DVD Day: February 14th, 2012

?? The Dead
This zombie movie is the top-selling nerd-related release of the week, and I don’t have the faintest what it is. Seriously, I’ve never even heard of it before.
? Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe
The most recent Christmas special, which I thought was pretty good. I don’t know why they don’t wait to release these things until the next Christmas, though. I’ve never bought a Christmas special in any month other than December.
? Doctor Who: The Sensorites and The Caves of Androzani
Episode 7 and a special edition version of the final Colin Baker Peter Davison serial, respectively.
? Dragon Age: Redemption
The official, EA-approved web series with Felicia Day as an elven assassin.

? Jem and the Holograms Season 2
Four discs, 27 episodes, 21 dollars.
? Kung Fu Dino Posse: Meet the Posse
There’s dinosaurs in gis on the cover. The pterodactyl is “combing” his “hair.” It’s divine. I’m going to have a Kung Fu Dino Posse/Nude Nuns with Big Guns double feature as soon as humanly possible.
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.
