If You’re Not First, You’re Sick. Yeah I Said It! (Episode 674)

The beginning of each month always seems to be slow for physical media but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have some choice titles for you, especially if you ever wanted to see James Cagney and Mickey Rooney do Shakespeare. A couple hit comedies from Universal get a 4K upgrade as does one of Christopher Nolan’s favorite movies. You can also see the Todd Haynes film that helped put Julianne Moore on the map and one of the great films about defending the First Amendment, as timely today as it was 30 years ago about a time a couple decades before then.
