Their website layout is horrible.

Yeah, their categories are bizarre, I've never bought anything there from browsing, it's always been because I was looking for something specific.

Is Gravity Falls pretty good? Barely heard of this animated series but seems kinda eccentrically funny from reading reviews.

Yes, absolutely. Kinda like a Twin Peaks for the younger crowd. Lots of monster of the week episodes, but with a long running story arc in the background. Grunkle Stan is one of the best misanthrope characters of the last couple decades.


Have you watched The Owl House on Disney ? The person running that show is the partner of the Gravity Falls showrunner and it shares some similarities (and voice actors).

Oh yeah, nice. Gonna order!

Shout Factory has a pretty terrific sale on box sets going on from now through April 21st.

Friday the 13th is a particular standout at $79.99 for their colossal collection. And if you're into Kamen Rider, Kuuga and Zero One are $29.99, which is lower than I believe I've ever seen 'em. (And also on the toku front, they're DVDs, but a bunch of Super Sentai collections are $23.99-$29.99 right now.)

That is a good sale. I highly recommend the Decline of Western Civilization box on blu-ray, 29.99 is a great price for that one.

I really enjoyed those Universal Horror Blu-ray sets and $34.99 is a much more reasonable price. Some very good commentaries on many of them.

I held off for so long but finally got a couple of the Universal Horror sets. Hopefully my will power will let me just have the couple with movies I'm specifically interested in lol

SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN set !

At least there seems to be no tax. Shipping is $7 unless you order $50.

I already own way too many of the sets listed in the sale, lol. About the only thing I could still pick up is the Billy Jack collection, but I've never even seen anything but the first movie.

Damn. Decisions decisions. There's a boxset on sale for $49 that's usually $70. It's a "best of..." collection but I can't find a listing of which episodes are included and I'm looking for one specific episode. The separate season I'm looking for isn't available. Do I spend $49 on the possibility it's included?

Are you talking about Loretta Young? If so, the DVDTalk review has the episode lists: https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/5916...mplete-series/

I did a Google search but it didn't pop up. Thank you, you saved me $50 because the episode wasn't listed. I never would think this site would've reviewed such a old obscure show. Maybe one of these days they'll release all seasons but I would doubt it in the current situation of declining sales. I Googled the specific episode and it same up being on Plex but when I clicked it said "We could not find anywhere to view this title currently"

I actually just want to watch it once. I, supposedly appeared on it when I was an infant in my mom's attempt to get me into tv. I had a portfolio and one of the few surviving photos had that written on the back for whomever to see I had experience.

I picked up the Star Trek Captains collection with extra disk and The Glass Key, a movie not in the sale. I picked The Captains up when I saw the prices of the regular set at other stores..

Really would love Shout! stuff to come with digital copies

I don't think that's possible. Shout is a boutique label that licenses studio content for their line of physical media. The digital codes are an entirely separate thing and probably only licensed through the studio. I mean you can get Bill and Ted on Vudu.

The 1986 Transformers cartoon did have a digital movie file code. But, it was not supported by MA or Vudu. It was a downloadable digital file. I tried to sell it off here, but no one wanted it because it wasn't compatible with any service.

Yeah, I'm sure that digital codes are a whole separate licensing issue when it comes to boutique labels like Criterion, Arrow, and Shout/Scream. To include a digital code, they'd probably have to buy them separately from the rights to produce a disc, and that would add an extra ten or twenty dollars to the retail price.

I'm sure it is a licensing thing, it's just annoying that I bought all these John Carpenter Blu-rays, but now I can't watch them because my TV has kind of crapped out.

I want the Halloween 4K Collection to complete my set, but I just know that they will have it for 50 bucks or less this October if I pull the trigger now.

Really wish they did a Steelbook for all their 4K releases. Since I have scaled back my purchases and just buy very few 4K discs, the ones I do get are almost always in a Steelbook. Not a dealbreaker but they look nice.
