Warner Archive's March Blu-ray releases span nine decades of entertainment history, from a 1934 Joan Crawford classic to 1970s action films and beloved Hanna-Barbera animation. Tim Millard and George Feltenstein discuss the restoration process and cultural significance of these diverse titles.

• Sadie McKee (1934) showcases Joan Crawford's evolution as an actress in a restored version that looks spectacular despite being over 90 years old
• Monogram Matinee Volume 1 features three entertaining B-movies from 1949 that have been virtually impossible to see for decades
• Earth 2 (1971) receives a gorgeous 4K scan that reveals additional footage from its limited international theatrical release
• Hitman (1972) stars Bernie Casey and a young Pamela Grier in an urban action film that captures the authentic look and feel of early 70s cinema
• The Magilla Gorilla Show required an "archaeological expedition" to reassemble complete episodes as they originally aired in 1964, including reinstating the famous theme song
