I can’t think of a more fitting way to kick off the first Tuesday Round Up of October than with the monster mayhem of Paramount’s Penny Dreadful: Season 2. And speaking of mayhem, the Showtime series is part of a whopping 26(!) titles making their debut today that we’ll be reviewing on this site very soon. Ok, fine…Disney’s Avengers: Age of Ultron technically premiered last Friday, but I felt it was a good idea to mention one of the biggest movies of the year. Warner Bros. shows us where Batkid Begins, offers the royal treatment with Reign: Season 2, and serves up The Leftovers: Season 1. In addition to Penny Dreadful, Paramount is feeling Happyish: Season 1, goes down to South Park: Season 18, digs into the life of Tut, and studies the Greatest Heroes of the Bible. Meanwhile, Cinedigm serves up laughs with Bossip Comedy Series: Part 2, visits Paranormal Island, goes head over heels for The Falling, and keeps 4Got10 in mind. (Be on the look out for an interview or two with the cast and crew of 4Got10.)

We’ll also be chatting with Noel Clarke of The Anomaly courtesy of Anchor Bay, which also drops Earthfall. And since you can already win a copy of June from Image Entertainment (which will also release The Invoking 2), why not keep your eyes peeled for our review? Lionsgate takes aim at The Target, gets heated with Ardor, and dines out with Eaters. A&E Home Video quacks up with Duck Dynasty: Season 8 and is out for Blood & Glory: The Civil War in Color. Hallmark gets into the holiday spirit early with Christmas at the Cartwrights and the Best Christmas Party Ever. Finally, MPI Home Video keys in on Manglehorn and Nasser closes things out with Final Girl.

With so many titles out this week — and such variety — there’s gotta be something here that caught your eye. Once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title to a lucky winner who comments in our weekly Round-Up posts. All you have to do is comment in a Round-Up post — like this one! — and tell us which of these titles you’re most excited to watch or read about. The winners and their prizes will be announced the first week of every month right here in our Tuesday Round-Up post. You can’t win if you don’t comment.

One last reminder before signing off for the week: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED: Congrats to Jim Gardner, who won the 8(!)-disc Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Stingers and Zingers set. 

This week brings with it a lighter load than we’ve become accustomed to here at the UpcomingDiscs ranch. I’m thinking Liv, the undead heroine of iZombie, must’ve gobbled up some of our offerings. (Or at least the UPS guy who was supposed to deliver them.) Nevertheless, iZombie: Season 1 from Warner Bros. — which also introduces us to Jane the Virgin: Season 1 — highlights this week’s slate of releases. Also on deck: Shout! Factory wrestles with The Bear, IndiePix casts a White Shadow, and Wild Eye Releasing crowns Queen Crab and unleashes A Plague So Pleasant.

And now for our weekly appeal to give you free stuff. Remember that once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title from among the comments in our weekly Round-Up posts. All you have to do is comment on a Round-Up post — like this one! — and tell us which of these titles you’re most excited to watch or read about.

Time flies when you’re having as much fun as we are cranking out our patented TV and movie reviews for you. But it still doesn’t move quite as fast as a certain superhero making his home video debut this week. We’ll be catching you up on The Flash: Season 1 courtesy of Warner Bros., which is also right on target with Arrow: Season 3. Fox introduces us to The Last Man on Earth: Season 1, Anchor Bay travels The Red Road: Season 2, Image Entertainment embarks on The Journey Home, and Shout! Factory leaves us in charge of The Nanny: Season 4. Meanwhile, Cinedigm lives the Pop Life, Lionsgate follows the Chain of Command, and Docurama reminds us that Kindness is Contagious.

That sound you hear blaring out of UpcomingDiscs headquarters this week is probably The Who. We’ll be saying B-Y-E to CSI, as The Final Season of the long-running procedural crime drama arrives courtesy of CBS/Paramount, which also delivers CSI: Cyber — Season 1. If you listen closely, you might also catch a little Electric Light Orchestra as Universal Music Group offers up ELO: Live in Hyde Park. HBO dives into the disturbed psyches of Nightingale and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Shout! Factory passes down The Legacy and The Bold Ones: The Protectors — The Complete Series.

Disney swings by with Monkey Kingdom, MPI Home Video rockets Closer to the Moon and cops to The Seven Five, while A&E Home Video revisits The Returned: Season 1. Warner Bros. geeks out with The Big Bang Theory: Season 8, and you can already check out our take on Peanuts: The EMMY Honored Collection.

And I reckon you guys don’t like free stuff as much as I figured you did. Remember that once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title from among the comments in our weekly Round-Up posts.

