Pennyworth: The Complete Second Season
Street Date: July 13, 2021
Synopsis: A year after the explosive events of last season, England finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war, with the powerful, neo-fascist Raven Union, led by Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) threatening to control the entire country. North London remains one of the few resistance holdouts remaining. It’s here in the West End Neutral Zone, that we find Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon). After years in the British Army, his training with the SAS has taught him to be a cynical optimist – expecting the worst, but knowing that he can handle it. Now running The Delaney, a black-market Soho club that welcomes everyone, regardless of their politics, Alfred, with his SAS mates, “Bazza” (Hainsley Lloyd Bennett) and “Daveboy” (Ryan Fletcher), is now in search of a way out – before London, and his country, burns itself to the ground. And he’s got his eye on America.
C.B. Strike: Lethal White
Street Date: July 13, 2021 (DVD Only)
Synopsis: Cormoran Strike is a war veteran turned private detective operating out of a tiny office in London’s Denmark Street. Though he’s wounded both physically and psychologically, Strike’s unique insight and his background as an SIB Investigator prove crucial in unravelling three complex cases.
Head of the Class: The Complete Third Season
Street Date: July 20, 2021 (DVD Only)
Synopsis: Laid-back substitute Charlie Moore (Howard Hesseman, WKRP in Cincinnati) continues to guide his ultra-gifted charges in the Individualized Honors Program (IHP) as they navigate their junior year of high school in the third season of this fan-favorite sitcom. The high-Q kids of IHP start the season with a bang in the (literally) history-making Back in the U.S.S.R. and Mission to Moscow, Parts 1 and 2, as they travel behind the no-longer-Iron Curtain for a rematch with their first-season Russian academic opponents in the first American sitcom to shoot on location in the then-Soviet Union. After their crash course in dating and détente, the IHP’s Arvid (Dan Frischman), Maria (Leslie Bega), Darlene (Robin Givens), Jawaharlal (Jory Husain), Janice (Tannis Vallely), Eric (Brian Robbins), Dennis (Dan Schneider), Sarah (Kimberly Russell), Alan (Tony O’Dell) and Simone (Khrystyne Haje) return to face the year with awkward aplomb.
The Herculoids: The Complete Original Series
Street Date: July 27, 2021
Synopsis: Somewhere out in deep space, and out of the creative imagination of the animation aces at Hanna- Barbera Studios, live the Herculoids. Humanoid Zandor — along with his wife, Tara, and son, Dorno — leads a group of unique creatures: Zok the flying dragon, powerful simian Igoo (who has rocklike skin), rhinoceros hybrid Tundro and two protoplasmic wonders appropriately named Gloop and Gleep. Together, they use their diverse super-strengths to defend their utopian planet against attack from such sinister invaders as the Pod Creatures, the Reptons and the Mutoids. For total family entertainment, this 18-episode, 3-disc collection is out of this world, literally.
Fans can purchase these titles at the Warner Archive Amazon Store or online retailers where DVDs and Blu-rays are sold.
