[ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

No digital copy code voucher is included inside the standard one-disc blue Blu-ray case.

[ NOTES ]

When We Went MAD! (2025) is available on Blu-ray (MOD Recorded BD-R) and DVD (MOD Recorded DVD-R). (I'm assuming that the DVD is a recorded disc since the Blu-ray definitely is.) An excellent documentary features interviews with the usual gang of idiots, as well as Weird Al Yankovic, Howie Mandel, Quentin Tarantino, and Bryan Cranston, with narration by Patrick Warburton. If you've ever read MAD magazine, you own it to yourself to watch this film.

As an FYI: The release I'm reviewing is a Manufacture On Demand Recorded Blu-ray, not a factory-pressed disc. If online artwork and the case spine says "Blu-ray Disc" in plain text, it's a BD-R recorded disc. If it has a Blu-ray logo, it's a factory-pressed disc. If you have the disc in hand, a purple bottom is a recorded disc, and a silver bottom is a pressed disc. It is said that factory-pressed discs last longer than recorded discs, aside from those made by Warner Brothers in the late 2000s. I don't know if that's true, but if it matters to you, I'm letting you know.
