This week, we spotlight the 4K UHD Blu-Ray debut of the action-comedy Novocaine from Paramount. The film starring Jack Quaid comes with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio along with a trio of featurettes. Also debuting on 4K UHD Blu-Ray are Batman Ninja and Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League from Warner Bros. Both are presented in Dolby Vision with Japanese and English audio options, plus a smattering of supplemental features.

The fine folks at The Criterion Collection have a pair of wonderful new releases this month. First, we have the Oscar-nominated drama You Can Count On Me starring Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo hitting 4K UHD Blu-Ray from a new 4K scan of the 35mm Interpositive in Dolby Vision supervised by director Kenneth Lonergan. The release comes with a commentary track, new interviews, and more. We also have a 4K UHD Blu-Ray upgrade of Fritz Lang’s iconic film noir The Big Heat from a 4K restoration of the 35mm Original Camera Negative and a Fine Grain Master Positive in Dolby Vision with a new commentary track, a visual essay, interviews, and more.

The folks at Shout! Studios have rescued another indie gem with the Blu-Ray debut of the cult comedy Strangers with Candy newly restored in 4K from the 35mm Interpositive. This release includes a commentary track, deleted scenes, and more. The comedy gets a bit darker with the incredible, award-winning A Different Man starring Sebastian Stan on Blu-Ray from A24. The release includes a Dolby Atmos audio track, a commentary track, deleted scenes, featurettes, and more.

The heroes at Arrow Video continue to deliver quality work with an exciting slate of titles this month. Action fans can celebrate the 4K UHD Blu-Ray upgrade of Cobra starring Sylvester Stallone, derived from a 4K restoration of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with three commentary tracks, an extended TV version of the feature in standard definition, a visual essay, interviews, and more. This is not the only 4K UHD upgrade as the Larry Cohen cult horror favorite The Stuff gets a 4K restoration of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with commentary tracks, documentaries, interviews, and more. Perhaps most importantly, there is a remastered Pre-Release cut of the film included with over 30 minutes of never-before-seen footage. Finally, the label has the thrilling Nightwatch Collection double feature on Blu-Ray starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. This release includes a commentary track, visual aids, interviews, and more.
