This week’s Round Up is boldly going where we haven’t gone before to review the newest addition to the Stark Trek canon.

CBS also follows the clues to Elementary: Season 6.  Meanwhile, Warner Bros. takes a UHD bite out of shark adventure The Meg (4K), Time Life goes back to school with Saved by the Bell: The Complete Series, and Disney keeps things brief (and emotional) with Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 3.

It’s here! The calendar has officially turned to October, which means it’s time to dim the lights, dial up the frights, and celebrate 31 Nights of Terror. We’ll be highlighting a different horror-themed offering every day this month, including The Originals: The Fifth and Final Season from Warner Bros.

Do you feel that chill in the air? (Well, if you’re anywhere near UpcomingDiscs HQ in Florida, the answer is an emphatic “No”…but just go with me on this.) That spine-tingling feeling signals the impending arrival of Horrorcane season and our annual 31 Nights of Terror throughout October. This week’s Round Up offers a sneak peek at 31 Nights thanks to RLJE Films pulling some strings with Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (4K) and Scream Factory’s head-spinning Exorcist II: The Heretic.

Thanks to Paramount, we’ll be reviewing the Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection in 4K. Magnolia appeals to a Higher Power, while over on the small screen Warner speeds through The Flash: Season 4 and makes a deal with the devil in Lucifer: Season 3.

Melissa McCarthy tends to be the life of the party whenever she appears on screen. So it’s no surprise that she’ll be livening up our weekly Tuesday Round Up with her latest comedy: Warner Bros. is releasing Life of the Party on Blu-ray this week! Warner is also looking to comics for inspiration by steeling itself for the Death of Superman and returning to Riverdale: Season 2 to check in on Archie, Veronica, and the rest of the gang. Elsewhere, Magnolia cuts down to the Marrowbone, while Shout! Factory goes on summer vacation with Boxcar Children: Surprise Island. Universal looks to break out with Breaking In, while Mill Creek enlists for WWI: The War to End All Wars, seeks out American Hunter: Season 1, and gets the lay of the land with Flora.

Having Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) as the star of your TV show is enough of a reason for us here at Upcomingdiscs to check it out. But the only thing better than getting J.K. Simmons to front your show is having *two* J.K. Simmons butting heads!

Meanwhile, Acorn will be putting their trust and Keeping Faith: Season 1.

What do the Iron Giant, King Kong, Chucky, and about a thousand other pop culture icons have in common?

You’ve probably noticed that Upcomingdiscs HQ is already pretty canine-friendly, but this week’s Round Up has truly gone to the dogs. Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs (Blu-ray) arrives courtesy of Fox, and I’m sure your tails are wagging in anticipation of what we have to say. Meanwhile, big meets bigger in Warner Bros.’ Rampage (4K), starring Dwayne Johnson…and some even larger beasts. Finally, Shout! Factory is on its best behavior in order to get to The Good Place: Season 2.

But wait…there’s more! Denzel Washington returns to theaters as a badass avenging angel in The Sequelizer The Equalizer 2, and we’ll have a review posted later this week. 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.

Shhhhhh…don’t make a sound. No, you didn’t wander into a library, but we are trying to keep things down this week at Upcomingdiscs HQ in honor of a certain surprise horror blockbuster. Paramount made a lot of noise with A Quiet Place in theaters, and we’ll soon have a review of the film in 4K. Elsewhere, Magnolia comes back to haunt us with Ismael’s Ghosts. There’s also a pair of theatrical releases we’ll be reviewing later in the week: Dwayne Johnson goes to great heights to entertain us in Skyscraper, while Sundance breakout Sorry to Bother You finds its voice.

Your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and grab a boatload of Tom Cruise action titles in UHD! With Cruise’s latest spy adventure as Ethan Hunt set to hit the big screen in just a few weeks, Paramount is releasing 4K versions of Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible 2, Mission: Impossible 3, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, and Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. And just for good measure, Paramount will also release the Cruise action/drama Jack Reacher in 4K. Elsewhere, Lionsgate pals around with the Frat Pack, settles scores with Acrimony, and gets its (extramarital) affairs in order with The Spinning Man.

Welcome to this week’s monster-iffic Tuesday Round Up! We kick things off with Universal going back for a second round of robots vs. kaiju butt-kicking with Pacific Rim: Uprising (4K) and trying not to go too crazy with Unsane (4K). And while calling Scrooge McDuck a monster is probably a bit strong, the penny-pinching quackster and his nephews get into some hot water in Duck Tales: Destination Adventure. In less monstrous news, Lionsgate puts the petal to the medal with Flower and Warner Bros. kicks things into high gear with soccer-centric family film Alex & Me.

The end of the week brings the biggest (and certainly oldest) monsters of them all. We’ll have a dino-tastic review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. 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.
