[What A Disgrace]

Rare day 1 Shout! purchase of Matinee for me.

[therewillbeblus]

Wow, the Dante upgrade is huge, hopefully Arrow follows suit

[Finch]

Yeah especially since a lot of the Shout discs are still arriving scratched. I've got Darkman on order with two other titles from Orbit and am fully anticipating to have to ask Orbit for a replacement copy. They and Amazon are the only retailers I am willing to order Shout discs from since reading on BR that Shout's customer service gives two flying fucks.

EDIT: 4/21/24: Orbit checked my Darkman 4K and BD for me and it was not scratched.

[therewillbeblus]

Recently ran into that with Disney - Aliens came scratched and playback was affected during three moments. No dice on a replacement despite proof of purchase, just the same message of 'sorry not sorry' all the way up the chain(/plateau). Not that it's surprising

[Maltic]

Wow, the Dante upgrade is huge, hopefully Arrow follows suit

Why, do they have the UK rights?

[dwk]

yes, Arrow released Matinee (and The 'Burbs) in the UK.

There's a martial arts sale on Shout's website. Shaw Bros. Classics Vol. 1-3 are each between $100 and $110

[dwk]

Some Paramount tiles were added to Shout's Going OOP list:
Graveyard Shift
Orca
The Tenant
Danger: Diabolik

[TechnicolorAcid]

Timmy Williams just announced that The Whitest Kids You Know is getting a Blu-Ray from Shout.

[TVC15]

Two new site exclusives:

Death and the Maiden
The Getaway (1994)

[dwk]

Shout really thinks a barebones release of Affliction is going to sell more copies than The Getaway remake? (Make no mistake, I am happy that they did a wide, non-limited edition of Affliction, but this is just another bizarre choice by the brainiacs at Shout.)

[therewillbeblus]

Assuming many of these old interviews are the ones from Arrow's blu, it looks like the only big extra missing from Shout!'s release is the full version of Mant. A strange exclusion, since there can't be any rights issues around it.. right?

Storytelling too

[nicolas]

House of Gucci brings us one step closer to Licorice Pizza and hopefully Bones and All in 4K. The Boy and the Heron 4K is another very welcome announcement.

[dwk]

Who's That Girl and Red Sonja Blu-rays are also coming (but Red Sonja looks to be an early leak with out a release date.)
