Back to the Blu-rays we go as Erik and Sergio talk the 50th Anniversary of Night of the Living Dead along with a number of wonderful new gems from Criterion. Sergio gets to talk about being in the minority of a film he loved in 2017 and then joins along with Erik in their love of the holiday’s surprise hit, Wonder. They get into the weeds a little talking about the first post-scandal Woody Allen film but get right out by talking about Sergio’s experience as an assistant director on Jamaa Fanaka’s Penitentiary as well as his first Blu-ray commentary track.   Criterion (Night of the Living Dead, Young Mr. Lincoln, I Daniel Blake, The Complete Monterey Pop Festival, Tom Jones) Universal (Marshall, Happy Death Day, American Made) Warner Bros.
