Now then... we’ve also updated our 4K Ultra HD Release List here at the site with new titles, and our Release Dates and Artwork section with all the latest Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD cover artwork and Amazon.com pre-order links. Don’t forget that whenever you order anything from Amazon after clicking to them through one of our links (like this one) you’re helping to support our work here at the site and we appreciate it!

Now then, the big release news today is that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has just officially announced a 4K title we first told you has been in the works since 2021.

We have more new disc reviews coming this afternoon and tomorrow as well, so be sure to keep watching for them.

We’re also going to be trying out a new approach to sharing these news updates here on the site. Rather than simply posting one long update a day, I’m going to try posting two shorter updates, one late morning (US Pacific time) and one later in the afternoon. The idea is that shorter updates are a little easier to manage, so I’ll be able to get breaking news up a little more quickly here. So be sure to check back later today for a second news post.

Now then... first up in announcement news today, Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has officially set Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) for release on Blu-ray, DVD, 4K Ultra HD, and 4K UHD Steelbook on 12/17, with the Digital release due on 10/29. You can see the cover artwork at left and also below. [Read on here...]
