The Stuff(1985)

5.9/10

Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called “the Stuff,” a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It's got a delicious flavor to die for!

Universal put this on 4K in 2021 and it ranks Solid on bestblurays. Reference-level user scores for picture and sound, and owners say it's a clear step up from the Criterion Blu-ray, though Criterion still wins on extras. Gruv's 3-for-$30 sales have been moving it for around $10 USD.

The Protector(1985)

6.0/10

dir. James Glickenhaus

88 Films 4K. The American-produced Chan film where Hollywood hadn't figured out how to use him yet. Interesting as a curiosity, and the 88 Films disc is a solid presentation of a weird film.