Despite our heroic efforts to bring you the best, most detailed reviews we possibly can, nobody here at UpcomingDiscs wears a cape. Neither do the heroes in Gotham: Season 1, which leads the pack of new titles arriving this week. We’ve already reminisced with Image Entertainment’s Crystal Lake Memories and copped to Shout! Factory’s Hill Street Blues: Season 6, while Warner Bros. will also offer Supernatural: Season 10 to go along with Gotham. Shout! Factory also answers When Calls the Heart: Heart and Home, and CBS/Paramount will spill Blue Bloods: Season 5. Lionsgate lives in The Age of Adaline and pulls off an American Heist, while Entertainment One offers us Haven: Season 5, Vol. 1.

What a lovely day! The 3D Blu-ray for Mad Max: Fury Road leads a stacked pack of 23(!!) new releases that we’ll be reviewing here at UpcomingDiscs, breaking a record set way back in…ok, it was two weeks ago. Fortunately, we’ve gotten a pretty good head start: you can already read our takes on CBS/Paramount’s The Originals: Season 2 and Hawaii Five-O: Season 5, Anchor Bay’s Lost After Dark and Felt, Lionsgate’s Panic 5 Bravo, Image Entertainment’s Run Hide Die, Shout! Factory’s Out of the Vault: Halloween collection, and IndiePix’s Falling Star. CBS/Paramount will also hop on The D Train, sting us with Scorpion: Season 1, offer up a Good Kill, introduce us to Madame Secretary: Season 1, and (roundhouse)kick butt with a Walker: Texas Ranger 4-Film Collection.

In addition to Mad Max, Warner Bros. presents a bloody good dose of The Vampire Diaries: Season 6. You won’t have to visit a website far, far away to read about Star Wars — Rebels: Season 1 from ABC/Disney, which is also turning over the keys to Castle: Season 7. Anchor Bay attempts to avoid The Curse of Downer’s Grove, HBO sings the blues with Bessie, A&E Home Video saddles up for Texas Rising, and Comedy Central Studios intimidates with I Am Dale Earnhardt. Last but not least, Entertainment One rises to The Surface while XLrator Media goes for a Five Star rating.

Those last two titles will also be part of our ever-popular giveaways. (You can already enter to win The Surface.)

We have some hungry, undead guests shuffling into this week’s Round Up. Anchor Bay will release the latest batch of episodes from one of the most popular shows on television with The Walking Dead: Season 5. We’ll also have a review of Anchor Bay’s high-stakes Big Game. Meanwhile, CBS/Paramount brings us a trio of network hits with Elementary: Season 3, Criminal Minds: Season 10, and The Good Wife: Season 6. MPI Home Video offers a hearty Welcome to New York, Cinedigm introduces us to Camilla Dickinson, Oscilloscope Laboratories unleashes Animals, Lionsgate reveals Where Hope Grows, and Warner Bros. assembles Lego animated flick Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom!

As always, don’t be shy about letting us know which of these titles you’re most excited to watch or read about. And since we know people love free stuff almost as much as ravenous zombies walkers enjoy the taste of human flesh, don’t forget: once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title from among the comments in our weekly Round-Up posts. You tell us what you’re interested in, and you might just get something free for sharing.

Busy times here at UpcomingDiscs. We’ve got our hands full with a grand total of 21(!) titles that release today — and who knows how many more flying in during the week — so keep checking our site for a barn full of reviews over the next week or so. But enough jibber jabber: let’s get to this week’s Round Up! CBS/Paramount is giving fans a triple of dose of NCIS with Season 12 of the original series, Season 6 of NCIS: Los Angeles, and Season 1 of NCIS: New Orleans. ABC/Disney’s offers magic and medicine with Once Upon a Time: Season 4 and Grey’s Anatomy: Season 11. Fox revives The Killing: Season 4, Lionsgate lets us live among The Royals: Season 1, Discovery Channel revs up for Fast N’ Loud: Speed Demons, and Entertainment One goes on patrol with Rookie Blue: Season 5, Volume One.

And we’re just getting started. Shout! Factory releases a quintet of titles: Nomads, Welcome Back, Kotter: The Final Season, The Rebel: Season 1, and a pair of double features with Easy Money/Men at Work and Metamorphosis/Beyond Darkness. Speaking of good things coming in fives: Mill Creek Entertainment will release the Hammer Film Collection and William Castle Horror Collection, each of which feature five spook-tastic films. Moguldom Studios offers a quick nip and tuck with plastic surgery docs Knifed Up and Bottoms Up, while Docurama explores sexual assault on college campuses with It Happened Here. Finally, MPI Home Video goes from 5 to 7, while A&E Home Video uncovers The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe.

It’s great being back in the saddle for the latest Tuesday Round Up. Gino was kind enough to jump in these last couple of weeks, but I know there’s gonna be hell to pay for my having slacked off. That reminds me…keep an eye out for our review of Entertainment One’s Hell on Wheels: Season 4. There must be something in the air this week with TV shows and fourth seasons because Warner Bros. sent us Person of Interest: Season 4 and 2 Broke Girls: Season 4. The studio also gave us a chance to catch up with Hot Pursuit, one of its big-screen offerings.

