  THE IDIOT BOX is back, and Severin Films has it! Alex Winter and Tom Stern's outrageous and subversive 1991 MTV sketch comedy series is finally available on home video, looking great and tickling (and occasionally breaking) ribs once more, with fun extras that dig into the creation of this long-lost (and fondly remembered) bit of cathode ray anarchy. Available directly from Severin here (currently 28% off): https://severinfilms.com/products/the-idiot-box-blu-ray-w-le-slipcover Full review here:

  Liberation Hall brings the surviving episodes of the short-lived 1950s THE BUSTER KEATON SHOW to Blu-ray, with some fun extras, the best of which is a fascinating TV roundtable with Buster and other old-time comedians talking shop and the mechanics of getting screen laughs. Quality varies, but it's fun to see Buster in his 60s still as spry as ever, going all in on physical comedy in a single-camera sitcom setting.
