I know Father's Day isn't until June, but we don't feel like waiting around that long to celebrate. For this week's Round Up, we're moving the paternal holiday up by a few months in honor of the UHD release of Paramount's Daddy's Home 2 (4K). But wait there's more! Check back at the end of the week to get our take on a pair of theatrical releases: Natalie Portman ventures into dangerous territory in Annihilation, while Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams try to survive a raucous Game Night.
Before you run off until next week, here's for your customary reminder: 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!

This week's Tuesday Round Up is turning back the clock and venturing into one of the most extravagantly seedy neighborhoods of the last century. HBO releases The Deuce: Season 1, which transports viewers to Times Square in the 1970s. The series is the latest effort from David Simon and crime novelist George Pelecanos, who previously collaborated on a little show called The Wire. In the spirit of keeping things in the (crime) family, Warner Bros. gets savage with Animal Kingdom: Season 2. Meanwhile, Cinedigm checks in with hospital thriller Inoperable.
You'll also want to visit us later this week when we offer our take on Marvel's latest superhero extravaganza Black Panther. And now it's time for your customary reminder: 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!

This week's Round Up features one of the world's most popular superheroes like you've never seen him before. Warner Bros. put out the bat signal and we've decided to respond by reviewing Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (4K), which inserts the Caped Crusader into a Victorian-era adventure. Meanwhile, CBS goes into extraterrestrial battle with War of the Worlds: The Complete Series. (And you can already check out our takes on The Guardian: The Complete Series and Duckman: The Complete Series, also courtesy of CBS.) Acorn finds some direction with East West 101: Season 1, Shout! Factory taps into its wild side with Walking Out, and Sony plays a deadly game with the Accident Man. Finally, RLJ Entertainment issues a Kill Order...and be sure to keep an eye on the site for our interview with leading man Chris Mark.
While this is the start of a new month, you're going to get the same ol' reminder: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon — maybe a Valentine's Day gift for your sweetheart — and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

I want to play a game. Can you guess which left-for-dead horror franchise recently experienced a resurrection? If you guessed Saw, which features puppetmaster Jigsaw forcing victims to make impossibly deadly choices, then you're right. And if you want to see what he's up to these days, you're in luck: Lionsgate releases Jigsaw this week...so player beware. Elsewhere, Lionsgate goes a few rounds with boxing drama Jawbone. Meanwhile, Shout! Factory stays afloat with My Entire High School is Sinking into the Sea and crosses the Mason County Line. Finally, Warner Bros. weathers a series of catastrophes with Geostorm.
The Tuesday Round Up has been on a bit of a hiatus, but it's back and here to stay! Don't forget: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon — maybe a last minute Christmas gift — and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week and have a very Merry Christmas!

I think I see your problem. You have this list. It’s a list of people you need/want to buy a Christmas gift for. The trouble is that they’re into home theatre, and you don’t know Star Trek from Star Wars. You couldn’t tell a Wolf Man from a Wolverine. And you always thought that Paranormal Activity was something too kinky to talk about. Fortunately, Upcomingdiscs has come to the rescue every Christmas with our Gift Guide Spotlights.

Warner Brothers continues to lead the industry with television on Blu-ray. Other studios have experimented with some of their shows but no one puts more TV out in HD than Warner Brothers. Here are some of my favorite titles from 2017. Any of them would look great under the tree this season. Warner also has a nice collection of DC films out on Blu-ray.
