Disney is not going to continue with physical media in Australia after the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. It was confirmed by the Digital Bits. https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/072523-1400 Why couldn’t Disney license their titles for physical media in Australia and...

It’s being reported that the first four Superman films are coming to 4k in April, both in a collection and individual steelbooks. The first film appears to be a new master than the previous 4k. There are five films, including the Donner Cut of II. No word on a US retailer yet.

This is the first of the "Marvel Special" presentations, and it drops today. From all reports, it doesn't disappoint, being both an homage to classic B&W horror films and genuinely scary on its own. It's also said to be quite funny. Variety's review seems to reflect many of the others I've...

Variety confirms what has been suspected for a while: A new Daredevil series is in the works for Disney+. This one will be written by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, and will star Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio. THR calls it “a new but continued series.”...

Haven't seen a thread for the new Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon. It premieres August 21 on HBO MAX. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/game-of-thrones-house-of-the-dragon-premiere-date-1235215983/ BTW, the 8/21 release date means the show will be on at the same time as...

Has anyone seen the debut of this James Gunn series? I thought the first episode was a lot of fun, with good intros to the characters. John Cena has a way with comedy that works really well. The writing on the show is top notch. Will gladly check out the remaining episodes. FWIW I enjoyed...

Has anyone watched this show? It just completed its second season, and the word is that it will move to HBO MAX for its third. I've only seen the first season, on blu-ray; I confess I have never heard of Epix. The last thing I thought I needed was another show from a DC property, let alone one...

A deleted tweet from Picard's new showrunner, Terry Matalas, said that the second season has started filming. Earlier this month, Jeri Ryan said that filming was imminent. (The feeling is that the tweet was deleted so a formal announcement can be made next week at the Paramount+ presentation.)...

No word on whether it’s a movie, Disney+ show, or what, but it sounds official. Would love to see Steve Rogers returning the stones and going to live with Peggy Carter in the past...

It is official. From Star Wars .com: The Book of Boba Fett, a new Original Series, starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen and executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez, set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, is coming to...

So, I've had a blu-ray burner for a while now, and have successfully made a few discs but lately the software I use (Toast Titanium 16) hasn't been working and I've contacted them, only to find they no longer service this version. I'd have to buy a new version. Anyway, as an experiment, I tried...

Can't believe no one has been talking about this. It was a bit of a daring move, making a follow-up to one of the most reviled specials of all time, but they did, and it was fun. It's not going to win any awards or inspire endless debate, but it's a way to have fun in the Star Wars universe for...

Been having an issue hooking up an HDMI switch device to a Samsung 4k TV. The problem is the TV only has 3 HDMI inputs and I need four. I tried an old switch device I had and it didn't work, so I chalked that up to old equipment and bought a new, 4k-compatible HDMI switch device. Still doesn't...

The final season begins May 27. Here's the new poster - which I love for the way it evokes the old Drew Struzan posters from the 80s.

Veteran TV writer (and former lawyer) Peter Allan Fields passed away earlier this week. He had a long career writing for TV, starting with The Man From UNCLE, and going through Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. He wrote, among many others, TNG's much-loved The Inner Light...

DC's streaming service's latest show premiered today. Swamp Thing - which has already been a movie and a TV show - has an X-Files vibe to me, with plenty of creepy mystery. This appears to be the first DC show in a long time without involvement from Greg Berlanti's production group. This was...

Agents of SHIELD doesn't return until this summer, but ABC has posted a trailer for the new season. Obviously, we see that Clark Gregg is still around, despite the trailer telling us his character died after season 5. I wonder how they'll pull this off, but I hope it is not a new character...

Does Amazon not provide release-date delivery anymore? I just ordered First Man, which is being released 1/22, and it shows delivery of 1/30. I have Prime, chose "free 2-day shipping" at check out, etc. Is this yet another inconvenience to get us to stop buying physical media? I've grown to...

DC Universe's second new series, Doom Patrol, is set to debut Feb. 15 on the DC streaming service. (Will this be available on Netflix in countries other than the US, like Titans?) In any case, Timothy Dalton is starring as the Chief. But most of the Doom Patrol premiered on the fourth episode...
