Episode 386: The First & Only Hunter and The Last Starfighter
Some genuine classics on physical media this week getting the 4K treatment. And others that are not. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to get you caught up on your libraries including Memorial Day releases from 1991 and 1993. One of the great singular directorial efforts of all-time arrives in 4K as does one of the classics from a comic legend. One of the best from Wes Craven gets the polish and there are also plenty of other titles from Alan Rudolph, Sidney Lumet, Peter Greenaway and Looney Tunes to keep you busy while Erik is relishing one of his favorite films from the summer of 1984 and you can listen to his full commentary track right here.
