DVD Day: December 27th, 2011
 |
?? Archer: Season 2
Along with The Venture Bros., one of the two funniest cartoons on TV. Period. Everyone buy eight copies so we can get five more seasons.
? Apollo 18
A sci-fi horror flick about a secret moon mission. I had heard of this, but had no idea it ever made it to theaters. Oh well.
? Fairy Tail: Part 2
I don’t generally include non-initial anime releases, but Fairy Tail: Part 2 here made it to Amazon’s Top 15 for the week, so that seemed notable. Of course, this might be because today’s DVD releases are pretty pitiful, but that seemed a bit mean-spirited to mention.
? Looney Tunes Golden Collection
All six of the excellent Golden Collections, complete with an exclusive flimsy cardboard box, for only $90.
? In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds
The Uwe Boll-directed, Dolph Lundgren-starring, totally unnecessary sequel to Uwe Boll’s Dungeon Siege movie. The trailer is here if you need reminding how fucking goofy it is.
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.
