Our new disc review for today is none other than Stephen’s look at Wolfgang Petersen’s The NeverEnding Story (1984) in a terrific new 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition box set from our friends at Via Vision’s Imprint Films label. The 5-disc set has been released to honor the film’s 40th anniversary and includes multiple cuts of the film plus the 2024 Life After The NeverEnding Story documentary. And it comes in a package that replicates the book as seen in the film. It’s pretty special, so do give Stephen’s thoughts a look here.

Now then... the big news today is that Severn Films has just announced the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD release of two more classic Russ Meyer films, including Motorpsycho (1965) and Up! (1976). Pre-orders start today, with the street date set for 4/29. Each has been scanned from the original camera negatives. Look for HDR10 on the 4K discs with mono audio, plus new and archival special features that include audio commentaries and more.

Shout! Factory has begun announcing its April slate, which will include Chris McKay’s Renfield (2023) in 4K Ultra HD, Paul Briganti’s Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) on Blu-ray, and Mamoru Hosoda’s Summer Wars (2000) on both Blu-ray and 4K Steelbook (the latter for GKids) on 4/1, followed by Carol Frank’s Sorority House Massacre (1986) on 4K + BD on 4/8, Craig Zobel’s The Hunt (2020) on 4K on 4/22, and Peter Hyams’ Timecop (1994) on 4K + Blu-ray on 4/29.
