It’s officially summer, but you don’t have pack up your car and drag yourself to the beach to catch a wave. Thanks to Magnolia Home Entertainment, you can do that in the comfort of your own living room. We’ll be reviewing The Wave, a Norwegian drama about a scenic town threatened by a tsunami. And if it’s some toned bodies in two-pieces you’re craving, then come on down to the All American Bikini Car Wash! (Heads up…you already have a chance to win a free DVD of this film by clicking here.) Broad Green Pictures shuffles the deck and comes up with the Knight of Cups. And Comedy Central implores us all not to be Workaholics: Season 6…make sure to have some fun in the sun these next few months.

A certain beloved sci-fi franchise is about to boldly go where no Star Trek title has gone before: the world of 4K Ultra HD! 2009’s Star Trek and 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness make their 4K debuts this week, courtesy of Paramount. The studio also unleashes Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Director’s Cut. In non-Starfleet news, Paramount bunkers down and visits 10 Cloverfield Lane, while Lionsgate takes a bite out of Shark Week: Jawsome Encounters.

Shout! Factory lays its peepers on Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2. (You can already check out our take on Maude: Season 5, which Shout! was also kind enough to send along.)

Finally, HBO follows the wild, off-field lives of a group of Ballers: Season 1.

If there’s something strange…in your neighborhood…who you gonna call?! If you don’t know the answer to that question, you are most definitely *not* a god. You’ve also been living under a rock for more than 30 years, which is how long Ghostbusters has been a bona fide comedy classic. Both the original movie and its sequel that I absolutely enjoy a lot more than I probably should arrive in 4K this week, courtesy of Sony. And those are just two offerings in what is shaping up to be a very busy week, so be sure to check our site early and often.

You can already read our reviews for Paramount’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and HBO’s Steelbook redux of Game of Thrones: Seasons 3 and 4. Shout! Factory blasts off with a Journey to Space (3D & 4K) and has a bloody good time with The Funhouse Massacre, while Magnolia Home Entertainment enlists in A War, and RLJ Entertainment visits Monsterland.

I don’t know what we did, but it must have been serious. We UpcomingDiscers are generally a law-abiding bunch, so I’m a little surprised that we’ve apparently landed in such hot water. How else to explain this week’s arrival of the Major Crimes division at our door? Naturally, I’m yanking your chain…none of us here would hurt a fly. The good news is Warner Bros. was still nice enough to send us Major Crimes: Season 4, and we’ll have a review of TNT’s hit cop drama soon. Disney makes a daring rescue with The Finest Hours, while Sony hikes the Appalachian Mountains for Outsiders: Season 1. Finally, have we got a scoop for you…Lou Grant: Season 1 arrives courtesy of Shout! Factory.

Things are about to get spooky in this week’s Round Up. Lionsgate immerses us in the world of The Witch, the spellbinding indie sensation from earlier this year. On the other hand, the studio also gets into raunchy adventures with Dirty Grandpa. Shout! Factory takes the good and takes the bad with The Facts of Life: The Final Season and bursts into song with Cop Rock: The Complete Series. Finally, things line up just right for the arrival of Magnolia Home Entertainment’s time travel drama Synchronicity.

The Fourth of July is still more than a month away, but we don’t feel like waiting that long for the fireworks to start. Thanks to the fine folks at Fox, we’ll be reviewing an out-of-this-world 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition of Independence Day. CBS loads up with Have Gun, Will Travel: The Complete Series, lays the law with The Untouchables: The Complete Series, and goes on the hunt with Beauty and the Beast: Season 3. Meanwhile, Paramount laughs it up with The Jim Gaffigan Show: Season 1, and Shout! Factory checks into Newhart: Season 5. Finally, Lionsgate goes searching for Manson’s Lost Girls.

Decisions, decisions. Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it? Star Trek or Star Wars? The Beatles or The Stones? Cake or Death? Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks has made a pretty lucrative career out of romantic push and pulls. Thanks to Lionsgate, the latest big-screen adaptation of Sparks’ work — The Choice — arrives this week. (I’ll be sure to have an extra hankie handy when I review it…just in case.) Liongate was also kind enough to Remember Christopher Plummer’s latest drama. Finally, the studio also scopes out Sniper: Special Ops.

Who’s the baddest pimp in town? (Other than yours truly, of course.) Well if you’re a fan of blaxploitation cinema, you probably know the answer to that question is Dolemite!

Meanwhile, Lionsgate retraces its steps with Backtrack, and Comedy Central bids a warm farewell to Hot in Cleveland: Season 6.
