Editor's Notes

Note

Rounders has been on collector wishlists for years, and the 4K ask never goes away. The Rewatchables did a live episode, steelbook people have wanted one since at least 2021, and it comes up in pretty much every "what still needs a proper release" conversation. Shot on film with dark interiors and neon-lit poker rooms, the photography would really benefit from an HDR grade. 88 Films has a limited edition Blu-ray coming in May, which is the best way to own it right now.
