DVD Day: June 10th, 2008
? Jumper
Yes, this is the biggest release of the day. Kind of underwhelming, isn’t it?
? The Boondocks Second Season
Including two episodes that never made it to Adult Swim.
? Naruto Uncut Box Set Vol. 8
Enjoy these episodes while you can until the terrible filler episodes start hitting DVD.
? Bleach Uncut Box Set Vol. 1
Huh. I didn’t know this was coming out. It’s the same deal as the uncut Naruto DVDs, so I imagine it’ll do all right for itself.
? Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes Season 1
The cartoon that tried to ride the “success” of the movies. I have no recollection of this ever being shown on TV.
? Tekwar
Yes, the TV show based on the books by William Shatner on 3 DVDs. But it doesn’t include the Tekwar TV movies, in case you wanted to know.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
