Lack of Shout! Factory releases on Netflix?
Has anyone else noticed a lack of recent shout factory releases on netflix? I noticed it a few months ago and thought it was an isolated instance with "Max Headroom" and "Dark Skies" - but I just did a search for "Hey Dude" and couldn't find anything.
Does anyone happen to know why netflix seems to have stopped carring Shout titles?

if you are talking physical DVD's, netflix stopped carrying most indie label titles on physical DVD's.

I noticed the same thing with Damnation Alley. So now do they just carry major studios, perhaps tied to a streaming deal?

I noticed a delay on catalogue titles from big studios. An affair to remember just showed up on BD last tuesday for example. Don't know if its related to the new release delay.

Yes, I was talking about the physical DVDs. It seems weird to me that Netflix would stop providing catelog titles for smaller companies, but then again a lot of what they've been doing in the last year has left me scratching my head. Does anyone know if Blockbuster.com still carries smaller studio titles? I might sign up for a few months to watch some shout titles.
