The latest and greatest in Blu-rays returns to the podcast with Sergio Mims and a lot to catch up on. There is late era Sam Peckinpah and Steve McQueen not to mention some early-era Kevin Costner and perhaps inspiration for a young Alfonso Cuaron. Criterion 4Ks one of the greatest of all noirs and space documentaries. Kino gives the same treatment to Clint Eastwood and Sidney Poitier. And finally – yes, FINALLY! – one of the great Walter Hill films Sergio and Erik have been begging to get an upgrade from its shoddy DVD transfer is finally here and they are thrilled.
