On July 15th, the dark comedy/thriller Crumb Catcher from director Chris Skotchdopole and producer Larry Fessenden (You’re Next) arrives in a Limited Edition release featuring a 1080p high-definition transfer on Blu-ray with hours of special features.

The wedding of Shane (Rigo Garay, Blackout) and Leah (Ella Rae Peck, Gossip Girl) gets a little wild and the groom can’t recall what he did before passing out in the bridal suite. The newlyweds head to their honeymoon house, only to get a late-night visit from the wedding bartender John (John Speredakos, The House of the Devil) and his wife Rose (Lorraine Farris, Blue Bloods), who threaten to blackmail Shane for something he can’t remember doing. It turns out the blackmailers are not only after money, they want the newly married couple to invest in their new invention, a revolutionary product called The Crumb Catcher. Equally hilarious and chilling, the film was hailed as one of the best horror films of 2024 by The Hollywood Reporter.

The special features include an audio commentary by writer-director Chris Skotchdopole, a behind-the-scenes featurette with cast and crew, short films including The Egg and the Hatchet, directed by Chris Skotchdopole and starring Taylor Zaudtke and Jeremy Gardner, and Camp Out by Chris Skotchdopole, a trailer, and an illustrated collector’s booklet with an introduction by producer Larry Fessenden and essays by Richard Newby and Tori Potenza.

On July 22nd, the ‘80s cop thriller, Cobra, starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and directed by George P. Cosmatos (Rambo: First Blood Part II), makes its global debut on 4K UHD. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration of the film from the original 35mm negative, and is packed with bonus content.

When a mass shooting at a crowded supermarket evolves into a hostage situation, the Los Angeles police call in Lieutenant Marion “Cobra” Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone, First Blood) to resolve the crisis. As Cobra succinctly tells the shooter, “You’re a disease, and I’m the cure,” and, even though he neutralizes the gunman, things get worse in the city. The shooter was a member of The New World, a muscle-bound violent cult led by the “Night Slasher” (Brian Thompson, Lionheart), who are rising up to reshape society to their ideals. Cobra must protect model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigette Nielsen, Red Sonja), who escaped an attack and is a witness against the Night Slasher if she lives. Cobra is one of the ‘80s crown jewels of The Cannon Group, with its mix of hyper violence and Stallone as the ultimate cop who goes beyond the law to stop crime.

The special features include audio commentaries by film critics Kim Newman and Nick de Semlyen and film scholars Josh Nelson and Martyn Pedler, an archive audio commentary by director George P. Cosmatos, a TV version of the film featuring deleted and alternate scenes, an interview with composer Sylvester Levay, a visual essay by film critic Abbey Bender on Cobra and 80s maximalist cinema, a visual essay by film critic Martyn Conterio on Cobra and the “Maverick Cop” genre, archival interviews with actors Brian Thompson, Marco Rodriguez, Andrew Robinson, Lee Garlington, and Art LaFleur, The Making of Cobra featurette, trailers, TV spots, an image gallery, an illustrated collector’s booklet with essays by Clem Bastow, William Bibbiani, Priscilla Page, and Ariel Schudson, and a double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tommy Pocket.
