements Check eligibility CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST Be sure to check out Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

Marvel is hoping for both a critical and financial reboot with their latest summer opener and Erik Childress is joined once again by comic book expert, Erik Laws, to discuss. Laws delves into the history of the Thunderbolts and various incarnations in the comics. They talk about what they enjoyed about the film as well as elements that fell flat. A lot of credit goes to a pair of key performances in the film as Marvel banks on audiences responding to themes of alienation and depression in place of just the usual comic book action. Is that enough to make the film a cut above the post-Endgame era? This is a public episode.