We like to think of ourselves as a curious, adventurous staff, so keep your eyes peeled for our takes on Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters: Collection 13 and Shark Week: Dominating the Deep. On top of that, we’ll check into HBO’s The Knick: Season 1, take a peek behind the feathers with Cinedigm’s I Am Big Bird, strive to keep the peace during CBS/Paramount’s The Dovekeepers, and bundle up for Anchor Bay’s Northmen: A Viking Saga. (You can already hear more about Northmen by clicking here.) Last but not least is the debut of Shout! Factory’s Maude: Season 2.

Howdy partners. Gino here again. Johnny’s still workin’ down at that bunkhouse. Hey, you don’t suppose he’s down there sleeping … Nah, couldn’t be. We have a huge week of titles stampeding their way into your local video stores this week. We’re going to cover most of them, so I’m going to stick with those this week.

Look for reviews of the following throughout the coming week. Shout Factory asks When Calls The Heart and reminisces with The Phil Silvers Show Season 3. CBS/Paramount declares I Love Lucy with Season 2 on Blu-ray. They are also engaged in The Affair Season 1. RLJ Entertainment scores a doubleheader with Appetites and Blackbird. You can win a copy of Blackbird by checking out our contest page. HBO faces front with The Comeback and Strike Back Season 3. Image is Burying The Ex while Lionsgate delivers Child 44 and Barely Lethal.  Arc Entertainment gets into the spirit with Phantom Halo. Warner Brothers wants to get you in the mood for their upcoming Man From U.N.C.L.E. film with the original show’s 29-episode First Season. Of course, Warner Brothers has already opened up the week here with The Casual Vacancy.

We’d love to hear you tell us what you plan to add to your own video collection this week. Starting this month we’re going to add a little incentive to hear from you. Once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title from among the comments in our weekly Round-Up posts. You tell us what you’re interested in, and you might just get something free for sharing. The winners and their prizes will be announced the first week of every month right here in our Tuesday Round-Up post.

And, partners, don’t forget. If you’ll be making that video withdrawal from Amazon, lasso yourself one of our many links to get there. It helps keep us going here on the Upcomingdiscs ranch. Until next week, share some light with someone this week… television light, that is.

Howdy, Partners. Johnny’s working down at the bunkhouse today, so here I am to let you know what might be causing a stampede down at your local video store. It’s a slow week here on the ranch, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be bringing you a few things to look at. We already have the early review up for Magnolia’s White God out on Blu-ray. I’ll be telling you more about Sony’s release of the final season of Sy-Fy’s Helix. Shout offers up some more “Shlock-O-Rama” with the release of Ghost Town. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on that one later, as well.

There are a few other titles of note this week. MPI circles back with Comet. Monarch declares She Loves Me Not. Section 23 delivers a 5-disc high-definition Anime collection on Blu-ray with No Game No Life. We’re looking forward to hearing what you’re planning to pick up this week.

And, Partners, don’t forget. If you’ll be making that video withdrawal from Amazon, lasso yourself one of our many links to get there. It helps keep us going here on the Upcomingdiscs ranch. Until next week, share some light with someone this week… television light, that is.

An offbeat vampire comedy and a fresh batch of alien-related theories highlight the latest crop of Blu-ray and DVD releases. Keep an eye on the site this week to find out what we think of What We Do in the Shadows. You’ll also be able to unearth our take on Ancient Aliens: Season 7 – Volume 1. On top of that, we’ve got reviews scheduled for the documentary 72 %, and horror-comedy The Jokesters.

Other titles coming out this week include the Robert Duvall Western Wild Horses, and the Donnie Yen martial arts thriller Kung Fu Killer, along with season 2 of Looking, and season 7 of Robot Chicken. As always, we’d love to hear from you: which of this week’s releases are you most excited about? And since we have stuff flying into UpcomingDiscs headquarters throughout the week — like the copy of Ex-Machina that arrived after last week’s Tuesday Round Up — be sure to keep an eye on this post for updates.

This week brings some truly eclectic offerings for Blu-ray and DVD aficionados of all stripes. Two of the year’s best-reviewed films — sci-fi thriller Ex Machina and low-budget horror flick It Follows — make their home video debuts. (And I absolutely plan on getting my hands on both.) Movie fans can also pick up a pair of sequels (The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2), plan a date night with the latest Nicholas Sparks adaptation (The Longest Ride), or check out the extended version of a summer blockbuster from last year (X-Men: Days of Future Past — The Rogue Cut.) Meanwhile, TV watchers can scoop up season 5 of Adventure Time or the debut season of superhero cop drama Powers.

Here at UpcomingDiscs, we’ll be reviewing some additional titles that will be available on July 14. So be sure to check in for our takes on Clouds of Sils Maria, All Quiet on the Western Front: The Uncut Edition, WKRP in Cincinnati: The Complete Third Season, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, Borderline, Singularity Principle, and a pair of double features in The Outing/The Godsend, and Cellar Dweller/Catacombs. We’d love to hear from you: which of this week’s releases are you most excited about?
