Sony has a major release that we explore in-depth with The Karate Kid 6-Film Ultimate 4K UHD Collection featuring the six existing films in the franchise in Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos audio and the original theatrical audio tracks. This set is stacked with new special features including never-before-seen deleted scenes and the complete 13-episode The Karate Kid: The Animated Series in standard definition. This lavish set, complete with cool collectibles, is available exclusively at Amazon.
We have some films fresh from theaters including the comedy Friendship from A24 starring Tim Robinson, Kate Mara, and Paul Rudd. The Blu-Ray release comes with special features such as a commentary track, deleted scenes, and a behind-the-scenes featurette. The company also has the disturbing horror film Bring Her Back starring Sally Hawkins from directors Danny and Michael Philippou arriving on 4K UHD Blu-Ray with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos audio, and a nice selection of special features like a commentary track and deleted scenes.
The fine folks at Lionsgate have a pair of wonderful new releases this month. First, we have the queer cult comedy classic But I’m A Cheerleader hitting 4K UHD Blu-Ray exclusively at Amazon. The release has Dolby Vision, two audio tracks and plenty of special features including a commentary track, interviews, and more.

The heroes at Radiance Films continue to deliver quality work with an exciting pair of titles this month.
