DVD Geeks – August 15, 2012




DVD Geeks Podcast show

Summary: We may be barely hanging on after a whirlwind of geeking out at the 2012 Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, but we've pulled it together long enough to let you know about some choice DVDs for the week. Our attention is immediately drawn to anything with Stanley Kubrick's name on it, and this Blu-ray release of "Full Metal Jacket" is special for its newly-released bonus feature: the documentary "Stanley Kubrick's Boxes." In it, we are given a glimpse into Kubrick's private archives as well as his attention to detail and the psychological process of his approach to filmmaking. We'll also spend some time with the new Blu-ray release of the sci-fi classic "Total Recall" in a newly-restored edition just in time for the remake in theatres this month. There are new and old special features, and we spend the time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Also, we've got a look at an '80s cartoon classic with "My Little Pony" and a cadre of Honorable Mentions including "Jaws," "Titanic at 100," and much more!
