Sergio Mims returns with another look at the latest and greatest in Blu-rays. Along with Erik Childress they catch up on Arrow’s release of Kevin Smith’s Mallrats and Sergio’s lingering love for sword-and-sandal films with Film Detective’s Hercules and the Captive Women. They look at a pair of overseas releases of Paramount thrillers Black Sunday and Breakdown and express their great love for the studio’s long-overdue release of Michael Ritchie’s The Bad News Bears. They still have enough time to talk up a number of Warner Archive titles including musicals Annie Get Your Gun and Broadway Melody of 1940, a trio of Tarzan titles and are then overjoyed to get one of their recent not-on-Blu-Ray titles released, the Bill Murray bank robbery comedy, Quick Change. 0:00 - Intro 3:33 - Arrow (Mallrats) 12:55 – Criterion (The Furies) 17:01 - Film Detective (Hercules and the Captive Women) 25:30 – Imprint (Black Sunday, Breakdown) 45:24 – Paramount (The Bad News Bears) 1:02:57 – Warner Archive (Broadway Melody of 1940, Doctor X, Annie Get Your Gun, Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure, Tarzan Goes to India, Tarzan’s Three Challenges, Quick Change) 1:46:07 – Outro
