School Spirit (1985) coming from Shout - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

DasRetroKid · 07-13-2023, 05:17 PM

They're on the second page, though I do find it odd Shout wouldn't put these at the very top of the first page.

Ya the one thing I really hate about these random exclusives is the $30 price plus after shipping/tax it's $40+! I have picked up a couple but I just can't keep justifying it, they should at least be 4k at that price or they should drop the price down to $20ish.

They will only drop their price during sales, IF they don't sell well. The reason they are $30 is because that's likely around the cost of producing a run of only 1500. If they had to charge less, they probably would not release these exclusive titles in the first place. I think it's nice that at least we have the option. If you don't like the $30, don't buy it.

They've already sold 279 copies in the last 2 days, which is really good.

Since they got a Corman Library again SF needs to get off their asses and release STEPMONSTER on blu.

Why does shout make you go through the mess of emailing a log in code each and every time you log in now to the weird new website?

Akuash · 07-14-2023, 12:27 PM

I have never seen this but I do remember the artwork from back in the days of VHS.

So I kind of want this, but not for $41 Canadian. Especially considering that there are no special features and no slipcover.

I had to enter two separate codes to gain access (one emailed and another sent via text). I'm done ordering from them directly.

BeyondBeyond · 07-14-2023, 01:17 PM

Ideally this would have been a double feature disc to make it more worthwhile. I ended up throwing in another exclusive title to get free shipping.

They shipped these fast! Just got this in the mail.

Here's back cover of this and Sawbones if anyone is interested (forgive the cellophane glare, I was running out the door when these arrived):

And it's from a film genre (sex comedies) that many boutiques refused to release titles from because they thought they wouldn't sell. This and Culture Shock's Virgin High/Hot Under the Collar proves they do sell well.

loxly · 07-14-2023, 06:59 PM

No slip?

buck135 · 07-14-2023, 07:10 PM

Just ordered all three. What the hell, they sound interesting enough.

School Spirit was part of the Roger Corman Comedy Collection DVD series. Some others in the series I’d like to see released on blu-ray:

meremortal · 07-15-2023, 07:15 AM

This will likely be way better than the old dvd. Just tough to pay that kind of money for movies these days. I'd kind of rather reserve it for releases that go all out like Undefeatable on 4k. But I get it that this is the first ever decent presentation on home video and I do applaud them for restoring an obscure film. Had it been a double feature with Last Resort, Beach Balls, etc then it'd be a much easier decision. Unfortunately with this being a limited release it'll target people looking to sell it and those looking to panic buy before it sells out. It's a low risk model that works for Shout and so we know why they do it.

Katatonia · 07-16-2023, 06:22 AM

Mine arrived on Friday along with Lords of the Deep. The School Spirit transfer isn't awesome (a little soft), but it's still obviously far better than my old DVD from 2004.

Besides the Trailer, there's nothing else on the disc.
