When I "upgrade" to a later DVD or Blu-ray release, I'll usually check to make sure that everything from the old disc is on the new DVD/Blu-ray. Most of the time it is, but what usually falls victim to the "porting over" process are still image extras. This is especially true if the old DVD was released in the late 1990s/early 2000s, when studios would include Production Notes and Cast & Crew Biographies/Filmographies as extras. This text is, almost always, sourced from the movie's original press kit materials, and I feel it's worth preserving. So, before I get rid of that old disc, I'll screencap all of the stills.

Today, I will be looking at the still gallery from the Mad Max "Collector's Edition" Blu-ray released by Shout Factory on May 5, 2015. Although this disc only came out a mere five years ago, the new 4K + Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases by Kino Lorber (set for release on November 24, 2020) don't include this image gallery (based on what the specs say), but include everything else and a few new things. So, let's look at my preservation efforts for the 101-image gallery from Shout's Blu-ray...

No, this is not a repeat review. Yes, I've already reviewed several of Neca's themed blind bags, including the Pop Culture Blind Bag. I bought two more of the Pop Culture Blind Bags from my local Target, and what I found inside them made me simultaneously happy and FURIOUS...

There are many websites devoted to DVD Easter Eggs, though they don't seem to have been updated in quite some time. By the time the Blu-ray format came out in the mid-2000s, the studios mostly gave up on Easter Eggs, so there aren't many on Blu-ray, but there are some. Generally, these aren't listed on the Easter Egg sites, so I thought I would list the Blu-ray Easter Eggs that I find on the discs that I own. Today, I'll show you the eggs on Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 1.

Like most fast food restaurants, Burger King offers coupons in various publications every few months. I tend to get them free with the weekly manufacturer's coupons and store circulars. Well, for the past year now, I've noticed something very sneaky that Burger King has been doing, and I think that it's about time I made everyone aware of it. Read on to find out more about it...

Botchamania is a popular video series created by Maffew Gregg (his name being a botch on "Matthew") that highlights humorous, embarrassing, and sometimes painful botches in professional wrestling. Each installment compiles clips of in-ring wrestling botches, promo bloopers, commentary slip-ups, and more from a wide variety of pro wrestling organizations. Most of the in-ring clips are muted and played with a music soundtrack, usually music from classic video games or by rock bands covering classic video game songs. In the latest episode, Botchamania #421, an NXT commentary botch I spotted was used. This was the first time I became a part of Botchamania, and I couldn't be prouder! That is something to be proud of, right?!? Read on to find out more about it...

Valley Girl (2020) is a film that just can't catch a break. MGM first announced a musical remake in February 2012, but it was halted until November 2016. Casting announcements continued until May 2017 and principal photography began that same month. Following the completion of filming, MGM scheduled the film for release on June 29, 2018. However, the film was delayed following controversies surrounding actor Logan Paul, who portrays Mickey. The film was then going to get a wide theatrical release in 2020, but the pandemic put the kibosh on that, forcing the studio to give it a direct-to-digital release on May 8, 2020 instead (aside from a few simultaneous drive-in screenings). Well, after all of the controversy and bad luck surrounding this film, is it any good? Read on to find out...
