More discs are on the way this week as well, so be sure to watch for them.
It’s a slow morning for release news, but we do have a couple things for you.
First, Paramount has set ZAZ: The Collection! for release on 4K Ultra HD on 11/19. That’s Zucker, Abrahams & Zucker to you! The collection will include Airplane! (1980), Top Secret! (1984), and The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988). The first two are new to the format.
…
Here’s something exciting: Decal and Neon are going to be releasing Pablo Berger’s animated Robot Dreams (2023) on Blu-ray on 10/8! I haven’t seen this yet, but a few friends have and they have great things to say about it.
…
And in other news, Synapse Films will release Mike Mendez’s The Convent (2000) in 4K on 10/8.
A24 and Lionsgate will release Ty West’s MaXXXine on Blu-ray and 4K UHD on 10/8.
And Well Go USA will release Jang Jae-hyun’s Exhuma (2024) on 4K and Blu-ray on 10/8 as well.
Having rewatched Airplane! recently, I firmly believe that it is an auteur piece of filmmaking, a true lightning-in-a-bottle artistic vision that could not sustain itself after this without turning formulaic and losing freshness. You cannot go any higher than this, only sideways.
