All right, we have a bit of a whirlwind to report here at The Digital Bits today, and I’m going to be talking about it all in detail later this afternoon for our Patreon subscribers in our next My Two Cents: A Video Blog over there. But I’ll to the short version of it all in a moment.

First, we have a bunch of new disc reviews to share with you this week, including…

Stephen’s look at Doug Liman’s Go (1999) in 4K Ultra HD from Arrow Video, and Frank Oz’s Little Shop of Horrors (1986) in 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros.
