The holidays are upon us and it’s time to get those wallets out. If you’re a TV/movie hound like us, it’s the perfect time of year to grab some hotly anticipated entertainment goods, such as physical media! Whether it’s to bolster the roster of your previously existing collection or serve as a stocking stuffer for a loved one, DVDs, box sets, and Blu-Rays still have a place in the digital era. The latter is especially true when they’re in 4K, and you consider all the streaming services dropping like flies these days.
Our offerings below include some of 2022’s best, such as Top Gun: Maverick, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, and Pearl. There are also some hotly anticipated 4K releases, such as Reservoir Dogs and Scream 2.
Look out, too, for the box set for Yu Yu Hakusho and the Criterion Collection for Malcolm X. And we can’t forget the inclusion of classics such as Frasier, Dragon Ball Z, Game of Thrones, and Batman: The Animated Series.
Check out the selection below.
