Well, color me shocked! Never thought that Pre-Go Go Boys Cannon flick would ever see a release. Might have to pick it up.

Fantastic news. I'm particularly surprised since MisterLime previously said this one didn't have a HD master, so I figured it must be with someone like Shout or Arrow.

Same here, I never figured Joe would make it to blu-ray. I watched this for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. That ending...

Holy %$# - I believe the expletive is warranted, since I'm amazed that this obscure & extremely underrated Peter Boyle film is actually coming to Blu. I never thought this would happen.

Joe is an amazing film. Great portrait of the early '70's era. The tensions between the young hippies & the older, middle-aged conservative adults/parents (with diametrically opposing viewpoints) is extremely well depicted here.

The early scene
[Show spoiler]with the lead (Susan Sarandon's father) accidentally killing her boyfriend was quite shocking when I first saw this, and was extremely unexpected. This is the catalyst that sets the film into motion, and leads to the unavoidable & tragic end.


Peter Boyle & a young Susan Sarandon were great in this, as was the other middle-aged actor who played the lead.

As Olive hasn't announced these titles, shouldn't you be following the same protocol of not spoiling these releases until they're officially announced?

For a brief second I thought this might be Crazy Joe (1974) That one needs a release.
