Home Market Releases for November 26th, 2019

November 27, 2019

MST3K

It is an even worse week on the home market than it was last week. There are two Pick of the Week contenders, MST3K: The Gauntlet and RoboCop: Limited Edition Collector’s Set. The latter has far more extras, but it has also been released on the home market far too many times. It’s not even the first time it has come out on Blu-ray. It was still a very close competitoion, but in the end, MST3K won the title of Pick of the Week.

Angel Has Fallen - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: DVD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, or 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack
I’m not in the target audience of the ... has Fallen franchise, neither are most critics, but it has enough fans to last three installments. Extras include an audio commentary and six featurettes, so if you are a fan of these movies, then this Blu-ray is worth picking up.

The Chaperone - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: DVD
This is just a lot of missed opportunities. It has a great cast and an interesting premise, but that just makes the mediocre end result that much more disappointing.

Conception: The Complete Series - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: Blu-ray Combo Pack
This Blu-ray isn’t selling well enough to be featured on the main list, but I had to anyway as a warning. This might be the worst harem Anime of all time. It is certainly one of the worst Anime titles to come out in the past few years. The only reason to watch this show is out of morbid curiosity.


MST3K

MST3K: Season 12: The Gauntlet - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray
It was announced that this season will be the last new season of the show... to be made for Netflix. They are still trying to make more seasons, but the future of the show will be elsewhere. Will fans of the show want to snap up this season? Read our review for my opinion.


Official Secrets - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: DVD
Video on Demand
I don’t think it is unfair to call this film busted Oscar-bait. It has an amazing cast and it is based on real-life events, which is something Oscar voters love. However, while most critics liked the movie, few truly loved it, so it is not award-worthy. That said, it is worth picking up.


Robocop

Robocop: 2-Disc Limited Edition Collector's Set - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: Blu-ray
One of the best Sci-fi Action films of the 1980s, it also had some of the sharpest social satire of the decade as well. Even if the film had only half as much in the way of extras, it would still be a Pick of the Week contender. On the downside, the Blu-ray isn’t just a double-dip, but a triple or maybe even quadruple-dip at this point. It is absolutely worth the upgrade, but fans of the film might be gathering a rather large collection of this film.

Space Adventure Cobra The Movie - Reviews - Buy from Amazon: 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack
The only secondary 4K release of the week is a nearly 40-year old Anime movie. The film is selling better than expected and I can see why a lot of people would be interested in seeing it, even if it is just a curiosity.
