I already have the very nice Criterion BD. Give me something new.

You accidentally lopped off the start of the writeup.

[Cremildo]

Gotta put my old-ass, unused MGM Blue Velvet BD for sale.

Curious about the Mexican classic.

[PipesDonatello]

Nice, I was so bogged down at work that I forgot announcements were happening today. What a great month!

[RevolverOcelScott]

Just Blue Velvet for me.

I just wanted to say I appreciate the artwork and write-up uploads you do Mifunefan.

[Brad1963]

Count me in for Victims of Sin and Querelle.

[DimitriL]

Man, the extras on Underground Railroad are fantastic. Nice to see so much effort put into that package.

[BigDmo531]

Idk Querelle, it would be my first Fassbinder if I got it and I gotta say I'm tempted cuz that cover art rules

[Egbert Souse]

Wow, what a month! Seems like Bound has all the Arrow/Olive Signature extras intact, though I'm surprised they're not noting whether it's the unrated or theatrical cut.

[Wackotaco]

Man, this is a 5 for 6 month for me. Don't really feel the need for the Fear and Loathing 4k since I got the Arrow release. Nice job Criterion

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE just give us i'm thinking of ending things.

Holy shit my Underground Railroad prediction actually came true!

Yes please. One of the greatest series I've ever seen and I cannot wait to own it on physical media.

[Gacivory]

Querelle, The Underground Railroad, Bound, and Blue Velvet are guaranteed purchases! Curious about Victims of Sin.

[MifuneFan]

Really great month. I was not expecting Blue Velvet so soon. Figured they'd would do a theatrical run of it first like Lost Highway got.

[javy]

I'll take Victims of Sin.

That Querelle cover looks like AI made it. I have no frame of reference for the movie or its original poster art.
