Blu-ray Disc

And my guest for that episode was Bill Ackerman from Supporting Characters Podcast.

though he has also done many other Blu-ray special features contributions.

And he was kind enough to join me again today to discuss one of the most underrated BABA films, The Incredible Lisa and the Devil.

So because I would like to do more BABA episodes and more episodes in general, I'm trying to have more episodes like this where we focus on a single film and just do a really deep dive.

yeah i don't understand why so i think the killer is on the phone i feel like i should at some point do an episode on like maybe jalo deep cuts because at this point i think most people into the genre have seen a lot of the more obvious ones but the killer is on the phone is one that has gotten such little attention i don't even know if it's been released do you

It's streaming on one of the major platforms right now, but I'm trying to think if it's ever had...

I don't know if it's had a Blu-ray release yet.

I mean, I feel like...

We have...

If you're new to Soulmate Line, this is basically, how should you enjoy this movie long-term? We have buy it on Blu-ray.

So thank you to everyone who submitted a question ahead of time.

And so like, and now you can see these movies and you can see the artistry in them.

Like all these like little, I made this in two weeks and then we released it two months later.

And there's like these beautiful films and that's the thing that Blu-ray and DVD has done for them.

Yeah, wow.

Sony are continuing their war against physical media.

Sony is officially winding down shipments of standalone 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players, such as the UBP model X700K, with no replacement models planned.

The move further signals Sony's broader corporate retreat from physical media, aligning with their ongoing shifts in console hardware and digital

distributions.

guys.

Fuck those guys.

Neither of them are selling Sony Blu-ray players.

Period.

Absolutely.

They've got Blu-ray ones.

But are they – they're an Australian company.

Aussie company, yeah.

That's

from Thomas.

I've got a region free Blu-ray player too.

Yes, I've got one.

We're going to, I certainly, we could find out.

So sales of Tangled in the US and Canada exceeded $95 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales.

Mm-hmm.

It sold the equivalent of $44.5 million in North America in its first week.

Wow.

So it made more money from the first week of DVD, Blu-ray sales than it did being at the cinema.

Right.

And I've only seen it so much because she likes it and she puts it on.

We bought the 3D Blu-ray when it came out, which came with red glasses.

And it came with red glasses that you could watch at home.

Yeah.

Jeepers! You know, it's a creepy mystery that I'm still playing the Spirebender after 20 years! Anyway, so...

And may I just say I'm so happy that Mystery Incorporated is finally coming out on Blu-ray.

Mystery Incorporated, my favorite iteration of Scooby to date.

So funny.
